It took a second try but Stefan identified and replaced my circuit breaker. He spoke with my warranty company to explain the issue. He identified another electrical
Issue regarding a transformer.

Sims and Sons came to give a quote for installing a chandelier in the dining room and ended up getting straight to work upon arrival. It took three guys about two hours to get it hooked up. They mounted it flawlessly and added extra anchors to ensure it's security -- it is 51lbs. Outstanding and professional. I will definitely use this company for future work.

This is the second time I used T&D and I cant say enough good things about them.  They are prompt, reliable and professional.

Speaking of the most recent visit, the technician found the problem within 5 minutes of starting work.   (It was a bad switch)   In order to make use of our time for the service call, we had the technician put some new electrical sockets around the house that we never got around to.  And he was so prompt and professional, we really felt the value of his visit.   Thank you T&D for being quick, prompt and thorough.  We will call you again as you are our GOTO electricians for any job, small or large.

Ted did a wonderful job installing my new ceiling fan.  I had purchased it on Amazon and had a HORRIBLE experience with the person they sent to install it. After that fell through, I reached out to Ted.

Ted arrived right on time and got to work right away. He finished the install sooner than expected and was very professional the whole time he was here. Very knowledgable and efficient in his work.

I'll definitely use his services if I need any more electrical work, and would strongly recommend  you do as well.

Joe responded quickly, arrived on time, and did a fantastic job. Not only did he fix the problem that I called him for, he also discovered and fixed another problem in an upstream fixture. A diligent professional at a very fair price: you can't ask for more than that!

Chris is very responsive, honest and good at what he does. He is the person to call for quick and easy fixes - he says he specializes in service calls (installing light fixtures, troubleshooting things around your house). Definitely give him a call, he'll take care of your project quickly and professionally.

All around great first time experience. I called on a cold snowy night and the owner had someone (Leeroy) out to me within a couple of hours. Leeroy was great, and fixed my issue with my outdoor GFCI outlet almost instantly. So thankful to have a great electrician in my phonebook now!

Ryan hung a ceiling fan that I was unable to hang safely and had given up -- though I'd successfully hung the exact model in another room in the house.  He's a creative problem solver, and we carried on an interesting conversation as he worked.  Final cost was LESS than he estimated.

I can't even begin to tell you how thrilled I am with the service I received from Highlights Chicago.  First of all, I was referred to Highlights Chicago by Jeanette at Skyline Electric and am so thankful for her recommendation (my address was outside of their service area).  Here's my story.  I was having issues with my Kenmore washer which was part of a stackable laundry unit.  I called Sears repair on 4/28/20.  I made an appointment for the next day.  On 4/29/20 the technician that arrived determined that the unit needed a new Laundry Center Dryer Electronic Control Board and a Laundry Center Water Valve Assembly.  He ordered the parts to be shipped to my address and scheduled another appointment for 5/18 telling me if I received the parts before then I could make an appointment for an earlier time.  The parts had not arrived by 5/18 and since I couldn't get a satisfactory explanation from Sears about when I could expect to receive them, I cancelled my appointment.  I then called Chicago Appliance Company.  I was able to get an appointment for the next day.  The repairman told me that it could be one of three different issues causing the problem.  He came back on three separate occasions each time switching out different parts.  Nothing worked.  I ended up purchasing a new GE stackable laundry unit from Cole's.  BTW - The Kenmore unit was only 5 years old.  The new unit was installed on 5/28.  On 5/29 I tried to do a load of laundry and the washer wasn't performing correctly.  I called Cole's and they sent over the guy who installed the unit.  He told me that the problem was probably with the electrical outlet.  I got a recommendation from Cole's for an electrician who came out the next day and switched out the outlet.  That seemed to fix the problem until 7/11 when my washer wouldn't drain, rinse, or spin.  I made an appointment with GE Appliance Repair but the earliest that they could come was 7/21.  I got to thinking about the problem and wondered if it could be something else with the electrical system.  I called Highlights Chicago this morning at 7:00 a.m.  I talked to Boz.  I explained the problem and was able to make an appointment for today between 8:30-9:00.  Jimmy and Delvin arrived at 8:30.  I explained the situation and it didn't take long for them to locate the problem.  It was a worn circuit breaker in the electrical panel.  Needless to say, I was so relieved that someone finally figured out what was wrong.  Jimmy explained everything to me in detail.  He and Delvin are the best servicemen I've ever encountered.  I highly recommend Highlights Chicago and Jimmy and Delvin.  Thanks guys!   You're the best!

Rogelio did a great job moving an outlet inside our kitchen island.

A great experience!

Jose from Tweaks & Finishes was very quick to reply to communications and then to submit his bid.

He priced the job very competitively, scheduled it for later that day, arrived a few minutes early.

He unpacked and installed the fixture correctly, carefully, and even requested my confirmation of approval (placement, pendant light height, etc.) at each step.

He worked cleanly, fast, was 100% competent, and very friendly the whole time.

No surprises or disappointments.

Really an exceptional experience.

We have used Jake over the years for all of our electrical needs. He is absolutely amazing and always works incredibly hard and fast. If you are looking for surround sound, new canned lighting, rewiring or all of the above, he is 100% the man for the job!

When Neville arrived I was impressed by his professionalism and easy demeanor.

We had two problems going on:

(1) The lighting fixture under the kitchen cabinet over the sink--We couldn't get the light to turn on. I thought it may have had something to do with the ballast.

(2) The ceiling fan in the bedroom was not working properly and making clicking sounds. The dome for the light housing was next to impossible to get off if we ever needed to change the bulb.

Now before I get into why you should like this company, I want to point out that we had a contractor who came by to do some work on our unit about two weeks ago. He demonstrated no professionalism; lied about what he did; over-charged for his services and did a half-assed job--leaving one of the two light switches disabled when he left. Also, he gave an assessment of the ceiling fan and said that it would be very expensive. He was scheduled to come back (with parts that he purchased) and take care of the ceiling fan. Unfortunately, people like this never show up on the radar screen on places like Yelp--they are a hole in the wall and generally give the industry a bad name. Realizing that the landlord was going to have this guy come back, I  informed the landlord of the shoddy services performed and that he was probably being overcharged--which he was. The landlord started searching for another contractor.

After showing Neville the problem with the kitchen fixture, he had it figured out in less than ten minutes. Problem solved! loose wire. No parts. Very little labor. Smart trouble-shooting.

The ceiling fan was a bit more tricky. The dome had to be unscrewed and required a bit of tenacity as well as finesse. Dome light with a bit of work was removed. Taking apart the fan motor, he was able to trouble-shoot where the clicking was coming from and correct the problem. With the fan being as old as it was it was determined that it should be replaced. But because we rent out the condo, it was fine just the way it was so long as we did not have the fan set to maximum speed. Besides, with fall here and winter approaching we really didn't the fan that much anyway. But since he fixed the problem with the clicking we have used the fan at night for circulation and it is whisper-quite.

At the end of the job, which took less time than I thought, he didn't have to replace anything. No parts to replace--just the labor. Blacklite has probably saved our landlord several hundred, if not thousands of dollars, because Casablanca fans are not cheap.

I know I was probably a bit more detailed in this review than I perhaps needed to be, but I just wanted to compare the services of a contractor that has great customer service skills, professionalism and knows his trade compared to a contractor that doesn't and is only out to get rip a hole in your pocket.

When we move and get our own place, this company is definitely on my list as a keeper. Thanks again Neville for a great job even though I don't own the place.

The 5 star reviews of Kinetic are real. I found them because of the high Yelp reviews after having a strange problem where half of my kitchen was out of power. From the very first call, the team at Kinetic was excellent! The dispatcher was so pleasant and they were able to send someone out immediately... a big save considering my fridge was without power. The crew member that showed up was extremely professional. Even though my house was all ripped up (we are redoing floors) he wore booties to not track any additional mess. He got right to work and within 45 minutes we were back on! He explained the issue to me very clearly (no ground on the ceiling fan, who knew?!) and answered all my questions. No gimmicks here, just a great company.

Honest, transparent about costs, and delivered excellent work on time for installing an electric car charger. He looked up specs on the car company website, going the extra mile to ensure he did the best work.

Frank is very professional.  Showed up when he said he would, explained what he was doing, and even provided a lower price than what he first quoted.  I will definitely call him again for any electrical job.  Highly recommend!

Pros: responsive, punctual, honest, respectful of my home, fair pricing
Cons: none found
Alex did a great job replacing a broken switch. He responded quickly to my initial request and was fast in communicating throughout the scheduling process. We are very happy with the quality of work.
We'll likely have to have most of our old wiring replaced and are looking forward to have Alex and his team back. Seems to be a newer company, and I'm glad we took a chance on them.

Toufik was great, very knowledgeable and efficient. I would hire Fixer again without hesitation
