Best Security System Installation 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!!!

Rodrigo at T&D Electrical was a total pro, and I will happily hire him again. Yesterday my HVAC contractor was on-site to install my new AC compressor, and they realized while they were there that the wiring they had wasn't long enough to reach from the electrical box on the side of the house to the compressor (there are several feet of deck under which the wiring had to stretch), so an electrician needed to custom-build conduit and wiring to stretch from the box to the compressor. I first called a previous electrician I had used on a separate job, but they were unavailable for the next several days, and I really wanted someone to come out and do the wiring work as soon as possible. I called T&D because they already had stellar reviews on both Angie's List and Yelp. I can't remember the person's name in the office I spoke to, but she was incredibly friendly and supportive. I gave her all my info and an explanation of the work needed to be done and sheepishly asked if someone could come out that same day. I braced myself for her to say the equivalent of Are you kidding me? No, we can't come out today. Are you crazy? However, she pleasantly put me on hold, and a few minutes later came back on the line to tell me one of her guys, Rodrigo, had a cancellation and would be at my house in about 90 minutes. I couldn't believe it. Rodrigo arrived ten minutes early, and was very friendly and careful in the house. I showed him to the area where the work was to be done, and with very little explanation from me, he knew exactly what he needed to do and was off to work. He built/constructed custom curved conduit for the three wires to run from the side of the electrical box up to the floor joists of my deck and back down to the power on the compressor. The conduit it securely fastened to the deck joists, and it looks perfect. The whole project took around an hour, and he was gone almost as quickly as he arrived. He and I settled up, he swiped my credit card, and left an invoice/receipt (which I appreciated...the previous electrician I used on a separate job did not ever send me a receipt, even after multiple inquiries). Lastly, the price was amazing!

So I reached out to this company through Yelp about a month ago.
At first they seemed quick to respond and willing to help but I still do not have a response for the work I wanted done.

A gentleman contacted me and asked a few questions and then gave me a time and date to come look at the house for estimates. He was late to the appoint by nearly an hour due to a car appointment running over longer than expected.

He gave me some solid advice saying to look into my internet provide to get the work installed (I did, but tried again with no luck). I did appreciate the recommendation. I thought it was sweet.

After researching my internet provider again. I texted that same gentleman about getting work done.
No response. I texted him again about 2 days later only to be given a number of someone else because he was out of town.

I called the number and left a voicemail only to be never contacted. You win some you lose some.

Spectacular Service.

I am so thankful I called Highlights. Boz, and his team - Oskar and Rolando were everything and more.

I called to get a second opinion on installing a sub panel to power radiant heating for my floors (requiring two additional dedicated 240v lines). Boz informed me that the right way to do this would be relocating my box in my unit (was in a community basement). I thought we were looking at a week+ lead time and probably would need to sell my left kidney.

The team was able to complete in two days of work, four days in total from the moment I called them. Pricing was reasonable and absolutely worth the work.

I will recommend Highlights and this crew all day, every day. Thank you, Boz, Rolando, and Oskar; truly appreciate each of you and the hard work.

I was inquiring about a bathroom remodel and Blacklite replied promptly with the services they provide. Thank you.

Victor came out and provided a reasonable estimate. A few days later he came back to install an outdoor 14-50 outlet for me so I could charge my EV. The work looked great and so far I've had no issues. Would use victor again in the future for other electrical needs.

Two problem with my past experience with the company
1. The estimates they quoted are so much higher than others.
2. The business owner is not open for price negotiation and seems very inpatient.

The good part is the technician Jose explains things in great details and is very patient when answering questions.

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!

I had an interesting project that I needed an electrician's expertise on.  I'm making my garage into a home gym and since it's detached, I would need more heating for the winter.  I wanted to place additional electric space heaters out there - but I didn't have sufficient wiring out there to support it.  Vilano Electric was able to walk me through all of my options and troubleshoot what he would be able to accomplish with me.  He adequately explained everything he was going to do and ensured I understood the work prior to starting.  He gave me an accurate estimate that I thought was fair and he was then able to finish the job in one day. He was also highly cautious about always wearing a mask.  I would highly recommend this company...and as a new homeowner, I will be going back to them with future projects.

I contacted Chris to help install an over-the-range microwave in an old kitchen with a lot of mounting, ventilation, and construction challenges. He called back promptly and provided a detailed, insightful plan based on the photos I sent him. We set up an appointment for just a couple days later. When he and Jaime arrived and inspected the space in person Chris suggested an alternate, less labor-intensive approach based on information I had overlooked. Excellent! Throughout the work, Chris was friendly, communicative, and happy to explain exactly what he was doing and why. There were various obstacles along the way which were purely old-building issues and the labor did run over the estimate in the quote. That being said, his work was absolutely top-notch. He solved difficult problems in clever ways and clearly took pride in doing things right. The microwave before this one had been installed by Abt (supposedly so service-oriented) and that job wasn't even close to the quality of work that Chris did.

My only reservation is that there were some significant punctuality problems. Chris and Jaime arrived 45 minutes late the first day and a be-right-back trip to Home Depot (10 minutes away) stretched almost an hour and a half, which led to the job needing another day. The second day they arrived almost two hours late due to car trouble (verified - they left the car running in front of my house for 4 hours b/c of battery problems). Not all of this was under their control and it wasn't a huge deal for me personally since I was off of work. But if I had to take off work or rearrange child care for a half day job that stretched into two full days... that's frustrating. Still, I'd give 4.5 stars if Yelp would let me. Chris did a very fine job and clearly cares about his work. I'll gladly reach out to him again and update my rating if the issues on this job were an anomaly.

I worked with Corey - his response time was extremely quick and was flexible with his schedule. We had a chandelier that needed to be hung and Corey did a great job. We will definitely be using his services again for other electrical projects in my condo!  They also provide very fair prices for the work being completed.  I had a lot of difficulty finding anyone that could match his quote.

Overall I am extremely happy with the service that was provided and love the job that was done.

Prompt, professional and courteous! Both guys wore booties and face masks. Replaced (3) kitchen ceiling light fixtures, (2) flush mount and (1) hanging fixture. Completed the work in 1 hour. Very fair pricing! Would definitely use Excel for future electrical services. Thank you!

John did great work!  I called John because I was concerned the current ceiling outlet box would not support my new ceiling fan. He not only reinforced the outlet box but also installed the new fan and the medallion I purchased for the ceiling at a very affordable price and with minimal mess. He was respectful and knowledgable.  He also gave me advice on how we could repair things ourselves.  As an Army wife whose husband is currently deployed, it was a pleasurable surprise to find that John is also a Veteran.  I will be calling John again the next time I have electrical questions and work that needs to be done, and recommend him to anyone who is in need of an electrician.

I am a licensed contractor and own a number of apartment buildings in Evanston, Illinois.   CM Electric have done three jobs for me so far and I have found them very professional and competent.  The first job was a complete gut rehab with complete new electric including service and all new wires for a two flat on Asbury in Evanston.  The second and third jobs were commercial - one was a lighting store that had extensive electric requirements.  All three jobs that CM Electric did for my company passed inspection from the city of Evanston electric inspector who complemented them on the work.  I plan to use them again next month to replace the service in a two flat.  This work will be done while the tenants are living in the building which I am confident that CM Electric will once again do a good job on this project.  They really know their stuff and found the time to educate me on the newest code and best ways to do things.  They did not cut corners and went the extra mile for my company.

I called and spoke with Gabe who asked to call me back in an hour, 48 hours later I have yet to receive a callback or a text.

A to Z has completed a number of jobs at my home and I have been completely satisfied. The previous owner of my house had installed an illegal electrical wiring in my garage and A to Z redid everything the right way.  They are always available when I need them and are great guys!  I highly recommend them.

Terrible service, felt scammed the entire time. Tried to up charge me by hundreds of dollars. Took advantage of me not knowing electrical issues. Tried to charge me $650 for what second electrician I called told me was $120 worth of repairs. Beyond frustrating company to work with.
