We bought a new dryer that was causing an electrical fuse to blow whenever we used it. I called PB Electrical Services and they came right away, diagnosed the issue as needing a new circuit breaker, and fixed it same day. Great service and I'll definitely use them for future electrical needs!

Don't not use this electrician.  Dishonest and lied about services.  Total scam artists.  I first called and they said they would charge $49 for travel fee and troubleshooting.   When the electrician came,  he didn't come and even look at the circuit board.  No trouble shooting done.  Instead he came there to just say he  will charge $300 for any kind of service he will do (different from my phone conversation )-  why didn't you reveal all this during our phone conversation?  Repeat DO NOT USE THIS ELECTRICIAN!  

The electrician was very unprofessional and was arguing what  happen if it's a complicated job,  it's $300!  I said , what happen if it's an EASY job,  and it's $300?!!!   As mentioned,  when I talk to the lady over the phone,  they said they charge differently for different services.   However ,  this cheating electrician want to charge over $300 for not even taking a look at the circuit board.  Very dishonest, rude, and not upfront with their pricing .  DO NOT USE.

I've not received any incentives to write this review.

Excel did amazing work. They were focused, efficient, flexible, neat, courteous and very affordable. Minor corrections/modifications were addressed immediately and to our complete satisfaction. I was most impressed by how Omar and his crew worked with us in the planning stages. They listened closely, offered solid advice and did quality work. We'll be calling them again as we do more.

Highly recommended from a fairly critical and cautious homeowner.

I came in and I'm Hispanic he cussed at me and called me a Spic that he doesn't need my business and my money is no good here he also had a gun and has a threatening demeanor

Best electricians I've worked with, hands down. They did great work, promptly, and with care for design and space. Not only were they best bid I'd received, but they did the work in half the time that anybody else had said would be needed.

The epitome of customer service.  Frank Perlongo is good, no great, and performs work as though it was being performed on his own home.

About a month ago I moved into a studio in Logan Square, and from the time I previewed the apartment to the time I moved in, the ceiling light had lost power. There was a horrible noise every time I tried to turn on the light and I definitely felt a little shock go through my system. After complaining to the building management and waiting almost three weeks with no contact, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
After calling around and being given wait times of about a week before an electrician could come out to even look at my place, John promptly told me he could be there the next day. He showed up on time, listened to my concerns, and immediately got to work. By taking the situation and my preferences into account, John was able to have my problem fixed in under an hour with minimal mess and absolutely no fuss. It was outstanding! I have never received this kind of service before! Hopefully I won't be needing any electrical work done any time soon, but if I do, I'm definitely calling John again!

This is a past due review. Mike, one of the owners, was the one who came. He was so patient and understanding knowing that I had to call for a service at my condo on a weekend, then suddenly learning that our building maintenance did not leave the ceiling door open. Mike was so considerate enough that we just rescheduled for the next day. He was able to fix the issue and was very helpful. He reassured me that he can be reached if I would have any other issues afterwards. Its been 2 weeks already and things are running just fine. I definitely recommend ServiceMax.

Called on a Friday afternoon and they showed up a couple hours later. They corrected violations caught by a house inspector. Price was very fair. Would definitely use again and recommend to others.

My new home was in need of a ton of new lighting and electrical work. When Jonathan came out to give his estimate, I knew he was the right guy for the job for many reasons. He was communicative, thorough, and very knowledgeable. I had a pretty clear vision for what I wanted, so he listened and made sure he understood every detail to get the project done right. There were also a few areas where I was uncertain and he provided me with some really awesome options that ended turning out even better than I could have imagined. Jonathan is a real pro and he will definitely be my go-to for any electrical needs.

Our Generac whole house generator failed to come on during a multi-hour power outage on a Sunday morning. The Generac support line recommended AL Electric as the closest dealer. Andrey picked up the phone after two rings, came out within an hour, and had our generator running within 2 minutes. (The generator had an error code that required dealer service.) His charge for an emergency visit on a Sunday morning was very reasonable and he will be coming back later in the week to do full maintenance on the unit. As the Generac support person said, you need to have a dealer do maintenance on it yearly so AL Electric will be our regular service. Andrey is also very friendly and knowledgeable.

Our Condo building uses ABS Electric for our common area electrical repairs and equipment replacement.  Have not had a job they could not do.
My wife and I had used them in the past in our condo unit for a chandelier move and adding a couple of dimmer switches.  All went well.
Today we used them to add two ceiling can lights with dimmer switches and rough out a wall in our bedroom so we could add an electric fireplace.  More work then I imagined but they tackled the job of moving conduit pipes that where there, adding a junction box and another  two outlets. Brian and Jason were on time, worked hard, did a couple of great installations and left the area neat and clean.I thought the price was fair. I feel comfortable recommending ABS Electric to my condo neighbors.

I highly recommend In Town Electric for quality professional work at a reasonable cost. I recently wanted to upgrade my 2 service panels and other various outlets and fixtures. All the work was done professionally on schedule and on budget. The final invoice matched the quote so there are no $ surprises at the end.  This is my second time using In Town and I will definitely use them again if the need arises. They are very responsible and reliable.

THE BEST!    

We can't say enough good things about David Patterson.  He does outstanding work, is incredibly responsive and helpful, and is a pleasure to work with.

David integrated a complete landscape lighting/electrical system into our new patio/landscaping project. We had no experience with this type/scale of project and David patiently explained every step of the process, answered all of our questions, and was always brimming with great ideas.  He is fabulously knowledgeable, his guidance was spot on, and we are extremely pleased with how everything turned out.

In addition to being so helpful, David was the quintessential professional.  He was responsive, reliable, flexible, efficient, clean, and friendly.  

David also went over and above our expectations in many different ways; like emailing us pictures during construction to document the underground wiring; like making lawn trenches and wires disappear; like leaving the place cleaner than he found it; like re-planting a 100 lb. boxwood that needed moving; like making sure he was present every time the city inspector stopped by; like spending hours in the hot sun chiseling through cement to re-install conduit and wiring that was damaged by a different contractor.  

David has also installed several interior switches and outlets in our home, as well as spent a great deal of time with us investigating and discussing potential future projects.  No matter how small or big the job, David always brings his signature blend of helpful attitude and creative suggestions ensuring the best possible solution for your home, and an enjoyable experience for you.

We highly recommend David for any type of electrical project.

Sal was great.  We had a chandelier to hang here in West Rogers Park and he was over in under an hour after calling out of the blue on a Saturday.  He also rotated another chandelier several degrees in another room for no extra cost.  He was very enthusiastic and good to work with.

Our experience has been horrible.

It started off well and the Electricians are nice people however, management makes them come on their times only and not the time agreed or stated.  Several weeks would go by because they had bigger projects to work on and they told us they were busy and wouldn't even get something on the calendar for us....?

We finally got something on the calendar to finish off our work....the job finally got completed....We had work done to our home to update our electricity to a new breaker box.

A few weeks later we switched a couple switches to off and they wouldn't turn back on....one of these switches controlled our Thermostat in the middle of 28 degree weather....our home is an ice box....  I called early in the morning and the answer I got was we don't know when we can get someone out....we'll try ASAP once their current jobs are completed.  No expected lead time....nothing.....

The service is absolutely nuts...

My wife and I have been talking about getting an EV car for the last few years when it came time to replace her car. As a result, I wanted to ensure we have a safe place to charge it. Therefore, we needed a Level 2 charger. I talked to some EV owners, and they all recommended a NEMA 14-50, 50 amp outlet installed in the garage.

Here comes Shock Tech 2. I used Yelp to ask him about a quote. He responded very quickly and asked for some information about the house. We talked about the location of the house, and he was able to give a quote based on the house and some pictures I sent regarding the panel, the path to the location, and the location itself. I liked this approach since I contacted other companies who, either, didn't respond or claimed they had no openings soon for a quote. I also liked how Shock Tech 2 kept in constant contact such as letting me know he is on the way. I've had companies in the past now show up at all after I took the time to take time off of work. From the start to finish, Jaime/Shock Tech was courteous, and professional.

On the day of installation, he was very professional. Got some cloth to protect the floor. He asked if our pets were allowed in the basement or not so he was kind to close the basement door behind him. There was no mess and he ensured everything was clean afterward. Not to mention, he found an issue with my electrical panel which he fixed too.

In the end, the quote was exactly what he asked. Compared to others, his quote was within the average price, but the quality was second to none. I had some quotes to add a bunch of, possibly, unnecessary wiring. His installation was simple and straight to the point. Also, he installed a breaker/emergency off switch next to the outlet, which was not mentioned in the other quotes. Therefore, his quote was actually more reasonable than others. My wife and I have other electrical plans for the house, and Shock Tech 2 will be getting all my business and recommendations to family/friends.

I love Don. He will give you an honest price and do an honest job. In my book, it doesn't get better than that.

Our door was forced open and the frame was damaged.  Al came over and fixed it to where you could barely tell it had been broken.  It was quick and reasonably priced.  I plan to use this company again for other projects we have.
