Best in Chicago IL

The correspondence between company and customer was excellent. However, the appointment was cancelled by the company 2 hours before service time. PTO was processed and taken for this particular service, making this disruption massive and unprofessional. Would not be able to be a judge of quality of service, but reliability is a major problem.

Steve is the electrical contractor you are looking for! Quick response time, friendly, knowledgeable and cleaned up. No surprises with pricing, what he quoted was what we paid. Will definitely use him for all future project's!

I was recommended to Duplex for my home electrical needs by a long-time friend who is an industrial electrician as the company my friend uses for his home needs. Greg and Steve at Duplex where terrific and fixed my complicated electrical issues in my old home.  I was impressed with their practical approach, as they explained what was needed for life safety and what was an optional fix if I wanted to save money.  They truly understand their craft and put customers first.  They are also extremely reliable with scheduling, which can be rare in the repair and maintenance industry. I highly recommend Duplex.

Art replaced four of my lamp posts outside and found a dead switch near my patio door. He also was able to troubleshoot why I had two dead outlets near my bathroom on first floor. Turns out the wire was connected to the two other bathrooms upstairs and that the old owner had some amateur connect all the gfci outlets to one bathroom. So when one trips, all bathroom outlets are out. Art was able to explain what happened and was able to fix and rewire the outlets. Also, he found a missing switch in the power box downstairs and had to put in a spare switch for safety. This is in case someone sticks their finger in by accident and gets shocked with very high electrical voltage or current. His price was competitive for a licensed electrician. He also has an amusing personality. Maybe he's a comedian?

Mike came to my house to diagnose a set of lights that was dim.  Embarrassingly, it was the result of a tiny dimmer on the switch that I didn't notice.  It's a new house for me and I hadn't realized it.  Mike quickly pointed it out and didn't charge me anything, since it was on his way.  Outstanding service will use these guys again for a real issue.

This is the 2nd time I've use this company.  I put a claim though the home warranty and the company they sent out told me my box needed to be replaced and the 2 main wires to the main had to be replaced.  Matt tested the wires and said the other company was inaccurate.   Saved me $800.  The warranty company wasn't going to pay to upgrade the wire.

Matt was in and out and I have reliable electricity for a life time.  I highly recommend them.

Robert was exceptionally awesome.
Called and got same day service.
Fast. Efficient. Cost effective. What more can you ask for on a hot day?

I have just bought an old house and was following up on inspection items. Jeff got to us quickly, educated me on things and helped me to determine the importance on different issues. He did the work independently, and came back when he said he would to complete the job. I was very happy with his work and his easy helpful manner, and will be having him back to swap out light fixtures and put in an exterior outlet.

I don't have enough good things to say about Safe Electrical and Charles!  They were prompt, responsive, and incredibly nice.  The lighting they installed looks fantastic, and they even finished ahead of schedule!

David got back to me via email on a Sunday, set up a time to see the issue and showed up right on time the next Monday.  His quote was quite fair and the work was amazing.  He walked me through all he needed to do and did all the work.  He cleaned up after himself and the electric in the house is now as good as the day it was when the home was built.  He fixed issues in 4 rooms that were in dire need.  I would recommend him highly to all that need electrical work done.

Highly recommend hiring Matt! He responded quickly and was able to schedule me for the day and time I requested. He assembled & hung a ceiling fan, mounted another light fixture, changed a few switches for us, and did it all with quality and professionalism. I would absolutely hire him again for future work in our home!

Highly recommend! Mike came by within an hour of me connecting with him to install an outlet for my EV. He explained the process and walked me through it step by step just so I'm aware. I was so impressed, I asked him to work on more electrical stuff around our condo and he's coming back to do those jobs.

I was very pleased with Randel Electric. Randel Electric did work for me over a holiday weekend. They showed up on time, fixed all my issues knowledgeably and quickly, and were very fairly priced.  It is hard to find dependable service professionals nowadays, but Randel was top-notch. I highly recommend.

Great service from Edwin and his crew!  

We had a potentially large electric problem with some lines from our house to our garage.  They were old, frayed and hanging low.  It was easy to set up getting a quote from Edwin though the Yelp site.  He responded very quickly and arrived on time at the appointed time.  He diagnosed the problem and provided a quote via email.  I accepted his proposal and he let me know when he was available to come and do the work.

He arrived on time, on the scheduled day.  It was a big job which included taking down the old wiring and, digging a trench and sending all new wiring out to the detached garage.  Since the home and garage are both over 100 years old, diagnosing our wiring is like a million piece jigsaw puzzle. Edwin did a great job and everything works great!  He even did a great job to not disturb the landscaping.  You can't even tell that there was a trench dug.

Highly recommend!

I would be very careful before taking this electrician's advice.

I had an odd odor in my kitchen I wanted investigated, as I was concerned that this might mean I was having an electrical problem and at risk of a fire.  

I called Homer and he was prompt and courteous in arriving for our estimate/appointment.  

I then experienced the most noxious bait-and-switch experience I've had with a technician in a long time.  He intentionally used overly technical language and I felt like I was with a used car salesman trying to sell me rustproof undercoating.  

Homer exited my kitchen almost immediately, going to my panel box on a completely different floor and explaining all the different ways that my electrical system wasn't wired correctly.   This was very confusing to me- since all the electrical in my house was newly installed 3 years ago by a contractor I know personally who is an electrician, and my house passed inspection.  

Homer cited a few minor issues such as a few connections being double-tapped, and the box being incorrectly installed which apparently would put it at risk of fire, and the wrong screws being used.  He blew up these minor issues into a huge problem that, apparently, was putting me at imminent risk of a fire and would require him to re-wire the whole box for $500.  EXCEPT he wasn't available until almost a week later and never advised me to turn off the breaker for the area of the house where the issue was (the kitchen)- so how big of a risk was it, in his mind?? AND, mind you, he never explained why I would get a smell in the kitchen.

Next, Homer  furthermore stated my 200 amp box wasn't being properly serviced by a 100 amp line from ComEd, and this was dangerous and he needed to fix it and would work to get the necessary permits.  Look- I know my house wasn't updated to code, but when he said this job would cost $2,000-2,500. I almost fell off my chair.  Obviously if this was a major problem, my house would not have passed inspection and I would have chronic electrical issues in my home, which I do not. PLUS, he said it would be OK to wait until Spring when I could save up for it- so, again, how urgent is the issue???

I had trouble sleeping that night, worrying about how imperative these supposed necessary safety issues were, and concerned about cost.

Thank God common sense prevailed and I contacted another electrician- someone HONEST, thank goodness- who came out the next day and thoroughly inspected my house for 90 minutes.  He explained the double-tapping issue was minor and didn't need correction; he didn't feel the foreign screws were anything to be concerned about; he covered a very minor hole in the electrical box at no cost to reduce moisture intrusion; he inspected every single outlet in the kitchen (and hypothesized since they were all in excellent working order that perhaps the GFI circuitry was about to fail and could account for the occasional smell); yes my box was a 200 amp but so was the external wire; the 100 amp Com-Ed wire needn't be a major issue unless I'm trying to sell the house (as this is technically a code violation, but not a safety concern since there's no way I'm using anywhere near 100 amps of power at one time), etc. etc.  

I paid him for his time and promptly cancelled my follow up appt with Homer.  Who, by the way does not appear to be a licensed electrician- a fact you can easily check for yourself here: webapps1.cityofchicago.o…  

If you want to work with a dishonest cheat who treats women like idiots and uses fear to try to sell unnecessary goods and services, well you know who to call.  His number is above.

In Chicago, it is difficult to find a service as good as HandiCo Inc..  I had heat coils & cable put in on 2 roofs. They put in an exterior power source for one roof  The job was done in less than 4.5 hours. I couldn't be more pleased with their work!

Matt did the estimate. Andy and Deman did the work. The staff was on time, polite and the work is very professional.  This is the 2nd time I have used this service and will continue to do so.

My 74 year old sister said, This is how folks used to work, just plain professionals.

Can't say enough good things about these guys, they were always honest, did the job quickly, they were on time and most importantly professional.  Thank you again for fixing our garage.

Every month I get a call from them- they did work for us over 10 years ago. I ask to be taken off the list and yet they still keep calling. After dealing with that I would never use them

Angel is fantastic! I'd recommend him for all of your electrical needs.  He was quick to respond, professional and honest.  Had a faulty track light in our kitchen which he managed to teach me about and fix in no time.  Excellent service!

Came out the same day as contacted. Very courteous and friendly. The first tech didn't have equipment sufficient for the job. They were very quick to make a follow up appointment the next day to get the situation handled. Would recommend.
