John from Arnold was great in giving the initial estimate for installation of a new 240v outlet, very professional and gave a great price. During the install, Rob and Jake were awesome! They came on time and finished early with everything I needed. Very professional and communicated well. They cleaned up after themselves and did a great job overall. I had Arnold recommended to me by a family member and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other family and friends. Thx Jake and Rob! read more

Half my power went out at 9pm when I tried to use a vacuum and a space heater at the same time. I requested service through the website and before 8am the next day I had Mary calling to schedule an appointment for an hour later. Derek came out and luckily it was an easy fix; he was nice, personable, and answered all my questions about my old electric system and when it might be time to replace a few things. I live in an old unit where things constantly break, so I've dealt with a number of technicians over the years, and Derek was one of the easiest to work with--it's a relief as a homeowner to talk to someone who really knows their stuff! I also appreciated the status updates I received via text when the appointment was scheduled and Derek was en route. Hopefully I won't be in need of electrician again anytime soon, but if I am, I'll definitely use Arnold again! read more

Eric from Arnold Electric installed a new GFI outlet outside this morning. He was very efficient. And he was very polite, being careful to put on shoe coverings whenever he entered the house. I would definitely use them again. Very positive experience. read more

Derek is my go to guy at Arnold Electric. He is always willing to help address our electrical questions and their team is very cohesive. We had some new electrical service completed and was very satisfied. I will always use Arnold Electric for all electrical work. Shawn B. read more

I had 2 bathroom exhaust fans installed, 14 wafer LED's installed and a number of light switches replaced. All work was done perfectly by Eric Veith. I recommend Arnold Electric and in particular Eric to everyone needing electrical work. The work area was perfectly clean when Eric was ready to leave. read more

We recently renovated our kitchen and Arnold Electrical Services did the disconnect/reconnect in a prompt and professional manner, advising us along the way. Shout out to Derrick, who did the estimate, and Sam and Eric who did the work. Highly recommended. read more

Look no further for an electrical contractor. Arnold Electric is top-notch. The electrical work I needed was extensive. This family owned business lives up to, delivers, and exceeds all of its website claims. I'd be remiss if I didn't give a shout out to the fantastic crew who, over the course of three days, made my house a safe place to live....thank you John, Jonathan, Mike, Yaro, Sam and Eric. And a special thank you to Mary Bell for excellent customer service from beginning to end. read more

When I bought my home 7 years ago I knew it had old cloth wiring . when my attic fan stopped working I called Arnold . There was a inspection fee .they send John he came to look at my attic fan and also did a home inspection . He pointed out on the cloth wiring . I admire John honesty answer all my questions and concerns . Finally after being nervous and holding back on rewiring I decided let's do this . The small fee was included with the work . Rewiring is not cheap . Wow get ready for the work and dust . They found hidden boxes and dangerous wiring . Many holes were made to do this job but it had to be done . Patching is not included and they will tell you that and give Referreal. They are a family business license bonded electricians , they are on time , honest humble caring workers they will work , 5 year warranty guarantee. After I patched the holes they came back to put up my light fixtures and fan .A big shout out to the electric wizard John , Sam , yaro, Tim , Robert , John . Finally my whole house is rewired and It feels comforting to be living safe in my home . Thank you Arnold electrician!! read more

Never responded to emails or calls Wow! Thought the website had potential based on pictures but no! Lost my business. read more

After I had a ton of electric work done by Arnold, a light wasn't working in one of the rooms. I called the office to tell them it may be coincidence, but they sent out Justin Horton, a manager, the next day, who found out it was just a bad splice unrelated to the work they did and he he still fixed it for me AT NO CHARGE. I was floored. I called Mary in the office and told her I wanted to giver her a hug. Arnold has found a loyal customer and I can't recommend them enough. read more

Thank you to Arnold Electric! We were having power issues with electric services to half our house. Arnold Electric sent one of their electricians out very quickly and discovered that it was a ComEd problem (even though ComEd said everything was okay). The electrician helped us by working his magic with some of the wiring to get us back up and going while ComEd solved their part of the problem. Good work, great price. read more

Very responsive to my initial service request and even called to arrange a visit earlier than my scheduled appointment when something sooner opened up. Great work while they were here too. read more

Just had Art here to get power back on for our garage. Really wonderful guy - prompt, efficient, knowledgeable - we couldn't ask for more! Sure worth every penny. read more

Excellent service. Was treated very professionally and fairly after a misunderstanding. Mary is amazing.

Nick Mass and Brendan just finished fixing my attic fan! So now my a/c is drawn upstairs!! So hot...but they came on time and did the job quickly and professionally! They left no mess and were cheerful and thorough despite what must be over 100 degrees temp plus humidity in the attic!!! Thank you!!!!!! read more

We had a rush situation, and Arnold came through for us. They are organized. The job required two visits, because an unusual transformer had to be ordered, and the second visit I discovered I did not have my keys to the unit (due to the unusual amount of trading keys to this rental unit back and forth due to a pending sale, for showings, inspections, etc.) and both the tech and Mary in the office could not have been kinder about it, simply re-scheduling without drama. Their invoicing (necessary when real estate is in the process is changing hands!) is prompt, too. Altogether a well-run outfit--not the cheapest, perhaps, but reliable in a crunch-time. read more

Art came out this week and was on time at 7:00 am. He was professional and very knowledgeable about all projects I needed his help on. He was able to make many fixtures that have not worked at our place ever come to life!! I will use Art for all future projects. read more

We recently called Arnold Electric Services to have two new light fixtures installed. This has been at least our fifth experience working with Arnold Electric and they have always been excellent in every regard, from the ease of making appointments with Mary in the office to the courteous, prompt service from the electricians. Their reliability and professionalism are top rated. On our latest call, Tim came and did an excellent job, also doing a thorough check on all of our outlets and electrical system. We consider Arnold Electric Services to be our go to company when it comes to electrical needs. We would highly recommend this excellent company to anyone looking for electrical needs. David Briere and David DuPre read more

Jonanthan and Yaro came to our house to do a bunch of small electrical projects. Both were professional, friendly, and went out of their way to be helpful. The work was done well at a good price. I'll be using them again in the future. Highly recommended! read more

I called on a Monday and made a 7 am appointment for that Thursday (5/23/19) with Mary (Office Manager) to request a quote on a few things at our house. Mary is very pleasant on the phone. On Wednesday (5/22/19), Mary emailed me requesting me to confirm the appointment for the next day which I promptly responded to. On the day of the appointment (today), no one arrived at 7am. I waited until 7:15 am and called Mary and she said a tech would be there in "a minute or two". At 7:30 am, I called again and no one answered. At this point, I was not sure if someone was even going to show up so I started to pack up my things to go to work since I was taking time off to request this quote (I start work typically at 6:30 am). I left my house at 7:40. At 7:41 am, the tech showed up. I understand that people run late and if that had been communicated with me then I would have gladly waited until the tech arrived. However, due to poor communication I'll look else where for my electrical services. read more

I called for two small jobs that took 20 minutes in total where I already supplied the parts. Another company would have charged me under $200 if I had the parts already with me but timing didn't work out to her them. I was charged over $500 which was an absolute joke. I do not recommend this company. They force charged an inspection upon arrival that was not asked for, dragged out their visit and then offers 3 scenarios for work (all insulting prices) with the last option finally doing what was asked at a premium rate. The technician was nice, respectful and did a great job on the tasks. He was just doing as he was instructed. read more

This company is amazing! I had an electrical issue in the condo that I rent, so I contacted them per the google reviews and I was not disappointed. Jack Arnold personally called me back and put my order in on a Saturday evening. He was warm, and genuine, he expressed concern for my wellbeing and for my situation. We talked about his family and he just was very polite and professional. Pedro came out and played with my boys and continuously reassured me that he would find some sort of solution. We had to wait for calls from ComEd and he was more than patient. He even helped my husband stabilize the Christmas tree that he and the boys were putting up. He also spoke of his family and had had a great spirit . Amazing job, he fixed the issue and we were beyond happy! read more

We had some issues with our electrical box that required a complete changeout. Tim was quick to come out and assess the situation. Within a week we had a new safer box thanks to the professionalism of Robert, Sam, and Jeff. They were very courteous and accommodating of our work from home situation. Thanks you guys! read more

Arnold Electric really helped me out when another electrician left me a tough position. Mary, Mike, Brian, and Pedro were all very knowledgeable and helpful. Overall a great experience. read more

I had a project of switching out 2 light fixtures, finding why one didn't work and adding an outlet. Yaro K not only finished the work in his usual professional manner, he was thrown a curved ball on one of the fixtures. He knocked it out of the park!! I appreciate his care in making sure the work looks great. Highly recommend Arnold Electric! read more

The Arnold Electric team is knowledgeable and professional. They make sure the project is completed to your satisfaction.

Out of 3 electrical companies I contacted for a condo building light timer problem, only Arnold Electric responded. Tim Booker was personable, yet professional, and diagnosed that a new timer was needed. They did not have one at the shop, so he went to Home Depot and purchased one and was able to install it in the same afternoon. We will definitely call this business again if we have another electrical job in our building. read more

We used Arnold Electric for a two significant jobs for our single family home. I compared their quote to two other contractors and theirs was right in line. The team at Arnold was professional, fast, very communicative, and easy to deal with. I'll recommend them to anyone else I know and use them again in the future. read more

This company is wonderful. These days it is so hit or miss when you do a google search to find what you need and cold call for assistance ... so many companies seem to be in it for the money and have completely lost the personal touch. From Mary in the office to John Phillips who came to my apartment today to perform a safety inspection, they have been nothing but professional and kind. They treated me like an individual and not just another customer. They listened to what I had to say, answered all of my questions, and handled my appointment with just the right amount of care and attention. Highly recommend. read more

Highly recommend Arnold Electric. The office staff is super responsive - all the work was done in a timely manner at a fair cost. Nothing was pushed that wasn't required. Very happy overall - will definitely use again in the future. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Arnold Electrical. Derek was educational, talked through my different options and was honorable. Definitely going to use them again! read more

Awesome experience with this company. All of the employees are incredibly friendly--Pam who answers the phone is the friendliest lady in the universe, I think--and Jack is an owner who clearly cares about quality work and satisfied customers. He even came out on his own time one night to help answer some questions I had. We had Arnold Electric come out for some major work on an old house we bought: - Raised the point of attachment to the house - Installed 200 amp service - Install new outdoor meter with shutoff - Moved our panel location from a strange place (hidden behind wood paneling in our back room?) to a more logical and easy-to-access spot in the basement - Replaced the old panel with a newer, larger panel - Re-routed outdoor conduit for the garage and air conditioners so they were underground - Ran electricity for a dishwasher and garbage disposal - Installed a new outdoor patio light - Installed a timer switch - Replaced a bathroom exhaust fan ...and probably more. It was a big and expensive job, but Ryan, Wali, and the rest of the Arnold Electric crew did great work and really put in long hours doing so. We're having them come back to do a few more items, and I won't hesitate to recommend them to others. read more

Yesterday, I had an electrical safety evaluation with Pedro from Arnold Electric Services, Chicago. Pedro is very thorough and explained everything with the outlets and safety and keeping the electrical panel area clean and dust free. He also answered all my questions and provided quotes regarding putting in ceiling fans and what enhancements would need to be done to handle the additional weight. I highly recommend Arnold Electric Services! read more

After a broken pipe led to wall removals in our 100+ yr old house, we discovered lots of unsafe electrical problems within our walls and ceilings. Arnold electrical was one of the few companies that actually called me back when we were looking for someone to fix everything. We were so impressed by their responsiveness, communication, and process in just giving us a quote, that we choose them to repair and replace everything. They ended up replacing our electrical panel, adding a sub panel to the garage, properly dug a trench and buried a conduit for our garage electric, installed an outdoor outlet, installed a light fixture in our stairwell, placed exposed wires in conduit, and completely rewired our house. We worked with two different teams and two other individuals from Arnold throughout this whole process. John did our initial assessments. He was very helpful, knowledgeable, and took his time listening to our concerns. Justin did our panel inspection, along with the city inspector. He was also very friendly and knowledgeable. Mary, the receptionist, was always friendly and responsive, and set up the city inspection and permit for the work. Jeff and his team did the rewiring and garage. They were always on time, did an initial vacuum clean up afterwards, cleaned up their mess everyday, and even brought treats for my dog on the last. Our only complaint is that we felt we were not adequately prepared for how many holes they had to make to do the rewire. Maybe they didn't know until they actually started? Despite that, we are very satisfied with their services. They were pricey, but prices seemed on par with other local companies. Their communication, promptness, that they actually showed up on time every time, and that they coordinated the city permit and inspection were well worth the money. read more

Great service! We had an electrician come in last week to replace our pendant lamps in our condo. Our electrician was professional, quick, and knowledgeable. read more

My electric stove went out and tripped the breaker. They came and checked the wiring and everything checked out fine. The stove is hardwired so I asked him if he'd be able to install an outlet. He said I didn't need one. When the stove came they couldn't install it because it was hardwired and I found out that none of the stores will hardwire a stove anymore. When I called Arnold they wanted to charge me way more than the $200 Abt was going to charge me for the outlet install. Arnold made the mistake with misinformation. read more

Fantastic experience with Arnold Electric Services. I was contacted almost immediately after my service request and had an electrician onsite in less than a week. I needed to install a double oven and required new wiring / breaker installation. Tim showed up right on time and was able to complete my project same day. He was very professional and even helped me complete the oven installation (which included lugging around a super heavy double oven). Definitely recommend them and shoutout to Tim for a great job. read more

We had a great experience with Arnold Electrical Services from the moment we reached out to them via Yelp. Someone responded to my message within minutes and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I then called to schedule an appointment with one of their technicians. John was scheduled to come on a Tuesday but called on Monday and asked if I would like for him to come that day since he was in the area. I gladly took him up on his offer, and he arrived promptly. John was very professional and knowledgeable. He listened carefully to our needs and then thoroughly went over how he and his team would address them. In the process, he also offered alternative suggestions that would be less invasive but still solve our problems. Furthermore, he performed a complimentary safety inspection for us. Lastly, John gave us his personal number and was super responsive and helpful throughout the process. I highly recommend Arnold Electrical Services, especially John! read more

An OUTSTANDING company and I would highly recommend their services. ComEd had accidently turned off our power and was not able to switch it back on because they discovered a "back feed" to the meter which made it unsafe. I needed an electician to come immediately to avoid having no power over the entire weekend. I spoke with Pam and she had an electrician at our home within the hour. The company went out of the way to correct the problem and even contacted ComEd on our behalf to report the problem was fixed. We had our power restored and received a follow-up call from Pam to ensure we had power back on. Both a caring and highly professional company. Thank you!!! read more

We bought a new house and needed some light fixtures replaced ASAP before painting started and some out of date outlets updated. Arnold Electric was able to get someone out next day, which was awesome. Derek and Nick arrived on time and did a thorough safety inspection. They went over everything with me and made suggestions of things that should be addressed. The pricing was super straight forward (per task, rather than hourly which is great in an old house where seemingly simple things can sometimes end up taking way longer than you thought) and they completed everything quickly. I will definitely be using them again! read more
