Best Residential Services in Chicago IL

Wow, fast response, easy communication and great work. Replaced an old bathroom fan that to me seemed a little tricky to get old one out and new one to fit. Stefan did it in 45 minutes. Arrived on time, work quietly and quickly. Going to have him do a light fixture too.  Thank you. Highly recommend him.

Called Friday night with an electrical issue and they showed up within an hour to fix the problem. Diagnosed the issue, replaced a bad wire and breaker, and explained the whole process. Great friendly guys, they know what they're doing.

Thanks T&D!! Our electrician,Keith, did a wonderful job. He arrived on time and quickly figured out the problem. He fixed it and took the time to explain it all to me. So professional and such a relief we picked the right electricians for our issue.

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+++

Called right before the holidays and Joe came out right away to Downers Grove! My wife wanted some can lights installed in the kitchen and in our laundry room. He has some great reviews and thats why I chose him.  Absolutely best electrician I've ever hired! He installed 4 can lights in my kitchen and 3 in my laundry room. Joe did a great job with everything, and took care of it in a day! Clean up was  minimal and I needed to do a little patching & painting, but all was ready for Xmas day entertaining. I will be doing about 8 more can lights and a dimmer in my living room shortly and there is no doubt he's doing that! His prices are fair and his work was great! I'm been afraid to write a review because people will steal him and he will be so busy that he won't have time! Great Problems to have! Thanks Joe

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

I have used them a few times when I moved a sauna to a new home. The y did a great job taking it apart and putting it back together. I would definitely use them for any project.

All around great first time experience. I called on a cold snowy night and the owner had someone (Leeroy) out to me within a couple of hours. Leeroy was great, and fixed my issue with my outdoor GFCI outlet almost instantly. So thankful to have a great electrician in my phonebook now!

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

If you have electrical issues, call now! We had some old, outdated lights out on our patio that got really hot and looked like a hazard. Highlights was able to come out right away and remove them quickly and update our exterior outlets to keep everything up to code. Additionally, they made some recommendations on how to make our outdoor electrical situation more safe (I'll call you guys soon to do that!). All in all a great experience, but WAIT! Our irrigation system wasn't working and I thought something electrical had been goofed up in the first process. I was so wrong... instead it was an errant husband out poking around, flipping switches, plugging and unplugging things. When Highlights responded to my SOS, they were so patient as they flipped the exterior switch to on and handed me the plug. Embarrassing. So embarrassing. But these guys make everything painless and didn't even chuckle - which is self-control than I would have had if things were reversed. Thanks so much - we'll call for future jobs as I'm sure there will be many in this circa-1921 building!

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

A great experience!

Jose from Tweaks & Finishes was very quick to reply to communications and then to submit his bid.

He priced the job very competitively, scheduled it for later that day, arrived a few minutes early.

He unpacked and installed the fixture correctly, carefully, and even requested my confirmation of approval (placement, pendant light height, etc.) at each step.

He worked cleanly, fast, was 100% competent, and very friendly the whole time.

No surprises or disappointments.

Really an exceptional experience.

Recently used Urban Power to have third panel installed at my 2 flat in Logan Square and the needed infrastructure installed to house a new third meter.  I found Jake to be easy to work with. I feel all work was completed satisfactorily and in a timely manner.  I also felt the pricing was fair compared to other quotes I received.  I felt some of the other quotes I received, the companies were trying to over sell me.  Jake quoted the proper materials need to get the job done.  I would gladly use Jake again in the future and recommend him.

Neville is truly a one-of-a-kind electrician. He's humble, transparent, responsive, and efficient with his work and approach. A combination of qualities that's so often hard to find.

No job is too big or small. From addressing significant wiring issues in older homes, to replacing faulty outlets, he's the specialist to count on.

Can't recommend him enough!!

Doug and Carlos just installed 4 inch can lights in the living room of my new house, and the room looks terrific - a vast improvement!  Doug and Carlos were on time, very professional, did a great job - just great guys.  They moved the furniture for me and cleaned up afterwards - couldn't even tell that they had been there, except for the beautiful new lights.  

Can't recommend them enough.

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.

Had a short in my house that knocked out the power to my office. Alltown Electric was able to help out almost immediately. Kieran did a fantastic job in almost no time when he arrived. These guys are amazing and professional, and do great work. Thanks!

Mike from Advance did an excellent job. I called, he came by to provide a quote. I hired him and when he did the job it was clean, priced as quoted with no surprises and ahead of schedule. I will definitely use him again.
