I woke up to half my house having no power. I called ComEd and a couple of electricians to see what I should do. Patrick called me right back and gave me a lot of advice to make sure he would not need to come out needlessly and cost me more money. I did ask him to come, and he did a great job getting the power back running. I would definitely hire Patrick again.

Wally, the owner of upgrade electric is one of the rare, reputable, reliable and decent electricians out there. Okay, maybe I'm being too hard on the industry, but it's hard to find honest and reliable plumbers, electricians, & contractors, IMHO, and Wally and Upgrade Electric are definitely a rare good option. We've worked with them on two houses we've owned in the last 10 years and Wally has done work for my in-laws prior to that - and it's always been good work.

John rewired my entire house earlier this year and was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He did a great job updating my 1914 home, helped me problem solve throughout the process, was accommodating of some twists and turns in the project, and is just a good guy in general. I was happy to have chosen him from the several electricians I had bid on the job.

We needed to have a 52-inch fan installed on a 17-foot ceiling.  I called 5 electricians that had been recommended by the place from where we purchased the fan (Menards). Three of the 5 quoted prices $400 and up.  One wouldn't take the job because he didn't have ladders tall enough.  But Jeff Schimanski charged significantly less than the others. He took the old fan down and installed the new one, and he did a great job.  I highly recommend Jeff!

He was a great electrician! He is no longer in business but I sure wish he were. I miss this business!

When I bought my condo, all of the light fixtures were the original.  I contacted BUE via Facebook and worked with Mo.  He came out to my place the next day and replaced both bathroom light fixtures as well as a chandelier in the dining area.   He was so great to deal with - very professional and friendly.  The price was great, but the service was exceptional.  He worked with my schedule and came after 6pm to do this work.  

I need some pendants hung in my kitchen and I will be hiring BUE.  I can't recommend enough!

Great reliable service. We had recently sold our home and needed some work done to the wiring in the garage and the electrical outlets in the kitchen needed to be replaced. Luis came out and gave me a estimate and the job was done the next day. Very pleased with their workmanship and knowledge. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing electrical work done.

We utilized Alex and Loren for our large basement finishing project and couldn't be happier. We had approx 1,000 sq feet of unfinished basement space and needed framing, plumbing (added a new bathroom with shower), electrical, hvac, doors hung, and drywall with finishing. He showed up on time every day and maintained excellent communication throughout our project duration. He was friendly, professional, and courteous. It seems he is a perfectionist by nature, always looking at the little details. He cleaned up after himself and was very cooperative on last minute job requests. I would HIGHLY recommend Swanson's Home Preservation for all your building needs. You won't regret it.

I've used Bob and his guys for the last 2 years of my ongoing home renovation. They are professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy and the service level is great. I chose them because my previous electrician was failing to get back to me and I have not looked back.

I got Mr Dragovic's  company name and number along with a few other referrals  from Menards. I'm  ery glad I picked him.

A small metal ruler accidentally fell onto  the power strip surge protector just as I was unplugging my cell charger in the wee hours of the morning. Sparks flew out of the surge protector and the metal ruler melted in 2 places. The surge protector had burn marks too.

I was thankful I wasnt injured. My power went off everywhere. I was really scared and the next day had a neighbor fiddle around with the circuit breaker. They couldn't figure it out.
I had no idea what was damaged or how bad the problem was going to be. I was worried about the state of my expensive TV and my electric recliner chair...

Mr. Dragovic answered my phone call right away. He actual tried to help me over the phone to see if I could fix my own circuit breaker problem and to save me the cost of the service call.
Some people I think may not have tried to help me on the phone.
I was so upset and worried  at that moment  I just wanted him to come over.  

He made it to my place in less than 30 minutes. I was surprised he was able to come over pretty quickly the same day, late monday afternoon.
I was thinking I would have to wait until the next day to get any service!

He was wore a mask. He was very pleasant, personable and professional- as well as knowledgable.

He was right, there was a little sequence that needed to be performed in a certain way in  the circuit breaker and it was not obvious.  It was a little tricky.  
(Perhaps if I had been calmer and  in a better state of mind, he might have been able to  help me on the phone. I think it is commendable that he wanted to try to help me without having a service call!)

He looked at the circuit box and  got the power on right away, very quickly. He showed me exactly what to do if it ever happened again.

He didnt try to replace anything that didnt need repairing just to take advantage of the situation. (Being female and pretty unfamiliar with electric work he could have replaced the whole circuit breaker and charged me whatever...
I was prepared for the worst...)

He was a good guy and was very honest.
I will definitely use his services if I need an electrician for anything in the future.

It was refreshing to have a service person of any type who was honest and caring.
I  highly recommend you give him a try.

I'm so glad i found Victor! What a great job. Perfectly run family business. He was more than professional - he acted like a family member. For the estimate, I walked him through the home, showing him all of the minor projects I needed done, in addition to re-wiring the lighting in my kids rooms. I explained to him that we were NOT handy, but he was extremely helpful and wrote little notes on things that we could do on our own, if we wanted.

My husband was skeptical, so he immediately asked Victor for his card and proof of license, which Victor promptly provided. By the end of the day, Victor was under the sink showing my husband how to hook up the ice machine!... not exactly his call of duty.

I will definitely call them back for future electrical needs and I would recommend them to anyone. I know that Victor has a team of workers, so I believe they can travel beyond the north shore.

Dealing with Miron is why Yelp is the place to find quality professionals. Very response and pleasant to deal with. Sebastian could not have done a better job tracking down multiple circuits that had shorted No question, I highly recommend dealing with Mrron.

Ron and his assistant did really good job. He installed four pendant lights and chandelier. They got covers to cover area where they worked, which was really good. They kept all areas clean after finishing work. Quotes were good as compared to others. I would definitely recommend them.

Dave was a pleasure to work with!  very responsive, quality work, at a fair price!  He replaced our circuit breaker when we needed... thank you!!

Professional and quality service for electrical needs. All at a price to fit our budget.
