I've had two very positive experiences with Yaro from Arnold Electric Services. He was always went above and beyond to do extra things that were outside the scope of his responsibilities. With negative experiences with many other companies with purchasing an older home, Arnold Electric is one of the only ones we've been able to fully trust. read more

Just moved into my new condo and had a few electrical issues I wanted reviewed. When I called, they were very quick to schedule an appointment and send follow up reminders before the day. Derek Hilgenberg was prompt, explained how to resolve the issues, and provided recommendations on things I may want to consider to increase the longevity of my appliances and my breaker. Very happy with the work and will definitely reach out to them again for any electrical needs! read more

Tony Wilburn came this morning from Arnold. His communications allowed us to work out a good time for his arrival. He worked quickly and smartly. I was interested when he mentioned Arnold's program for annual check-ups, lightbulb changes, all starting with a complete review of all outlets, switches and electrical box and a discount on all future visits. Professional and personable. Highly recommended! read more

We got our Tesla charger installed by Arnold. From the time they visited our home to getting it installed, it was a breeze. Eric came by today and installed the charger. Extremely friendly, professional and got the job done in time. We are very happy to have gone with Arnold and will be working with them in the future on other projects as well. read more

I really wanted to like these guys. But the whole house surge protector they charged me $588 for was a part that sells at Home Depot for $94. I didn't intend to get a whole house surge protection, it was an upsell from the estimator, who specified it came with a $20,000 warranty. Paying $490 for the installation of a $94 GE surge protector sucks. Oh and it turns out it actually has a $15,000, 3-year warranty. Yes, I talked directly to them and explained the situation. They said it is what it is. Buyer beware, as always. For what it's worth, the dedicated sump pump outlet they installed is fine. Just wish I'd only bought that. Live and learn, once again. Hoping someone reads this and doesn't have to learn the hard way. read more

Derek Hilgenberg did a fast, courteous, neat job for me. He solved a dishwasher problem in no time. I knew when he was on the way and he arrived right on time. I will recommend Derek to my condo neighbors without hesitancy . read more

The company has one person come for an estimate and then schedule another for the work. I appreciated that once John saw I only needed a few things he immediately contacted Eric who agreed to come that same day. Eric took the time to explain what he did and what else he observed with my old house (old electric!). Eric took the time to make some recommendations for the future. The company was very responsive and both John and Eric were very polite, personable and knowledgeable! I did not know this, but if you are doing your kitchen on your own and not through an expensive designer, they will look at your kitchen plan and suggest where to put the lighting. One thing, they are premium priced. I was quite surprised and was not able to do everything I planned to do. read more

arrived on time and provided arrival details. estimate was explained and the job was quickly scheduled. work was completed and the job was outstanding and clean. read more

Arnold Electrical Services - under cabinet led lighting - Electricians Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is an excellent company they did a great job raising my amps from 100 to 200. From the initial consultation with John who was genuine and honest I felt confident trusting him and the company to do the work. I was correct in my assessment they were friendly, efficient and answered every question I had as well as explain in detail everything that was being done. I highly recommend Arnold electric! read more

We had extensive electrical work that needed to be done with our home. Eric Veith, our technician, was great with all of the work that was specified in our estimate. And with our follow-up appointment, he was able to diagnose a misconfigured circuit quickly and fix it. He also provided intelligent recommendations for various things. He was pleasant to work with, and we would gladly have him help us with any future electrical work. read more

I've used Arnold Electrical Services now a few times, once for our condo building and twice for my personal unit. They have been fantastic each time -- I highly recommend them! I'll absolutely be using them again when I do some renovations in the next year. read more

Jake has been awesome to work with. Payed attention to detail and addressed all of my concerns.

Efficient in all ways - letting us know when they would arrive via text, quoting, scheduling the job, and getting it all done quickly and neatly. read more

Tony spent roughly 90 minutes in our kitchen moving an outlet so that we could install a new induction oven. He was great-- polite, professional, and skilled. We live in an old house and electrical work is always a little tricky and nerve-inducing. We will definitely use Arnold Electrical for all future work and hope that Tony is the electrician assigned to the job. read more

This company should get a higher rating. First they showed up on time. Gave me several options to think about and felt no pressure to do the work. Although I received other quotes I decided to go with Arnold. Very happy with the work. The work was done as promised. Always available for consultations. I definitely would use them and refer them again read more

Mike and his crew came at 7am, worked all day to complete the job. Cleaned up and did a great job. Replaced the main breaker box, rewired and added a line for our sump pump. Grounded our electric meter and replaced a whole house box. We need some other small electrical work done, so will definitely call them out again. read more

Tony did a great job of installing new circuits and outlets in my basement for our sump pump. Very professional & courteous!

I have used Arnold Electric for three projects at my house over the past four years. They are so easy to work with. They arrive when they say they'll be there, and they keep you advised of their ETA. The workers are knowledgable and pleasant to deal with. As a single senior, I feel safe; meaning t don't feel like I'm being taken for a ride. They don't try to up-sell by recommending additional work. In fact, a recent project wound up being much simpler than anticipated and they refunded me a portion of the deposit I gave them because the resulting work was half of what was expected! I suppose you could find a less expensive company, but to me, the reliability and comfort I feel working with Arnold is well worth the cost. I can't recommend them enough! read more

I've been procrastinating getting our electric system looked at in our 1926 Chicago bungalow, but I finally called Arnold Electric and couldn't be happier. John did the safety inspection and he was so helpful, informative and kind. On a side note, my son during the inspection with a question about smoked salmon and John was able to answer that too, as he used to be a chef. In addition, there website has short videos that are helpful. I give them, and John, my highest recommendation. I was also very impressed with their communication, texts and emails. read more

In a world of disappointment and mediocrity, Arnold Electrical is a stunning example of a professional, kind, courageous and brilliant team who will not only fix your home, but restore your belief that craftsmen care about their work and that all is right in the world. read more

Yaro and Eric did a great job converting our two panels into one larger panel when one of them died. They were on time and done quicker than expected. Very professional work would definitely hire them again for any other jobs. read more

We recently bought our first single family home and needed expert advice on our electrical system. Derek was professional, thorough, and super informative. Their inspection process was very impressive and helpful -- I highly recommend them! read more

Have used Arnold Electrical Services for many jobs in the condo building I live in and am Board President. You cannot beat the service, good deal and knowledge the employees have. I also recommend them to owners who ask me to refer an electrician. They are the best! Sandy B read more

We used Arnold for an electrical project in our basement and we're very happy with the work. Derek, John, and the rest of the team were great! J&J Logan Square read more

Absolutely great work and service. Jack and his team are true professionals. I highly recommend Arnold Electric.

Our second time calling Arnold Electrical Services. Small job with two lights installed in hallway area and four new light switches installed. John Phillips had more items that he suggested that we take care of, but I just wanted to get this done before Christmas and I didn't feel pressured to do otherwise. Forgive me for forgetting the young man's name that did the work involved but most professional and quick with his work. Will definitely call again in spring of 2023 to have other work done. read more

John Phillips was very professional. He was very nice and helped me get the kitchen lights to work. He gave me a quote for the rest of the work to be done in the condo and showed me a fire hazard. I so appreciate John taking the time to give me a quote for everything and to show me an interest free way of financing it. read more

My wife and I bought a new house and Arnold's inspection revealed a number of pressing issues (including a severely corroded breaker box). They provided excellent, timely service and unilaterally saved us nearly $1,000 from the estimate by making adjustments on the fly. They also fixed a bunch of little things that were annoying me and put in a dedicated circuit for a couple of full-size video games (so I guess it's now my wife's turn to be annoyed). Anyway, they were great - 10/10 would hire again. read more

I heard such great things about this company, but as someone who has been burned before, I was skeptical of the good reviews. Finally there was an electrical issue I could not ignore (smoking and burning smells are terrifying!). Derek Hilgenberg came out and did a thorough inspection, fixed the immediate issues, and then helped me come up with a plan that I would find amenable. Then his son, Brady, and Sam Lee came out and did a beautiful job. At every point I was shown what needed to be fixed, the importance and the different options were explained, and the work was completed in a timely way. I didn't feel like I was being cornered or hounded by a greasy villain salesman or upcharged. Furthermore, they were so considerate of the property. They wore shoe covers and when they noticed I was wearing a mask in a time where people are convinced that Covid-19 is not a threat, they immediately put theirs on. I think it's even in my file that work done at my property should be done wearing proper face coverings. That alone showed me how careful and detailed and respectful this service would be--that alone speaks volumes about what I could expect, and though they just finished the work today and I am still cynical (I'm a bit of a bad penny), I'm comfortable saying I will use their services in the future. read more

Arnold Electric did a phenomenal job! We live in a condo, and needed to replace an archaic electrical box. Living in HOA governed unit means we need to follow guidelines... Arnold Electric helped us through the whole experience and process in a smooth and professional way. From the first appointment - showing up on time, being courteous and professional. Understanding what the HOA wants/needs and providing everything within time and to the satisfaction of the HOA board. Within 1 hour of first appointment we got a quote, which was in our budget range! Appointment was scheduled within 24 hours. All needed documents provided promptly. On the day of the instal Tim Booker, Electrician. showed up with Brady, his apprentice. The two were professional, clean, pleasant, respectful, and finished the job promptly with no issues. They did anything they could to minimize the impact of the retrofit on our day-to-day life. Thank you Tim and Brady!!! We highly recommend using them for electric jobs. read more

I normally don't leave reviews on things, but this is worth it. Derek came to help us out. Super friendly. He had a mask on. We appreciated his willingness to keep both himself and us safe during these times. He figured out the problem and made it work. He actually saved us a TON of hassle AND money by offering a temporary fix. We will be sure to call them back to get to the bottom of the issue. But in the meantime, great job. Great service. Great explanation of exactly what was happening in our home. He even offered to stay to simulate a possible scenario that could possibly cause problems. He wanted to make sure every possibility was safe, and that we would be OK. We are so grateful for the service. read more

A little disappointed... It seems most like a miscommunication between their sales and technical people, but I called to have have a chimney fan wired which I was told was a service they performed by sales team on the phone. Their field guy (whom was nice) said they did not do that work. I was aware there was a dispatch fee that would be credited toward work performed, but I was surprised that I had to pay the dispatch fee for a ~15 minute visit just to tell me they would not perform the work. I don't even have anything to apply the dispatch fee to... I would have not had them out if the sales team had told me they wouldn't perform the work! read more

Called for a light fixture /circuit repair and an $89 consultation fee was never mentioned. Found it later in the emailed appointment reminder. Came out and gave a 9K quote for house rewiring( the house was rewired in 2001) . We paid the $89 and then tightened the fixture ourselves. Beware!! They come out right away in hopes of conning you into a bigger job! read more

I contracted this company to upgrade my electrical meter and panel. I am impressed with their professionalism. Technicians, Tim and Mike, efficiently completed the project on time. They effectively communicated the process and answered my concerns satisfactorily. I highly recommend this company. read more

I have never felt compelled to write a review, but Derek from Arnold Electric blew me away with his services, professionalism and expertise! I own a small business in Chicago and we had 2 days of no hot water, no heating, and my clients were mad...and i was losing my mind because it was an electrical mystery to determine where the problem was and how to solve it. Derek arrived yesterday calm and polished. He was sensitive to have stressed and anxious I was, and he helped me have confidence that he would resolve the problem. And he DID! It was a very complicated matter that required his utmost expertise, patience, and determination. He is simply the BEST! I am so grateful! read more

I'm so happy I found Arnold Electric Services but even more happy & grateful for the electrician who recently did work on my mom's home. Sam Lee of Arnold Electric Services recently installed a dedicated 20 amp circuit for my mom. Sam was prompt, honest, very courteous, and extremely professional. Sam did a fantastic job. Very impressed! I appreciated his consistent communication throughout the entire process. If you are looking for a professional that will be on time, communicate clearly, compete the work exactly as you desire and provide a level of service rarely found these days, I highly recommend Sam Lee from Arnold Electric Services for your home needs. read more

The best all the way around! Been to my home twice with both experiences (with different staff each time) and each time and team were professional, courteous and prompt. read more

I've used this company twice now and Derek was our technician. Once for a pretty major job where they replaced our ancient electric panel and updated closet lighting and some switched and outlets so they were up to code. Another time he came out to update an exterior outlet and outlets in the basement. Both times Derek was prompt in his arrival and very efficient with getting the job done. I think I've found my go-to company for everything electric and would highly recommend them to family, friends, and others. read more

We had a small project that involved replacing several outlets with GFI products. Our Arnold serviceman came on time and neatly completed the job in less than 70 minutes. The work was beautifully done and the repairman completed the job at the stated price with no efforts to try to add other purchases. My wife and I have consistently experienced this quality service from Arnold over the last several years. We highly recommend Arnold for any electrical work. read more
