They did what they did well. HOWEVER--and this is an enormous however: They charged us a "minimum"…read more$800 fee to come out and fix the electric, which had gone out, in the garage. This is a red flag, but they had done major work on our house years ago, so we went with it. They showed up on time, spent five minutes tightening a wire, got the electric to turn on, and then asked if there was anything else they could do, as they were charging us the full fee. We had them check out a few things we could think of, and they were gone within an hour. You might think, as we did, that that was pricey, but the job got done? NO. five days later, the electric in the garage is out again. We call and they send an estimate with Zeroes in the fee lines, so we OK their return. That morning, a technician comes and asks us how er'e going to pay. Turns out they want to charge us another $800. We called another company, which found the root problem and charged us $200 to fix it. Lesson learned. By the way, the well-praised Todd, who used to be our electrician, no longer works for them.

It is hard to find honest, reliable contractors, and Corb Electric is one of the best. We moved to…read morethe North Shore a few years ago, and our realtor referred us to them. Since then, they have been excellent to work with. They are responsive, timely, and consistently do high-quality work. If something is not quite right, they make it right. No job feels too big or too small, and they offer great value for the quality of service they provide. I would absolutely recommend Corb Electric. We have used them for light fixtures, chandeliers, switches, fuses, brand new lighting installations, new wiring, nest camera installations, nest doorbell installations. Everything has been flawless.

We've used Corb for so many different electrical needs over the years--you name it, it broke--and…read moreevery time we were completely satisfied with their work.

We hired North Shore Electric to design and install a gutter and downspout de-icing system. Despite…read morethe system being powered on, the downspouts freeze solid, water backs up, and ice pools at the base--creating a serious safety hazard. We raised this issue last winter and again this year, and each time our concerns were dismissed, with blame placed on us despite the system being turned on well in advance of freezing conditions. We are now being told that their 10-year "warranty" only covers the cable itself, not evaluating whether the system is functioning properly or was correctly designed. In other words, if the system fails to do its basic job, we still have to pay them just to tell us why. What is the point of a warranty if the company refuses to stand behind system performance or take responsibility for obvious design failures? Between the unsafe conditions, refusal to investigate without charging high fees, and repeated deflection, this experience has been extremely disappointing. We would not recommend this company. It's clear that once they receive their nearly $5,000 payment, customer support ends.

We had a great experience with AC/DC Electrical Construction and Stefan. He upgraded our service…read morefrom 100 to 200 amps, inside/outside grounding, new meter box with new wiring, new panel box, breakers, and even installed a new switch for our door lights. Stefan was awesome to work with -- quick to respond, on time, and super clear with communication. Pricing was straightforward and very reasonable, and there was no pressure or upselling, which we really appreciated. Our house had some really old electrical/conduit, and the finished work (both inside and outside at the electrical box) looks so clean and tidy. He even called me before leaving to ask where he could find a broom so he could sweep up. That level of care and pride in the job says it all. We'll definitely be calling Stefan again for smaller projects and eventually, when we're ready to add EV charging. Highly recommend!

From the first call to the final inspection, everything was smooth and professional. The technician Doru was knowledgeable, punctual, and clearly experienced with EV charger installations. He helped us determine the best placement, made sure everything was up to code, and left the work area clean and organized. The installation looks great and works perfectly. They also made sure the installation met all ComEd EV Charger and Installation Rebate Program requirements and provided all the proper documentation we needed so we were able to successfully receive our ComEd rebate without any issues. If you're considering a Tesla charger installation, I highly recommend CM Electric. Reliable, efficient, and great to work with.

I found Howard through Yelp, and he was available and at once agreed to show up. He came, analyzed the situation, and figured out the root cause. There was some lack of information on my end regarding wiring layouts in my house, but he figured it out by himself. Then he went on to fix the problem. While he was fixing the root cause, he also pointed out what was the issue in depth, what caused the outage, etc. He's a great guy with 40+ years of experience in this field. He claims to have done big projects as well. His experience was evident in the work he did and the way he approached the problem. I would highly recommend him if you are considering an electrician for your issues.

I strongly advise against hiring Alambre Electric. Our experience was deeply frustrating and…read moreultimately led to legal action. We signed a contract for $16,000, expecting a professional and reliable service. At the start, there were 2-3 workers on site, but they soon stopped showing up regularly. When I asked for updates, I received vague and inconsistent explanations. Work resumed sporadically, but progress remained minimal. There were also serious concerns about professionalism. Workers were smoking in our basement and around the property, and empty beer cans were frequently left behind. This created an uncomfortable and unacceptable environment in our home. Despite having already paid more than half of the contract upfront, the team completed only about a quarter of the agreed-upon work. At that point, the owner demanded an additional $5,000 and stated they would walk off the job if we refused. When we referred back to the signed contract, he began disputing items that were clearly included--such as the electric stove and cooktop--even though we had documentation and prior discussions confirming this. After being presented with proof, he shifted his reasoning, citing increased costs and business expenses. Those are not the customer's responsibility. We ultimately involved the City's Department of Building and Electrical in an effort to resolve the situation. While the work completed met code requirements, the broader dispute remains unresolved. The owner attempted to deflect blame by mischaracterizing our conduct, which was both inaccurate and disappointing. This situation has now escalated into a civil case as we pursue recovery of our funds. If you value reliability, transparency, and professionalism, I recommend looking elsewhere. Based on our experience, this is not a company I would trust with my home.

Stay away from this company unless you want to be ripped off. Jonathan leaves his inexperienced…read moreworker unattended. We had a very detailed contract, but Jonathan figured he would try to squeeze more money out of us because his workers were costing him to much. We caught them smoking weed at the worksite, arriving late , and several mistakes where done. It's not the client responsibility to keep the employees in check and if they cost you more than you calculate - don't try to extort your client, own up to it and be a business owner. When Jonathan couldn't extort more money, he decided to leave the project in a very bad condition and not return to finish anything. We had several electricians come by to try to finish his job and many refusing even giving a quote due poor craftsmanship done by Alambre's crew. We have a ton of documentation backing our claims and poor craftsmanship done. Stay away from this company if you're doing any home / residential work - as they will try to scam you, even with a detailed contract, several site inspections and calls with architects on the scope.
