Best Electrical Services in Chicago IL

Another great install.  He installed two bathroom fans an six recessed ceiling lights in the family room. Excellent work and very professional. Arrived on time and did the work on budget. Highly recommend their service.

I had a fixture changed needed at a rental property I own and reached out to 5 electricians and got zero responses....geez folks I know home improvement is bananas right now but seriously? Then I was referred to Darrell at Sims- not only did her respond immediately but he also followed up to schedule the work when he said he would- amazing huh?
He and his guys were on time, masked, efficient and generally speaking really good guys. He is now my go to person.

Called T&D to install motion lights for our dark walkway.  Rodrigo was on time, reviewed the projects and provided information and also suggested the type of device to install that would provide the most light.  We purchased the devices, called T&D and specifically requested that Rodrigo return.  He returned this morning on time and completed the job.  He was so nice and efficient.  Highly recommend T&D and Rodrigo!

Ted is the best, fit us into a very busy schedule and did great work as always.  Gets the job done quickly and right and at a great price.  Highly recommended A+++

Joe is still the absolute best electrician around! If you have an older home (ours are over 100+) and have knob and wire he will know how to take care of  it.  He's installed numerous ceiling fans, ran an outlet to directly behind our mounted tv to hid the cords and most recently added an additional breaker.  His pricing can't be beat and he's fast, trustworthy and all around good guy.  

In the future I plan on hiring him again to instal an electric power supply for our smart car - something he's getting more and more jobs doing as of late.

Don't hesitate to hire him!

Chris was AMAZING! He was super reliable and took such great care in my forever home. He has come back twice and each time he has exceeded my expectations and I've already given his info to many friends who could use some electrical work. He hung 3  huge chandeliers with care and even made one work that didn't come with the parts needed from the manufacturer. He then hung an additional 6 other lights and even changed all my lightbulbs so they matched in color!

He also came back and hung two tvs for me the second visit which I can assure you will not be his last!

Thank you Chris and team for amazing and fast service  and being such a great person overall!

Appreciate you and your team!  See you soon!

Had a problem with my washing machine overflowing. The guy came (we both wore masks, as required by Fixer thankfully) and was able to identity and fix the problem in under the expected time. Something having to do with hoses and pressure. He unscrewed the front of the washer; had never seen that before. Thankfully I won't need to replace the combined washer/dryer unit quiet yet! Will happily use again next time I need something like this.

We had issues with an outdoor outlet nuisance tripping during heavy rain, even after having a new cover installed.  Unfortunately this outlet shared a circuit with our bedroom and office outlets, so the tripping caused heavy disruption.   It was particularly bad very early one morning after a stormy night, which left me scrambling at 7:15am trying to find an electrician.  Greenline answered immediately and was able to come out later that afternoon.  After some troubleshooting and exploratory work, the recommendation was to put the GCFI outlet on a dedicated circuit to prevent further disruption.  They came back the next day and did so quickly and efficiently, and even replaced the cover with a more durable one.  They also thoughtfully replaced our old and worn bedroom light switches and a scarred outlet for free - I really appreciated their thoughtfulness here.  They did all this for a very reasonable price and were easy to work with and communicative every step of the way.  I highly recommend them if you need any electrical work done!

After removing a fixture we lost power on our entire second floor. It was well beyond y capability as we are in an older house.

I tried several electricians and since it was a weekend nobody responded, even several days after I called.

Ryan picked up and was at my home working on the issue, which was complex, within 2 hours.  He was able to fix our issue and get things working again while also installing the new fixture.

I'd recommend Ryan for any electrical need

They came back with a quote quickly and were able to schedule the work within a couple of days. They replaced all of the cabling from the supply, moved the meter, grounded everything properly, and even fixed a couple of outlets. Really great to work with and quality work. Highly recommended.

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

These guys are great! They were referred to us and they are great for all kinds of jobs. We originally used them for various electrical work such as changing and updating electrical boxes, to light fixtures, to moving, replacing and rerouting outlets and switches. We were looking to knock out a wall in our kitchen and we had called them for the electrical part of it and turns out they were able to do the carpentry work as well!!  We had them come and see the space and they were very respectful of our belongings. Covered everything super nicely and helped us move some of the things they were afraid could possibly get damaged. Very trust worthy, we left them alone in our home for 90% of the project, and they cleaned up after every time they came. They did a nice job painting the living room as well and all for a great price!! I would definitely recommend them!!

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.

I needed 2 outdoor fixtures installed and 4 outdoor recessed lights replaced (the recessed lights were very high - near the roof line).  Neville provided a reasonable estimate, very promptly. (Another highly recommended electrician never even bothered to respond, after 2 chasing emails.). Neville showed up on-time and got the job done on-budget.  I especially liked the great communication before he arrived.  I knew what to have ready, which saved a lot of headaches. I highly recommend Neville and Blacklite.

I had a problem that two other local electric companies couldn't fix - pulling wire up to a second floor laundry to turn a 20 amp outlet into a 30 amp outlet.  Well, one of them wanted to charge a small fortune to attempt it, and another said he didn't think it could be done.  Carlos came out with a helper, looked things over, and had me fixed up the same day.  He stopped by later with two cover plates to choose from, which he didn't even have to do, in my opinion.  Was super professional and friendly the whole time.  And the price I paid was reasonable.  

So it's not like I hope I have future electrical problems or anything, but if I do I'm never calling anyone else as long as I live in River Forest.

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.

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.

Noel came recommended through a colleague that couldn't start our job. Noel and his team did a great job installing new light fixtures ordered online and removing old fixtures and outdated ceiling fans. All of my communications with him were over the phone and text messages since we were unable to be there in person. We live in an uptown co-op with a very strict contractor policy which Noel was able to coordinate and navigate with. I would recommend this company and use them again for future electrician needs.

Called him 3 times.. over the course of 2 weeks.
He never got back to me. He may be a good electrician but his customer service sucks.
