Dunning Electric is outstanding! I had an urgent situation and called numerous contractors who were either busy or charged up to $1000 just to come and assess the issue. I was thrilled to get Dunning Electric and spoke with Adam, who then connected me with John the owner. I called on Friday afternoon. He fit me in on Saturday morning came and within minutes identified the problem. I had literally no power for 1/3 of my condo for four days he is an expert, professional, and extremely personable. I would highly recommend calling this company first for any electrical needs and you won't be disappointed. Thank you to Dunning Electric. Anne read more

I recently used Dunning Electric to replace a 60 year old fuse box with a new circuit breaker box. They do a lot of work in my building and came highly recommended. They gave me a competitive estimate and did quality work. I would recommend them for anyone looking at getting electrical work done. read more

Great service all around. Extremely happy with their work and professionalism. Needed a new panel installed.

They took 3 weeks to not get an estimate for our building. I followed up 4 times, said they would provide it a week ago, still nothing. This is the bare minimum entry level judgement someone uses when choosing a business to work with. read more

This company is a joke!!! Do not hire this company!! I had to deal with constant rescheduling despite the time frame I gave them. The last straw was when I was left a voice msg by Evan asking me to change our scheduled time. I never got the msg, as it turns out, they went ahead and rescheduled anyway. I make myself avail the original day, nobody shows, no apology and I am told by Evan that I should know the importance of checking my voice msg's. I contracted to have surface mounted wire mold installed on my bedroom wall. When I finally did get them to show up the electrician arrives with all Ivory materials. I explained to him this is residential, I need white. I was told not all the parts come in white, only some. In 1 minute, on my phone, I find all the parts the electrician is mentioning, in white. He said, "let me make a phone call." After his phone call, he is coached to say anything he can to get me to agree to have the work done, hoping that something sticks. First, I am told they can spray paint it. I told him that is ridiculous. I hired electricians not painters. Then I was told it would take up to 2 weeks to get material in white. I stopped at the local home improvement store 5 minutes from my location and saw the shelves stocked (overflowing) with everything that I needed (in white!). I drove to the office on Irving Park to speak with the owner and explain what a debacle my experience is. Believe me, I could write more. The owner isn't in, so I speak with Evan. Without getting into long details, I'll summarize and let you know this guy has NO customer service skills. This is what you are gong to deal with if you have an issue or issues as I did. I sent an e-mail to the owner explaining in more detail what my experience was. No response. Lastly, I offer you this insight in regards to the person who responds to these reviews on yelp, Adam W., who identifies himself as "business owner." It is implied that he is the business owner of Dunning, he is not! Maybe he owns a pastry business or a gas station but not Dunning Electric. The owner of Dunning Electric is not named Adam nor does he look like the picture that Adam has attached to his name. It is not very hard or time consuming to find out who the owner of this company is if anyone wants to know. Ask yourself, do you want to do business with a company that operates like this read more

Can you say RIPOFF?!!! I called Dunning for a partial power outage in a section of my condo last month. Their electrician came out and after looking at my fuse box and doing some power outlet tests narrowed it down to a short in the lamp in my bedroom. He did a short test of some of my outlets and then screwed in a spare fuse I had and the power came back on. I was ready to pay that day but the paperwork the electrician had on hand that day did not show a total, he told me they prefer to send an invoice via email. So today I get an email from Dunning with an invoice copy asking when I am going to pay for the work. This was the first I ever heard from them since the guy was at my condo. The invoice was charging $45.00 for a service visit and $125.00 for labor. Are you kidding me Dunning, what labor? He was there all of 10 minutes and didn't really do anything. If this business was an honest operation and wanted repeat customers they would just charge me the service fee of $45.00, that would be fair. But $170.00? It's not like there was any rewiring done here. If you are thinking of using this company, forget about it and keep looking. This business is one of two electric services companies recommended by my condo office and I'll be lodging a complaint with them as well. Oh, and to top it off, they don't accept credit cards! read more

I hired Dunning Electric a few months ago to help fix an issue with electricity to our garage. We had a handy man set up a wire from the house to the garage but it was a viable long-term option. I called multiple electical companies, however they were the most responsive and attentive to our needs. They showed up on time and were able to diagnosis and fix the issues in a timely manner. I definitely will be utilizing them for any future electrical needs as they were very professional and knowledable. read more

Dunning's service was absolutely first rate, from scheduling through to the installation of my new electrical panel. The team worked with me through a couple of reschedules on my part, and then showed up right on time for the actual service date. They got right to work after answering my questions and we're done in a fraction of the time I had expected it to take. They even did a couple of extra touches for me without adding to the charges. Fabulous work, and really pleasant to work with as well. It doesn't get any better than that. read more

I had a really bad experience with Dunning. Repeated calls to try to get appt scheduled. Waited weeks for callbacks. Had to pay 1/2 upfront to get on their schedule, and then the electrician was not prepared with correct equipment and supplies to do all of the work. When I complained there was not follow up or resolution. Overall an unpleasant and aggravating experience. read more

They have installed all of my new light fixtures in my condo in Chicago. Very professional, clean , timely. In fact, I just called today to have them install the last one! Highly recommend! read more

Left my electrical area a mess, didn't make it clear they don't accept credit cards, argued "I left my apartment a mess" and that's how the electrician found it, found a pile of dirt on my kitchen floor which they also denied, etc. Won't use again. read more

Can't comment on the service, but they were supposed to come by and check out a short in my wall. But no showed and no called. When I called to see if they were still coming the person answering the phone was quite rude as well. read more

I can't say enough good things about this company. I've used them for years, and they are great. Today, Kelly came to put in new outlets and remove very old wall plates in preparation for painters coming. It was a hard job because the plates had been painted over numerous times, and the screws were stripped. He was careful and thorough and answered all my questions. He also switched everything over to the new power strips I had bought Additionally, John in the main office worked with my building to make certain everything went smoothly to follow all the condo rules. I know a lot of people in my building use Dunning, and I will continue to be one of them. read more

Dunning Electrical was extremely busy when I called so it took some time before they could come to my condo. When they did arrive they were extremely professional and skilled at what they were doing. I would use them again. Marina Bill read more

Al, Nancy and Julian at Dunning Electric went above and beyond to help me out during a recent real estate closing. They are professional, on time and a breeze to work with! read more

Not only did the electrician they sent, know nothing about my track lights, they never called back to give an estimate for a new transformer, that supposedly I needed. Maybe I should give 2 stars, without knowing it, he fixed the problem taking it apart and putting it back together. The track lighting just needed to be tightened. Call Green Street for any electrical work in Chicago. read more

Highly recommend. Fantastic all-around service. Prompt, courteous response to all phone inquiries, knew the ins and outs of working in downtown highrises, efficient, properly done work on complete replacement of the circuit breaker panel and all-involved. Price was more than fair for the amount of work done. read more

Worst customer service ever. Attempted to contact several times and no return call. Finally I was called back and an estimator was sent to estimate the cost of the project. Then two weeks later finally got an overpriced estimate. Total time from first inquiry to estimate delivery was two months. read more

I highly recommend Dunning to anyone in need of electrical work. They sent an electrician to my home and he did a wonderful job. He was not only efficient, but also very polite. They will always be my first call! read more
