Ev charger
Paul P.

GREAT people to work with. Esp if you're near the oak park, river forest, forest park area. I accidentally checked the box for "find similar estimates" on yelp when I tried to contact these guys so I ended up with like 10 estimates. Some of them were 3 times the price. Some of them said "no you can't do that". They were wrong. The folks at kinetic know the local codes. They dealt with the permits and the village and were even willing to chase down comed if needed which wasn't necessary. There were 3 ways to solve my ev needs and theirs was the quickest, lowest price, and most efficient for my location. Got a super clean install for an EV charger and can now charge in hours vs overnight. From the estimate to the installation, pleasure to work with.

I am going to make this as short as possible without skimping on the important details. Purchased a home in Forest Park which required some outdoor electrical work to be completed to be in compliance with the Village Inspector's requirements. It is my understanding that this is very basic work and most older homes in the Village require this work upon sale. Hired Kinetic based on recommendation from my agent and Yelp/Facebook/Nextdoor reviews. The prior owner received a quote of $1200 for the work from another company - I sent that estimate to Kinetic and asked if they could match it. They sent out someone to take a look and afterwards quoted me at $1400 via email. I agreed to the $1400 (also via email) as the company was so highly rated and I wanted it to be done correctly. Sequence of events: 1. Work was performed - required the power to be out from 8am to around 5pm on a weekday. 2. Village inspector and Kinetic rep returned to do the post-work inspection. The work failed inspection. I'm not exactly sure how you fail inspection on a routine job. 3. They came back on a Saturday morning to correct the work. Re-inspection occurred 4 days later and it passed. I was told more than once that they would be reducing the bill due to my pain and suffering - having failed inspection and because we had to have our power out for another 3 hours to have the issue corrected. At this point I was still considering a 3/5 review as the rep was very apologetic about this whole mess and came out on a weekend as we are WFH during the week and need power. 4. Received the invoice totaling $1712 due after a $250 "pain and suffering discount". Emailed them back as I'm not sure how $1400 became $1,962 when it was supposed to be less than the original estimate for my trouble. They said they had a conversation with my husband about additional charges? No way in hell that happened. Nonetheless, they said it happened when the in person estimate was made. However, we received the written estimate for $1400 after the in person estimate. Anything that was (or wasn't) discussed should have been reflected in the written estimate. 5. They agreed to $1400 to "put this job behind us" and we paid it so I could be done with the mess as well. I have all of this in writing and I keep meticulous notes on anything that I pay for. I didn't even want to waste any more keystrokes on this, but since I hired them partially based on Yelp reviews, I felt that I needed to share my experience. I am giving them 2 stars only because everyone was pretty pleasant. Just wish it would have turned out better. They also drilled a large screw through my newly-finished porch. No warning on that. Picture attached.

Light fixture

Needed two new light fixtures installed. There was a mix up on schedule but they were able to send someone same day. Issac did a great job and made sure everything back in place.

Typical contractor who doesn't commit. Came for a walk thru for an estimate but no follow up and no estimate.

Ask the Community - Kinetic Energy

Anyone use Kinetic Energy to install heat cable in gutters?

I did not. But I had other work done by them. I would recommend talking to them about this job. I had a great experience when they did work for me. Prompt professional courteous. Good Luck.. Geo.

We experienced several outages in our home due to faulty circuit breakers and Ryan helped us out on…read moreshort notice. He picked up the phone and reassured me that he can come out quickly and address the issue. In fact, he was able to diagnose the root cause over the phone and came prepared to resolve the issues. While fixing the issue, Ryan took the time to help me understand my electrical panel and explained the process of how he was going to fix the issue. After the work was completed, he ensured that there were no ongoing issues and that the work was completed to my satisfaction. At no point did Ryan come off as impatient or made me feel like he was rushing. He completed the fix quickly, but was very thorough in his work (something that comes with experience, practice, and being confident in the work). He was extremely kind and patient as he answered all of my questions. The rate Ryan charged was fair (i.e., no price gouging); especially given the short notice. I am definitely going to be calling on Ryan (no hesitation) for any future work that may require an electrician.

I called Ryan and got a rough quote on installing a new outlet in our old house which has sketchy…read moreelectrical and hidden mysteries behind the walls. Ryan came out promptly the next day when I requested and his work was professional and clean. He explained everything he was doing along the way and left everything just as good as it was when he arrived. His rate was very reasonable and the final job cost was very close to his rough estimate. I'd recommend Ryan for electrical work and would use his services again.
