We called Howard this afternoon (the day before Thanksgiving) when we lost power in 1/3rd of our…read morehouse. Howard discovered that our basement renovation resulted in multiple junction boxes being dry-walled over (a big no-no). After explaining the problem, he took the time to tediously saw holes and follow the BX cable from the fuse box through the ceiling to find the proper junction box. All in all, it took 3 hours, but Howard found the problem (a bad connection at the junction box) and fixed it. Sure, we'll have to fix the drywall, but it couldn't have been fixed otherwise. Furthermore, it will allow us to put in the proper access doors at the junction box locations to prevent it from happening again. With 18 people coming over for Thanksgiving in 16 hours, it would be no understatement to say that Howard saved our Holiday (and at a reasonable price). We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Howard to anyone needing work done.

My ceilings are 21 feet high so scaffolding was needed to remove a fan and change out several LEDs both on my ceiling and balcony. (Note that other contractors' estimates really botched the plan on this.) Greg and Alex were amazing!

They were so fast and efficient that my project came in under budget. Greg is a true expert when it comes to electrical work. Having worked with electrical contractors for decades with some mixed results, I can't recommend T&D Electrical highly enough. Their price was very reasonable.

Chris is hands down the best electrician in the Chicagoland area. Being relatively new homeowners,…read morewe've worked with a variety of technicians from multiple major companies and independent electricians, and we now only keep Chris's number saved for electrical issues. Chris has come out to our house multiple times for things as minor as replacing switches to more major troubleshooting issues with our panel. Chris is responsive over the phone. There's no call center to go through. While he's very busy, he has always been able to schedule us at times that are convenient for both of us. Most importantly, he's absolutely trustworthy as far as being able to complete any job we've had. We have an older house, so whenever something pops up that we're unsure of, whether it's a functional issue or safety concern, Chris is able to quickly diagnose the issue and solve it efficiently. He was thorough in inspecting our house and talking through what our electrical system looks like in our house and explaining in plain language why something is happening. I've learned a tremendous amount about our house and electricity in general from his work. The cherry on top is that he is competitively priced for the very high level of expertise that he brings to the table. He's never tried to upsell us and has even talked me out of some work that I've inquired about when it's unnecessary. We've even actually ended up calling him to check work that other electricians have completed when issues have arisen. I can't recommend Chris more at Quality Residential Electric for his knowledge, personability, and fair pricing.

I found Chris via Yelp when I had a wall that start buzzing when I turned on a light switch,…read morecoupled with a three way switch that wasn't behaving normally anymore. No one I knew had any recommendations, so I contacted a few electricians on Yelp because I didn't know where to start. He responded quickly and was EXTREMELY helpful, talking to me on several calls to give an estimate and initial troubleshooting ideas, including suggestions for what to tell my building's engineer in case I opted to have the engineer try to fix it first. He had me send photos of my electrical panel and he mentioned the brand of breakers I had (Challenger) are known to be problematic and hazardous, so he suggested that I have them swapped out when I have the lightswitch fixed. He said my building engineer could probably do it if I preferred that, which would be less expensive. Because my building just changed maintenance/engineering companies earlier this year and I don't really know or trust the new engineer yet, I wanted to have an electrician do this to make sure it was done correctly. I was impressed by his Yelp reviews, Angie's List reviews, and BBB rating, so I hired him. Chris was super easy to work with to schedule the appointment, and he gave me a 2 hour window for when he'd arrive (and as it approached, he called/texted to update me on a more exact ETA). I ended up having him replace all my breakers, and he also replaced the three light switches that were faulty. He also swapped out my hardwired smoke detector, since my old one was past its prime. I pre-purchased the breakers and detector since I had a few days' lead time, so he only charged me for the switches and his time (which was spot-on with the estimate he gave me over the phone). He also went up on my roof when he saw the breaker for my AC unit seemed to not make sense for the size of my apartment, and sure enough it was not what the AC unit sticker said it should be. So he replaced that one with the correct amperage, which reduces the strain on the AC Unit (so it doesn't get damaged) and reduces the risk of a fire. He also found some problems with my building's roof and some building wiring that was exposed up there, which he photographed and sent to me so I could pass it along to the board and management company for them to handle. Chris is a super nice guy, and he was great at explaining what was wrong and what needed to be fixed without upselling me. I'm someone who stresses out about anything home maintenance because I'm terrified of something going tragically wrong, so I appreciated the info he shared. I've already recommended him to my neighbors in our building's facebook group, and I will definitely hire him again for any other electrical work I may need. (I may eventually get my life together and replace some ceiling light fixtures and install a fan. While in theory I could do it myself, I'd rather not accidentally electrocute myself. Plumbing and electric are the two things I don't mess around with, even for simple fixes).

Neville…read moreis everything you could hope for in an electrician: talented, easy to work with, reasonably priced and very friendly. We had a difficult time getting quotes from other vendors, but Neville responded right away with a comprehensive text including his reasonable fee structure and details for scheduling, which was done easily via text. What separates Neville from other electricians is rather than simply addressing whatever single issue you're having, Neville takes more of a systems approach to your home. We called concerning a single fuse we thought was overloaded, and came to find out the whole house was wired to only about three or four separate fuses (we could already tell the house wasn't wired very well from when we'd replaced a few light switches). Neville essentially "re-plumbed" portions of our home, properly distributing the various loads on the fuses based on location and usage, while also upgrading a lot of wiring. None of this was an "upsell", on the contrary, most of it was work we'd already suspected needed to be done before his diagnosis. All the work that was done was discussed and explained up front, with estimations for how every many hours each would take. We haven't blown a fuse since anywhere in the house and take comfort in knowing our electrical system is Neville approved.

After a great experience with Rick rebuilding our back staircase--and seeing other glowing reviews…read moreof his work--we chose him for our bathroom remodel. We picked out all of our own fixtures (sink, toilet, towel hooks, mirror, lights, tiles, paint, grout, etc.) and sent Rick copies of the receipts so he knew exactly what we were getting. This helped him provide an accurate estimate and plan accordingly. Since this is our only bathroom, having access restored quickly was a top priority. While the project took some time due to planning, subcontracting the electrician, installing a brand-new window, reglazing the existing tub, and working around the holidays, Rick made sure disruptions were minimal. The toilet was only unavailable for 24 hours and the shower for just three days total--impressive given the scope of the work! The craftsmanship was excellent, and everyone involved in the project was professional, skilled, and trustworthy. We felt comfortable having them in our home, and the end result was fantastic.
