We had Keeton and Justin out to our house that afternoon and our power restored only about an hour and a half of work later. Their amazing service has earned SAFE a customer for life!

Chris is hands down the best electrician in the Chicagoland area. Being relatively new homeowners,…read morewe've worked with a variety of technicians from multiple major companies and independent electricians, and we now only keep Chris's number saved for electrical issues. Chris has come out to our house multiple times for things as minor as replacing switches to more major troubleshooting issues with our panel. Chris is responsive over the phone. There's no call center to go through. While he's very busy, he has always been able to schedule us at times that are convenient for both of us. Most importantly, he's absolutely trustworthy as far as being able to complete any job we've had. We have an older house, so whenever something pops up that we're unsure of, whether it's a functional issue or safety concern, Chris is able to quickly diagnose the issue and solve it efficiently. He was thorough in inspecting our house and talking through what our electrical system looks like in our house and explaining in plain language why something is happening. I've learned a tremendous amount about our house and electricity in general from his work. The cherry on top is that he is competitively priced for the very high level of expertise that he brings to the table. He's never tried to upsell us and has even talked me out of some work that I've inquired about when it's unnecessary. We've even actually ended up calling him to check work that other electricians have completed when issues have arisen. I can't recommend Chris more at Quality Residential Electric for his knowledge, personability, and fair pricing.

I found Chris via Yelp when I had a wall that start buzzing when I turned on a light switch,…read morecoupled with a three way switch that wasn't behaving normally anymore. No one I knew had any recommendations, so I contacted a few electricians on Yelp because I didn't know where to start. He responded quickly and was EXTREMELY helpful, talking to me on several calls to give an estimate and initial troubleshooting ideas, including suggestions for what to tell my building's engineer in case I opted to have the engineer try to fix it first. He had me send photos of my electrical panel and he mentioned the brand of breakers I had (Challenger) are known to be problematic and hazardous, so he suggested that I have them swapped out when I have the lightswitch fixed. He said my building engineer could probably do it if I preferred that, which would be less expensive. Because my building just changed maintenance/engineering companies earlier this year and I don't really know or trust the new engineer yet, I wanted to have an electrician do this to make sure it was done correctly. I was impressed by his Yelp reviews, Angie's List reviews, and BBB rating, so I hired him. Chris was super easy to work with to schedule the appointment, and he gave me a 2 hour window for when he'd arrive (and as it approached, he called/texted to update me on a more exact ETA). I ended up having him replace all my breakers, and he also replaced the three light switches that were faulty. He also swapped out my hardwired smoke detector, since my old one was past its prime. I pre-purchased the breakers and detector since I had a few days' lead time, so he only charged me for the switches and his time (which was spot-on with the estimate he gave me over the phone). He also went up on my roof when he saw the breaker for my AC unit seemed to not make sense for the size of my apartment, and sure enough it was not what the AC unit sticker said it should be. So he replaced that one with the correct amperage, which reduces the strain on the AC Unit (so it doesn't get damaged) and reduces the risk of a fire. He also found some problems with my building's roof and some building wiring that was exposed up there, which he photographed and sent to me so I could pass it along to the board and management company for them to handle. Chris is a super nice guy, and he was great at explaining what was wrong and what needed to be fixed without upselling me. I'm someone who stresses out about anything home maintenance because I'm terrified of something going tragically wrong, so I appreciated the info he shared. I've already recommended him to my neighbors in our building's facebook group, and I will definitely hire him again for any other electrical work I may need. (I may eventually get my life together and replace some ceiling light fixtures and install a fan. While in theory I could do it myself, I'd rather not accidentally electrocute myself. Plumbing and electric are the two things I don't mess around with, even for simple fixes).

So one day I needed outlets to be in certain designated places of my home. I had just moved in there and I am the type of person who can't wait for anything. I opened the yellow page book and was looking for someone to come out that evening so that I can get the work done asap! I told him I wouldn't be home until 7:00 PM and he said that would be fine! He came out and gave me a free estimate. He gave me my estimate and it was nice. He said that if I wanted to, I can have other electricians come out and look at it if I wanted to and if I would like to call him back for him to do my work, he can. HE ACTUALLY MADE ME FEEL AS IF THERE WAS NO OBLIGATION WHAT SO EVER! NO PEER PRESSURE! Like there was no bs! I did call around though, "just in case" and believe me he saved me at least $150. I called him the next morning and he was doing a job and he would be at my place in 2 hours tops! He did an excellent job and I am so happy that the colorful yellow page caught my eye because I have never met a company that was actually dedicated to their work. And he is 24/7!

The appointment was between 2 and 3. The electrician was to call when they were headed over. No call - and, they showed up. Since they showed up, the office called me and stated they would 'charge me for the visit'. Not... do you want to reschedule or any other civil conversation. I was already suspicious of any company that would charge a set service visit to come out without knowing if they would even do the work. But, their attitude and bad business practices are incredible. I would never do business with this company and would advise the same to anyone else. In my opinion, they are looking to prey on people who need service done during the hot summer months with forced charges for visits and even trying to charge missed appointments.
