Alternating Currents did an outstanding, very professional job for us at Downers Grove Christian School. They had the most critical piece of a multi-layered project that significantly upgraded our data network and established new, state of the art communications throughout our thriving school and church. We needed the work by Marty and Cheryl's team to be completed flawlessly and on-time. Over 200 new cable drops, laying Cat6 through our diverse facility, w/ interim connections and required end points. There was a narrow window in the schedule for this work to be done; AltCur accepted that mission and they did it. This team worked tirelessly to accomplish the objectives on time, on budget and with true professionalism. Our staff was impressed with their knowledge, kindness and attention to detail. I strongly recommend this company - very competent, good people who do what they say they will do. read more

Jim arrived promptly at designated time. He proceeded to walk to each item needing attention, having me confirm identify (per estimate) what was required. Work began replacing GFI receptacles where needed, inside and outside. All were finished in a clean, professional manner. Also required replacement of 50-amp/2-pull breaker in panel. Accomplished this task perfectly. When finished, Jim walked me to each job, explaining everything regarding new installation and patiently answering any questions I may have had. It was a pleasure meeting all the staff at Alternating Currents. They were very considerate & kind in answering my questions and arranging appointments for each step in this project. I thank them and will most highly recommend them to all who need electrical work done. read more

Marty was the lead man in the installation of my generator, scheduled for 12/11/2020. This is a full day project. Several days prior, he was looking at potential weather issues. He suggested they begin a day earlier for a half day. This way they had a jump on predicted rain on the 11th. The installation went smoothly, finishing around mid day on the 11th. It looks great. It has already completed its first automatic weekly "exercise" cycle. (It runs for 5 minutes and shuts itself off). By the way, 10 minutes after they left, it started raining. My thanks to the entire crew. Bill M. read more

Alternating Currents is extremely professional. They helped us out in an emergency with incredible service, even though we were not a customer of theirs before. We were so happy with their service that we had them do a scheduled job for us next. Before all of the work, Marty came out and we talked over all of the options. They did the work they promised in a very timely manner. We like them also because they are big enough to handle any projects we would come up with while at the same time, they make it personal. We will have them do all of our electrical work in the future. We highly recommend Alternating Currents. Don H. read more

I asked for two projects to be completed. 1. Generac- generator service. Excellent , efficient and timely. Highly recommend. Very knowledgeable and really nice that Alternating Currents has a dedicated individual for generators/generac 2. 50amp outlet with line brought up to the garage for an EV charger. Aaron was outstanding. Really great work. Extremely pleased with how it turned out. Price was appropriate and estimate was done prior to work. Meticulous Date of both services was December 2023 Will only use this group (alternating currents) from here on out. Professional, organized and on time/budget read more

Alternating Currents recently installed a Generac whole-house generator for us. The company was a pleasure to deal with from initial estimates to ongoing email communication to installation. The office staff kept us informed, providing detailed samples of forms we needed to supply to the gas company, and always keeping us up to date on time frame. The day of installation went smoothly, with a friendly team who also kept us informed of what they were doing. We will definitely use them for maintenance on the generator and also for any future electrical work we might need. read more

Alternating Currents installed and now maintain my Generac generator. They ave been highly responsive, honest and extremely professional from the moment I contacted them. Their work is second to none and leave without any mess. The office personnel respond very quickly even after business hours. I am EXTREMELY pleased with this company and ALL personnel! I have recommended Alternating Currents to my friends as well. They too are just as satisfied. If you want a top notch, caring company who are very fair, look no further! BC read more

A note from a satisfied customer... I had power run and a ceiling fan installed in my condo today, and was very happy with the job that was done. The electrician that did the job (Cal Thurlby) was prompt, professional, and extremely efficient. He had the job done in no time and made sure he cleaned up after the project was complete. He made sure I knew how to use the remote, and that I was satisfied with the install. Thanks to Alternating Currents for a job well done, I will definitely use you for my next electrical project... read more

Recently engaged them after a very reasonable over-the-phone quote to trace a neutral fault with my smoke detectors. To say that the electricians knew exactly what to do is a understatement! They tackled with ease what seemed to me to be a nearly impossible task (indeed, it was actually difficult). Job was completed in a reasonable time and, importantly, they left the work areas spotless. I'll definitely have them over again and so should you! read more

We have used Alternating Currents for many projects throughout our house and recommend them without hesitation. For our most recent project, Jim replaced several light switches and outlets in our home. He made sure that I understood and agreed with what he would be doing before starting, and explained and tested everything well before completing the project. He was on time and respectful of our home, and the price was very reasonable. Great work! read more

We have used Alternating Currents for several projects over the years. They have installed outdoor lighting and done some indoor electrical work as well. Marty and his crew provide consistently great service. They are extremely knowledgable and professional. Everyone, including the office staff, is polite and the work is very high quality. I highly recommend this company, we have been very happy with their work. read more

They arrived on time for the estimate, which was fair and properly explained. When it came time to schedule, they were easy to work with. On the day of the work, they arrived on time, did the job as requested, and cleaned up everything. In addition, they paid extra attention to the Covid19 masks and cleanliness, because that's the world we live in now. I would recommend this company for any size job. read more

Jim and Dave were prompt, courteous and cleaned up their work. They worked through a day long list that included replacing outdated outlets (inside and outside), installing new ceiling fans and clearing circuit routing issues. They provided clear, practical options when questions arose. In short , they were a pleasure to work with as were the office staff in preparing the final estimate. read more

We used Alternating Currents for 2 jobs recently. We had a 4 prong outlet installed and upgraded our outlets to be GFCI compliant. We were very happy with the completion of the work as well as the communication, responsiveness and advice they gave us. We now have all necessary outlets upgraded along with a dedicated outlet for our sump pump and the 4 prong outlet for our new dryer. read more

My garage door wasn't working and it was determined the cause was a problematic electrical connection. Cal repaired the problem and explained it clearly. He got the job done for less than the original estimate. I feel this company is honest and handled my issue in a prompt and professional manner. I plan to use Alternating Currents again for any future electrical concerns. read more

Alternating Currents is prompt to respond when there is an issue. They give advice over the phone and made sure I knew exactly what work was going to be done on my home. They were adamant about getting the job done to my standards and completed in a timely manner. They are the most reliable electrical company near me and I would recommend them to anyone!! read more

Installed a whole house generator and they were fantastic. I was quoted the day after I called, and was able to schedule install within a week. Everyone was courteous and professional, would recommend them to anyone. Even after the job was done, they applied on my behalf for an extended warranty promotion through the manufacturer. Highly recommend. read more

Fantastic service. Came for some fixes and had the cause of the problem explained in detail. Answered all questions I had about other potential work we might want done unrelated to the original issue. Also found additional issues from past work performed on the house and we're planning on having them out to fix that as well. read more

Highly recommended. ACC put in 240 service for an oven. The quote was timely. Maybe a little pricey. The electrician was personable, which was nice. But his work was quality and clean, which was better. It was not an easy run going through the basement ceiling. Voltage tested at 240 when he finished. I'm happy read more
