We bought an older property that needed a major electrical update and everything brought up to code. Stefan took his time and walked us through the entire process from start to finish. He was timely, polite, and very informative. His pricing was fair and fit our budget nicely. He was right on schedule and had everything done within a super convenient timeframe. We'll be sure to give him a call back for any of our future projects. I would highly recommend giving Stefan at AC/DC a call for any electrical needs!

I really can't say enough good things about Darrel and his crew! My association decided to update multiple exterior light posts which also included a repair to a non working post. Darrel was extremely patient, provided helpful guidance, and offered a fair price. The work is fantastic, the association is pleased, and I've found a trusted electrician. Do not hesitate to call Sims and Sons for excellent, personable service!

Excellent service! We were having some wiring issues with our a/c unit, so we contacted T&D. Our technician was Rodrigo, and he was fantastic! He was able to quickly diagnosis the problem and setup a plan to resolve the issues. He was very through and explained every step along the way.  I was very impressed by the service we received. We will only be using T&D for any future electrical issues.

Ted and his son were great!  Ted was very responsive in getting me a quote and setting up an appointment time.  He confirmed with me the day of, and showed up on time.  He installed light fixtures and changed a switch for me.  Pointed something out that would have been a huge mistake on my part as to the type of lighting fixture that I had purchased.  Very friendly guys, I will not hesitate in contacting them again in the future for any electrical work.

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!

First of all, I rarely write reviews but I was so impressed I felt the need to write this one.  I needed a light switch replaced in my kitchen.  Chris responded quickly with a very fair estimate yesterday and was able to schedule an appointment for today.  Chris is professional, courteous, efficient and very reasonable with his charges.  I have already discussed having him replace some light fixtures in my house.  I highly recommend ALC Electric!

Greenline was prompt and easy to work with from the start - sent over some times that would work and showed up right on time.

We were having issues with the outlets on one wall going dead and Greenline was able to diagnose the issue quickly and get it fixed. They were also able to assess a standing desk (powered) that had suddenly stopped working and helped us get in contact with the manufacturer to submit a warranty claim on the internal motor components.

Highly recommend to anyone in the Chicago area who needs an electrician.

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.

Disappointed call a day later. An hr late. To check wires for 5 min 150 dollars Fyi whoever calls

Steer Clear. This is not a legitimate electrical company. Gave me an estimate and did the electrical work for an EV charger in our condo building. Even though building management didn't request City of Chicago license initially, they checked for it later (it can be asked for at any time) and this company is not licensed in the City of Chicago and its illegal to do residential work without it. The job was done completely wrong and he almost blew the sump pump and electrical to entire building by connecting to a panel inexplicably and was told not to. Installed wiring that was bent and broken and taped together which could have caused shocks and burning. New contractor easily installed it - no bends or breaks. The wall outlet installed was open and exposed, and if water dripped to it could electrocute people. Sloppy, cut corners, dangerous, illegal and not up to code. Absolute garbage, rushed work. Refused to get City of Chicago license and come fix job. We will be pursuing our money back. This is an illegitimate electrical company. Avoid at all costs.

Addendum to review:

Right, I'm not an electrician , but here are couple facts that a real electrician should have known and done, that found out about your job.

You were told by the building engineer to use the 480/277 volt panel because 208/120 was already at the capacity.

You just plainly ignored that and proceeded with your version. Maybe you don't know the difference between two.

You ran 208/ 120 wires through 480/277 panel which was a huge code violation and a human life safety issue.

And that's not all:

Then you spliced those wires inside that panel multiple times -- code violation.

You then decided to use lightning contractor conduit to run the wires and overfill that conduit -- code violation.

You installed the breaker at the wrong panel (which was at capacity) so you overloaded that panel.

The wire was badly scraped

You removed pipe straps and made the electrical conduit loose -- code violation.

J boxes that you installed were unsecured and loose with knock outs missing -- code violation

I'm still waiting on the city of Chicago electrical registration paperwork  from you.

A qualified electrician would know right away that he is working with 480/277 volts and would have informed me that i needed a step down transformer in order for the EV charger to work!

On top things you have charged me over $2K for 2 J boxes and a roll of #6 wire, which costs $600 at the most. The piping was already 97% there , so what took you so long.

It took a qualified electrician a total of 8 hours to remove the faulty work and install everything from scratch including installing the transformer.

We'll happily accept a refund to settle this matter

High quality work for a great price. Very impressed and will be hiring them for more work in the future. They hung a chandelier in my house with very high ceilings and it looks great.

Had an awesome experience with Jake. I got into some trouble trying to swap out a light fixture and created a bit of a wiring mess for myself that he was able to skillfully clean up. He was able to go pop out and buy a replacement light fixture that would fit my junction box and install that too. While he was at my house he added a plug to a closet that we had been wanting installed since we moved in. Super efficient work, very pleasant interactions, reasonable pricing- I will definitely be calling Jake up again for future work.

Neville's crew did an amazing job with two major projects I had.

First project was to install outlets near the toilets in two bathrooms (to allow for the use of Toto Washlets). This required entirely new wiring and attaching to existing electrical runs. Did a great job with minimal impact to the small patch of drywall that needed to be removed to get to the existing wiring.

Second project was to install cable runs to hide wires for a wall mounted TV.

Both of these projects went great, took less time than expected, and were priced at a very fair rate. Would highly recommend!

Fair, prompt and courteous. I was very happy with the work they did and would certainly use them again.

A++ in all aspects. I had great pleasure to hire Tom's company for our house project. The project included multiple rooms. Complete Bath and kitchen electrical renovation. Two bathrooms received outlets, switches, can lights and fans. The kitchen received  new can lights and outlets. Living room got new can lights. We also added wired smoke detectors throughout the house. Tom was a total professional when he came in for the estimate. Everything was explained so that there were no surprises any time during the project and he made sure that we understood the work that was going to take place. Prices were very competitive, and work was done in the time promised. Tom made sure that everything was done right, to code and left everything clean and spotless. I would definitely hire again. Highly recommended.

Ted changed out fixtures throughout our house, including a difficult chandelier in our dining room. He also fixed a hot outlet and looked at our garage electrical. He was on time, fairly priced, and did great work. We'll be using him again.

Alex responded to my posting quickly, was clear on costs, and came out at 8am the following day as promised. I gave wrong information on parts and he was ready with solutions to salvage the job and gave great advice. Would definitely hire again.

I cannot express sincerely enough how disappointed I am in Fixer after having used their service for the last 4 years. The only reason they get two stars is because the actual handy people are pretty great. The shortest version of this story is that due to a complete accident (which wasn't a big deal to me because accidents happen), my shower door broke. It took Fixer 144 DAYS to resolve the issue, during which time I had to hound them relentlessly to actually see any movement. At no point did Fixer seem actively interested in retaining me as a customer in the future or offer me anything beyond fixing the damage caused.

December 30th, I had Kenny out to help me with a few tasks, including replacing a broken seal on my shower door (which had broken again after a previous fixer replaced it months prior). Kenny determined that the door hinge was damaged and needed to be replaced, and informed me that Fixer would order this and send a repair person out to fix it.

By January 21st, I had still not heard from Fixer despite reaching out twice about this issue, and emailed with a complaint. Fixer apologized right away and said my part was ordered and due in February 3rd, and that they'd waive the special order fee and credit me $25 towards my next visit. This was just fine with me.

January 29th, Augustin came out to replace the hinge, at which time we discovered that Fixer had NOT ordered a hinge (as Kenny had outlined in the purchase order, which I saw both at that time and on the 29th) but rather a shower door seal (which was unnecessary as it would just keep breaking until the door was repaired). In an attempt to resolve my issue, Augustin attempted to repair the hinge, and in his attempt the entire door shattered with such force that it chipped the paint on my bathroom door and walls. This wasn't the issue; mistakes happen.

It took until March 1st for Fixer to have worked with another company (Ardmore Glass) to get my door replaced. They scheduled a visit for March 2nd. Nobody arrived. I was told there had been a mistake and Ardmore would be coming on the 9th. They came and determined they'd need to replace the entire shower surround, as there was no remaining door hinge. I was told by Fixer on March 28th that Ardmore expected to receive my new frame that week and that I could expect glass to be installed 7-10 days later. I said I could be available for install on March 30th, and was told the surround hadnt arrived yet and they'd let me know when it did. I heard nothing from Fixer until I reached out again on April 6th and was told on the 7th that my frame had 'finally' arrived. Weird how that happened the day after I pestered them.

April 15th, Ardmore Glass came out again and took more measurements but installed nothing. May 1st, I reached out to Fixer AGAIN to follow up about the status of my project. May 2nd, I received an apology explaining that Fixer does 'not have a complete process for when elevated issues like this arise' and informing me that they were 'committed to making this right' for me. May 5th, Ardmore came out and installed my shower surround and glass, which I would have thought was the end of this nonsense but nope! Ardmore hadn't put any sort of seal around the glass, meaning that when I used my shower, water poured out all over my bathroom floor. I emailed Fixer yet again on May 10th to inform them of this issue. They offered to send a manager out to take the measurements for a seal and I provided those measurements myself. On May 12th, Fixer then said that because this was installed by Ardmore, it was their responsibility to resolve the leak, and that they could return on Monday, May 16th to fix it. I was unavailable that day and asked if they could come on the 17th instead; I was told Fixer would verify this time with Ardmore and let me know ASAP. At 5pm on the 16th, I had to reach out to Fixer to see if there had been an update from Ardmore, and I was told 'we would need to check back in with them. At this point we think it may be better to aim for 9am on Wednesday or Thursday.' I said either would work.

The final and most completely ridiculous element was that then, the NEXT MORNING, Tuesday the 17th (when I had originally offered my availability and been told the above nonsense about needing to check back in with them) I received a text from Fixer at 8:47am that read Hi Theresa- we're terribly sorry for the confusion. Ardmore is scheduled for Tuesday morning-we just heard back from them. If that still works for you, they will give you a call when they are on their way. I was given THIRTEEN MINUTES NOTICE of an appointment.

Even attempting to cancel my Care & Protect membership, a service about which I had been really excited when it launched, was a joke. I received an email response that only read 'd' from the manager I'd been corresponding with on the 17th of May. It took until TODAY, the 23rd of May, to get an email back confirming my membership was cancelled. What a mess.
