Best Ceiling Light Repair in Chicago IL

A+ work on my condo! We had some wiring issues and our lights in our kitchen would never turn on fully. We reached out to AC/DC and they responded in a timely manner and were also very friendly. You can tell they are trying to save you money, while fixing the issues and aren't like companies that are just looking for a quick buck. They fixed our kitchen wiring and now I can see while I'm cooking again! They also looked at a few things in the bathroom while they were here and were looking forward to having them come back. Thanks so much!!!

I was selling my condo and the home inspector found that my fuse box had corrosion on some of the fuses and what looked like rust on the bottom of the fuse box itself. I called around and got some quotes for the worst case scenario of replacing the entire fuse box. Marcus was up front that it would be very expensive to replace the whole box but he wanted to look at it before he quoted me. He came over and told me that all it was was dirt on the bottom of the fuse box. He whipped it down real quick and replaced the corroded old fuses. In and out, the job was down in less than hour and that included running up to the nearest part store to get the fuses. He charged me just the hour and the cost of the fuses, extremely fair. Highly recommend T&D!

Very kind and polite she got in touch with me to let me know that he doesn't service my area Someone like him I suppose is very good professional.

While trying to install a new lighting fixture in the basement of our 1920s home, we encountered some truly baffling issues that, among other things, affected the outlets in our living room upstairs. After trying to troubleshoot the issue every way we knew how, we consulted Yelp to see if there was an electrician nearby who might be able to sort things out for us.

After reading the glowing reviews of Ryan Electrical Power and Lighting, it was an easy decision. Ryan responded to my request almost immediately and was at our home in Oak Park within an hour.

As we expected, our electrical issues weren't exactly straightforward but Ryan took his time to locate and remedy the problem and, in the process, eased our concerns about the safety and longevity of our wiring.

Ryan was extremely professional and courteous (he chatted with my dad and explained everything he was doing every step of the way so we know what to be on the lookout for in the future) and his rates were really fair. (When we inquired about the possibility of installing our new Nest Thermostat, he even recommended that we just call an HVAC professional who would probably charge us less!)

While we hope we don't have any electrical/wiring issues in the near future, we most certainly will call Ryan first if anything comes up!

I've used Highlights Chicago twice now, once for a ceiling fan installation, and again for some pendant lights--they were super responsive and were able to send out someone to help within 24hrs.

I had the same technician both times and he was speedy, knowledgeable, and in the case of the pendant lights ended up figuring out an install solution that saved us a ton of time and money: can't recommend Highlights enough.

Neville was great to work with, and is an extremely friendly guy.  As others have noted, all communication is via text.  Initial texts were a little sporadic, but I believe he was actually at a job.  (I can be a little impatient, and that's on me.)  However, it was never more than a few hours between texts.  And as his scheduled visit got closer, there were definitely more frequent texts.  He arrived during his timeslot and got everything done in under an hour.  

I wanted an old hardwired light turned into an outlet instead.  He had to cut through some drywall to make that happen, and was incredibly clean about that process, even to the point where he insisted that he use our vacuum to clean up after himself.  The job took less than an hour, cost exactly what he had estimated, and I would definitely consider him again for any future electrical work around our condo.

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.

I needed the circuit panel in my house replaced and Victor gave me a good quote and was available very quickly. I would recommend him again though I gave 4 stars because the drywall around the circuit box is a bit rough and could have been done a bit cleaner than the finished product. Still clearly knew what needed to be done and is an affable guy.

Professional - friendly - just overall awesome electrician.  He only works in Hyde Park however - but as long as I live here, he'll be our go to electrician.  We had a short in our electrical line due to some rust and water - shorted out our gate, intercom and lighting.  Peter quickly diagnosed the issue - was able to schedule the next day for us and charged us a reasonable rate.  He noticed a couple of other issues while doing the work and promptly provided a quote on the follow up work.  Top notch professional - great guy - can't say enough positive things about him.

I called to get a ballpark idea of what it would cost for to install a 50 amp outlet for an electric car. I'm actually outside of Aardvark's range, but Frank took the time to walk me through everything I need to consider and gave me a range so I could budget. He is obviously very knowledgeable in his craft. More importantly, he's an honest person who took time out of his day to help me out when there was no financial gain for him. Only wish I could hire him.

Lucas and Maggie were great to work with.  I have done 2 remodels with different permits, LMV was the only contractor out of all the ones I have worked with who made sure that I was on top of my deadlines.  They helped with the permit process, as well as had recommendations on other issues I should address even though it was not in their scope.  BEST OF ALL I PASSED MY INSPECTIONS ON THE FIRST TRY!!! The only Contractor to pass rough and final's on the first attempt.  Highly recommended and I will be using them again!  Thanks guys!

Scott honored a quote he gave 2 years ago and his team cleaned up a mess of electric in my garage for a great value!! Thank you!! Would strongly recommend!

Very sad to leave this review. My request was to 1) replace a lighting fixture in the bathroom 2) troubleshoot the exhaust fan 3) to put in a microwave outlet over the range in the kitchen. He quoted me $285 for the work.

I chatted with Brian on the phone and he was very personable, straight-forward, and seemed to know what the job entailed. He said he needed to make an initial appointment to assess what tools he would need (for which he wanted $100) and then another appointment would be made a few days later (for which he wanted $185).

He came for the initial appointment, and during the second appointment - he installed an outlet for the microwave by putting a wall outlet BELOW the cabinets in the kitchen. I was not there to supervise his work, and intuition tells me that the previous ones I've seen are INSIDE the cabinet. When I was sent the photo of his work, I thought that didn't seem correct, but I assumed that he was the professional and knew what he was doing.

After this second appointment, he asked me which light fixture in the bathroom needed to be changed and said he needed a ladder for the bathroom light fixture and had to make a third appointment to install it. He also said it would be an addition $75 for the exhaust fan. I'm not sure why these issues were not brought up after the first visit.

For the third appointment, we had scheduled him and when the day came, he said he had a different day on his calendar, which did not work for us, so we had to schedule another day. During this time, a contractor saw his electrical work and said the microwave outlet was WRONG. To verify I sent the photo of the microwave outlet to an appliance installer and he said it was extremely wrong and that any professional electrician should know that the outlet goes INSIDE the cabinet. The contractor quoted me $325 to fix Brian's work.

My husband called Brian to tell him to not come for the third appointment, since we felt like we no longer trusted his work. To his credit, he said he would come and fix the microwave outlet and rectify his mistake, but my husband and I told him we were concerned that he did it so wrong the first time. We didn't want him to do any further work. My husband requested a refund and said we would post a 1 star review if we were not refunded. Brian blamed the mistake on the fact that we were not there to supervise his work (my tenant / friend let him in). Brian said he did not appreciate the threat, was very short with my husband and hung up the phone on him.

This is not written to be vindictive or to cheat someone out of money. Far from it. The job was done incorrectly. He was not prepared to complete the job within two visits as first quoted. He did not clarify the appropriate questions after the first visit and wasted his time and ours by having to schedule a third appointment. He did not own his accountability in his mistake and was not willing to be an honest businessperson and refund a dissatisfied customer in a job that was done extremely wrong.

I hadn't previously googled over the range microwave outlet before hiring Brian. I didn't assume that hiring a professional would require me to Google and send the professional a diagram of exactly what to do, but I found zero images of microwave outlets that were what Brian did.

I wanted to work with Brian due to his positive reviews and positive record of work, but this was a very negative experience. I'm currently working with a number of contractors who do not have these issues of incomplete, wrong work, lack of preparedness, and lack of courteousness. It makes me very sad to write this review, but the fact is this job was handled very poorly.

Twice Penco has been able to come out the same day to help us with electrical problems. The first time we had no power after a winter storm and called about 5 electricians before finding Penco who was available to help us that day. They sent a manager over very quickly to assess the damage and then an electrician later that day to do the repairs. We asked about the hours charged on the invoice and they corrected it right away. Very friendly and professional service in the office and in the field.

I needed a faucet replaced in my kitchen. Chris answered my initial call quickly and communicated everything I needed to know. I got the quote quickly after and was able to schedule something the same day.

He was in communication the day of the installation and picked up a faucet for installation without the need for me to do anything.

The installation was quick and efficient. I'm 100% satisfied with the service and will use definitely use Chris again for my next job.

Don has been doing all mine, and my family's electrical work for the past 20 years. He has done everything from putting in a dimmer to a new breaker box at my home. He has also designed and installed all the electrical when we opened our restaurant.

I wouldn't trust anyone else to do electrical work for me in Il. Don has saved us thousands, over the years, by working smarter and harder.

I have never written a bad review: I hate posting this. My recent experience was so negative I feel responsible to share: After 4 years of trusting Safe Electric to be honest & fair with pricing and work quality, I now realize that the work they did in my home was sloppy, not done to prevailing best practices, and extremely overpriced.  I was a good reliable customer and deferred to Safe's advice for years; after all, Charles took advantage of my trust and way over-estimated a large project which had to be completed by another electrician.
*** My advice: while SAFE ELECTRIC may be fine for routine things, if you are doing a larger job: get another estimate!! When I alerted the owner about my concern he just got mean, pushed back and became a bully!  I did not deserve the extra aggravation.
I have since worked with much more honest, decent, professional, creative, careful and SAFE local electricians.  
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PROJECT!

Dave helped fix a light fixture that didn't work and installed a breaker panel protector.  He was very professional from start to finish (a really nice guy), knew what he was doing and charged us a lot a less then other companies we got quotes from.  We will for sure use Dave again!!

An electrical outlet blew and burned a hole in our sofa.  A to Z made an appointment for the same afternoon (the afternoon before July 4th, came promptly, and fixed the outlet in a very short time.  Couldn't be better!

We made an appointment for an estimate and nobody showed up. I called and only received voicemail and nobody returned my calls. Based upon other more positive reviews, I was disappointed in the unprofessional treatment.
