Best A/C Installation in Chicago IL

Stefan was at my house less than 30 minutes after I contacted him, and had the whole issue figured out and fixed in under an hour. Highly recommended!

Darrell and Timmy are experts in their field! Easy and fast response time! Darrell came within the hour from calling him and had evaluated and installed all new outlets and repaired the kitchen and living room lights. They are reliable and trustworthy sources in their field and even go above and beyond to assist with recommendations outside of their expertise (I.e drywall and roofers). They take the time to explain what the source of the problem is, solutions, and pricing. They double and triple check their work and leave the rooms cleaner than when they came! Plus, it helps that they are great company! I would 100% recommend this magnetic duo!

Quick service and very neat. Reasonable price for small job and responsive. Think that their responsiveness really stands out. Often tough to get an electrician out for small jobs.

Ted was great! He promptly responded to my initial inquiry and came out within days to install a new external outlet for us. He was nice, and on time, and most importantly he charged us an honest and reasonable price... unlike some other electricians we have hired. We will definitely be using him again for other projects! Highly recommend!

Joe is fantastic!  Joe did all this at our 80 year old house:
- replaced old ceiling fan with new ceiling fan/light fixture
- removed old track lighting and replaced with pendant lights
- installed chandelier
- installed can light and overhead light in kitchen
- replaced/repaired switches

Joe knows what he is doing and offered suggestions to improve our lighting ideas.  He dealt with the quirky wiring in our old house.  He was very responsive and worked quickly and cleanly.  Joe's prices are fair and reasonable.

I highly recommend Joe and will call him again if we have future electrical needs.

Christian was responsive and professional. He fixed the issue quickly and within 24 hours of requesting the quote on Yelp.

Katie and D'Angelo were total pros.  They wore booties to protect my flooring/carpet... they seemed to have every fix-it tool known to man and womankind.  Katie even has this intense infrared light leveler that was very cool.  

They hung an extremely large mirror over my couch and it looks awesome.  It makes the room.  And I never could have hung this mirror by myself.  

You guys only get five stars because Yelp doesn't allow 100.

Totally recommend if you're in need of any electrical jobs. Edward was great about providing a fair and accurate estimate. Esteban was on time, very professional and did a great job in installing our new living room light fixture. Job required him to move and center a new box on our sloped/vaulted ceilings. Also appreciated the follow-up call to make sure we were satisfied. Couldn't be happier!!!

I reached out to Ryan via yelp yesterday 6.16.2021 as I needed to add lighting to my basement area. I had previously request quotes from other companies but no one was able to come out for at least a month. Ryan was over to our home within a couple hours and ready to get to work right away. He provided great advice on a few other future project we have and did a great job adding a couple of additional lights to our basement/utility area.

Couldn't be happier with the work from Boz and the whole team at Highlights! Amazing!

- Came out same day for an estimate, with a VERY competitive bid (a couple 220 outlets in the garage, and a low voltage transformer for a Nest doorbell)
- Clearly laid out the costs, plan, turnaround time for the bid, got us on the calendar quickly
- Finished all the work in a day with two teams to tackle the two separate tasks at our place
- The team made sure everything was working well and that I was happy before they left.

DEFINITELY will be using them again for any further electrical work, and have already suggested them to a number of people.

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

After attempting to install a new light fixture myself I ran into an electrical road block.  Jose of Tweaks & Finishes responded promptly to my request for an estimate, and scheduled the service call for the same day!  Jose, accompanied by Rodney arrived on time, and treated me and my home with such care and respect.  Jose was extremely knowledgeable, and quickly diagnosed my electrical problem-explaining the issue(s) found along the way.  A quick replacement of a burnt out dimmer switch restored my lighting, and mended the mess I created. Jose and Rodney also cleaned up the wires behind my many wall switches which they found to be a safety hazard, and installed my new ceiling light-all at a reasonable price within my budget.  Both gentlemen were kind, professional, and mindful-cleaning up after any small mess that was made.  I am thankful to have found Tweaks & Finishes, I am looking forward to using them again in the future for a painting project. Many thanks to Jose and Rodney!

We have used Jake over the years for all of our electrical needs. He is absolutely amazing and always works incredibly hard and fast. If you are looking for surround sound, new canned lighting, rewiring or all of the above, he is 100% the man for the job!

Blacklite? Try BlackLIST. As in, I have blacklisted this firm without ever having communicated with anyone there-- which is the reason for the blackball. I had some electrical issues, I called them, left a detailed message AND followed it up with a text (which is evidently their preferred method of communication), and.. NO ONE called or texted back. No one.
Don't waste your time with this firm- they may not call you back at all.

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.

Wonderful communication and service from Frank and his father. We couldn't be happier with the installation of our lights, switches, and other necessary repairs. Would highly recommend them for your future home needs.

Pros: responsive, punctual, honest, respectful of my home, fair pricing
Cons: none found
Alex did a great job replacing a broken switch. He responded quickly to my initial request and was fast in communicating throughout the scheduling process. We are very happy with the quality of work.
We'll likely have to have most of our old wiring replaced and are looking forward to have Alex and his team back. Seems to be a newer company, and I'm glad we took a chance on them.

I guess I don't understand all the glowing reviews. I contacted them to check the lack of power to my dining room. I was told they would see me the next day at 9 am. Not only did they not show up, but after I called two hours later to inquire about whether they were coming or not, I didn't as much  receive a return call. This is beyond unprofessional. If they weren't interested in my business, they simply needed to say so. Instead, they wasted my time, when I could have had professionals, who take their business seriously, handle my issue.

Called to have a line run for our new pool. Mike was prompt, thorough, and his estimate was totally reasonable for the amount of work that his team had to do. With my many schedule changes he was super flexible throughout the whole process.

When can anyone say that a contractor was an absolute delight to work with!  I can, so much work to do in my money pit but at least I know I have an electrician going forward!
