Best in Chicago IL
One of the only union electricians in the Channahon area that does RESIDENTIAL work.
Mr. Paxson did an excellent job! We had three receptacles, two fans, and three switches installed. Mr. Paxson gave us a very good estimate, and stayed in contact with us as we decided what to have done.
On the day the work was completed he showed up on time.
All of the work is top notch!
As the work was completed he kept the area very clean.
Everything was done within three hours.
Please see the photos and video I have posted.
If you want it done right the first time call him.
- I know good electrical work.
(I myself was in the electrical union previously.)

I got recessed lighting and fan/light combo installed all over my house. Out of the multiple quotes I got from various electricians, Eddie was the only one who actually recommended getting fewer number of lights per room than what the other guys told me. He is very hardworking, honest and passionate about his work. Not only is he an experienced and knowledgeable electrician, but he also has a great design sense. Most electricians will show up and ask you what you'd like to get done and give you a quote (and some will oversell). Eddie was able to make good suggestions from a design standpoint for placement of the lights and I could not be happier on how everything turned out. I would highly recommend Electra - City for a stress-free and high quality experience with any electrical project!

We have been having issues with the fuse going out in the bedroom. We had these guys come out to see what was the issue. The technician told us that there is a bad appliance plugged in. Well, we knew this. He didn't really try to find the root cause of this, even though the service call charge was a hefty $115. The technician should have spent at least a few minutes to determine the cause to the best of his ability if they are charging this much just to come out.
When we received the bill, it indicates that there is a 13% charge to use a credit card! Do you expect people to mail checks in?? This is clearly not the way to do business in 2015. Will not be using them again.

I called for two small jobs that took 20 minutes in total where I already supplied the parts. Another company would have charged me under $200 if I had the parts already with me but timing didn't work out to her them. I was charged over $500 which was an absolute joke. I do not recommend this company. They force charged an inspection upon arrival that was not asked for, dragged out their visit and then offers 3 scenarios for work (all insulting prices) with the last option finally doing what was asked at a premium rate. The technician was nice, respectful and did a great job on the tasks. He was just doing as he was instructed.

I purchased a mirror from Wayfair and added on installation. No one ever showed up. I was so upset and cancelled the installation with them. I reached out to Eligio, and he contacted me right away. Thankfully, he was able to come out the same day. He installed the mirror in such a short amount of time and was super professional. I highly recommend him!

We had an electric heater and new blow dryer on at the same time tripping a circuit breaker that was overloaded and warm to touch. He was available quickly and explained the situation. I would call him again for any other electrical need.

This is the best electrical contractor in the area.When I had a short in my kitchen, two other electricians could not find the problem. I was told that I would need to gut my kitchen to either find the break or to just have it rewired. Luckily a friend referred me & told me to I call Olson before making my decision. They came out promptly & luckily found the issue. The others were on the right track, but stopped short of finding the issue. Steve & Paul located the break, & were able to fix the issue without having to gut the kitchen. They do quality work, & are extremely knowledgeable. I refer them now, & will only use them for my electrical in the future!!

I recently had an emergency situation and was able to reach these guys. At the time I would have let anybody help me but I'm glad they answered. It turns out the problem was minor and they were honest enough to tell me that. I appreciate the honesty and great service.

Affordable prices and professional work. 5 star electrical company! I will definitely use them again.

Perfect! Had some kitchen lighting installed. Aspire was prompt, creative and knew exactly how to complete my project. After they left, there was no evidence that work had been done - other than the lighting! No mess, no cleanup for me. Highly recommended.

Had some outlets that were out and one that needed to be fixed! They fixed everything in half an hour and very reasonable pricing! They even called me the next day that I first called to let me know someone canceled and they could come today! Compared to others this was a great price! They were on time and worked quickly! Will use them for remodel!!

Dino was great to work with!! We needed a lot of work done at our church. Outside lights, ceiling fans, install a light in a closet and replace fluorescent lights with LED. His work was top notch. He even was nice enough to pick up the ceiling fans I ordered from Home Depot. I would not trust anyone else to do my electrical work.

I would never recommend Advance Area Service to anyone! The worker
who appears to be the person who operates this business was extremely
rude, and unprofessional. I recommended his services to assist an elderly family member, and he treated her like crap. He was rude, disrespectful, and
crass. He speaks to his customers with a negative tone and does not like
you asking him questions about the job you paid him for. He takes advantage of elderly people, by taking their money and informing them if there is a problem with his work, he will continue to charge them if he has to come back to correct his mistakes or inadequacies. He is particularly impolite to women, especially elderly ones. Be aware of this business and its services!!!!!!!!

Let me start off by saying that their work is quality and end result was good, hence the 2 stars. If you are willing to wait and get 3rd class service with a good price then I suggest going with them.
Kinslow smith is run by 1 person - Ed. Ed is never available by phone. He has hired someone to answer his calls,Nancy, and email him with appointments and questions. I saw an amazon deal online and called before I purchased to see if I really needed to get it since most places honor the price with out groupon/amazonlocal purchase. I needed my chandelier installed with a new electrical source and Nancy set up a next day estimate with Ed. He was great and on time and promised us to get it done before Christmas with all work done by him only. On the day of his appointment he just never showed. No one picked up, we waited and waited. At last Nancy texted me 1 hour PAST my appointment slot saying Ed is sick and he won't be showing up. Why couldn't he just call me and tell me PRIOR to my appointment? So then the next 2 days I waited for someone to call me back and reschedule (even though I did not want to give them a second chance for such poor customer service but my husband wanted to use him bc of his prices). NO CALL BACK.
I called and called until I reached Nancy who rescheduled me and states she cannot apologize on his behalf. I told Nancy to have Ed call me personally...he never did. The day of our second appointment Nancy stopped picking up. I googled Ed's cell and he told me he was running a half hour behind...fine. Just tell me!!! Ends up he came with 2 other guys we never met and then Ed LEFT for the whole time. These 2 guys were training and he just left them. I was told only Ed would be doing my work. Luckily my chandelier is up and I am happy with the clean up afterwards.
Long story short, I personally would not recommend Kinslow Smith. Poor customer service in 2013 does not fly...may be 10 years ago it did.
