Best Circuit Breaker Repair in Chicago IL

We bought an older property that needed a major electrical update and everything brought up to code. Stefan took his time and walked us through the entire process from start to finish. He was timely, polite, and very informative. His pricing was fair and fit our budget nicely. He was right on schedule and had everything done within a super convenient timeframe. We'll be sure to give him a call back for any of our future projects. I would highly recommend giving Stefan at AC/DC a call for any electrical needs!

Darrel responded quickly, was able to be at our place within the hour, and installed our Ring Floodlight in about thirty minutes.  We did not have a proper junction box installed by our building contractors so he was able to fix this for us.  No complaints - installed correctly and is working!

I was a little mystified and over my head rewiring some outlets in my condo rehab; one light circuit kept tripping a breaker. Based on these great Yelp reviews, I called Ted, and couldn't be more pleased with his service. He was at my door in Wheaton literally within an hour, and on short notice. Knowledgable and friendly, he showed me where I had miswired a plug, and offered some tips for future DIY wiring, all for a very reasonable rate. Highly recommended. Thanks, Ted.

Joe put in a 220 line for me which someone else said would be a problem. Joe figured it out and had the job completed in 2 hours. I definitely recommend him.

Chris is very responsive, honest and good at what he does. He is the person to call for quick and easy fixes - he says he specializes in service calls (installing light fixtures, troubleshooting things around your house). Definitely give him a call, he'll take care of your project quickly and professionally.

Received great and prompt service from Edward and Julio to install a nest doorbell that needed extra work than the simple install on the packaging. Julio was very respectful of the end cosmetics and worked with us on very professionally the project. Bonus points for mask wearing!

Highlights Chicago responded to my online inquiry for service within a few short hours, despite it being a Sunday. A technician was at our house and the dodgy outlet fixed within 24 hours of my initial request. Not only did they resolve the issue in a timely manner, they followed up with us later in the day to make sure we were happy with the work and had no follow up questions. Finally, the bill came in below the initial quote. This company clearly knows their work and has the professionalism and follow-through that customer dreams are made of. Highly recommend!

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

Would highly recommend. These guys worked around our schedule to get an emergency job done and handle a couple other fixes around our house. Will definitely be calling Tweaks & Finishes again in the future!

I hired Jake and Urban Power to add two electrical meters and relocate the circuit breakers out of the garden unit to a common area so all tenants could have access to them at my 3-Flat property.  He is a master of his craft and did a great job providing solutions to the issues I presented and working efficiently on the install and relocation as well as managing the permitting process with Com-Ed.  He has deep experience working with rental properties and gave me some great insights to add value to the property including installing security lighting which I hired him to do as well.  I would highly recommend Jake and Urban Power for any electrical job big or small.

We were very pleased with Blacklite Electric's service and would happily recommend them to friends.  We worked with Neville and he was very polite and professional.  We would use them again, if we have any other electrical problems.  I appreciated that he was able to come out the next day, provided a cost estimate as well as how much time the job would take.

Could not recommend a better electrician!

I had a desire to install ceiling recessed lights and ceiling fans in a few rooms for some time. After doing some research on Yelp, I found Tom and gave him a call. We were able to set up a in-person consultation soon after, where he walked me through the options for recessed LED lights (4in vs 6in) and spacing of said lights. We agreed on an overall plan and start date.

During the project, Tom and his men were timely, clean, and very efficient in their work. They carefully calculated and marked out the placement of the lights and fan on the ceiling in each room for my approval before starting to cut into the drywall. In the end, they had to cut into a surprisingly small amount of the drywall to put everything together. In the two places in each room that they did have to open up the wall, they carefully replaced the drywall, saving me from having to make any large patches before repainting.

I wanted to use a particular smart dimming switch (Brilliant), but it was backordered and did not arrive in time. Tom hooked up everything using temporary switches and came back later to finish the job once they arrived.

Overall, I would definitely use Tom and his men again! I have a couple other projects around the house I've been thinking of (electric car charger, exterior light, replacing track lighting with more recessed lights, etc.) and plan to use Tom for these projects in the future!

Ted changed out fixtures throughout our house, including a difficult chandelier in our dining room. He also fixed a hot outlet and looked at our garage electrical. He was on time, fairly priced, and did great work. We'll be using him again.

Highly recommended. Professional, thorough, and careful. They were able to come within the week, and came back a week later at my request due to a complication (with my house, not their work). Will hire again. Their fees are fair and reasonable.

Had Mike Verdone up grade my electric to my home. He was recommended to me by the village of Hillside. He is an honest guy did the work he said he was going to do, and at the price he said he was going to do it at. He always returned my phone calls , and explained in detail what he had to do , to bring my electric service up to village code. I was very happy with mike's work, and if I ever need any more electric work done he will be the first one I will call.

If i could give him 6 stars I would

Great job. Fast reply. Thorough and knowledgeable. Worked late to finish the job. Wore a proper mask throughout. Would hire again and recommend to others.

Frank installed an antique chandelier that we took from our previous house.  The chandelier was still in the moving box, and there were a few things missing--a chain, canopy, etc.
He quickly suggested a place in town that sell antique lighting fixtures and he took me there himself to get the right parts.  Frank was very thorough with the work--making sure everything looked right since it was a very old chandelier.  I would definitely recommend him.

Had a really great experience with 24/7. We had a (non emergency) shower cartridge change. They were super responsive to my quote request, gave us a very competitive rate, and came promptly on times they offered to come that same day.

After having other several bad plumbing experiences, we've felt taken advantage of by other plumbers.  We're very happy with our experience with 24/7 and will gladly give them our business again.

Quick service and installation of a tricky light fixture! Took two hours for a new chandelier, but that was with needing to do a little re-wiring. Professional and easy to work with!

LMV Electric was very responsive. Excellent communication. An electrician came by for a free estimate. They emailed me a written estimate, which allowed for two options. I accepted the estimate, and they scheduled the work. They had an opening in their schedule, and we were able to get the work done five days earlier. The work was done quickly, and workmanship is guaranteed for one year. I will call on them again, and would recommend.
