Quality Residential Electrical

(117 reviews)

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).

CM Electric provided outstanding customer service from start to finish, and I highly recommend this…read morecompany. Kate and Mike were wonderful to work with. They offered quick, very reasonable quotes, and the entire job was completed efficiently and with great attention to detail. We needed a Tesla charger installed, and Kate handled everything for us, including the permitting process. Cook County permits can take forever, but she stayed on top of every step. She followed up continuously, made sure our permit was accepted, and guided the project from the initial application all the way to the final inspection. She always responded quickly to my messages and emails, which I really appreciated. This level of professionalism and support is hard to find. I highly recommend CM Electric for any electrical work you need, and I plan to keep in touch with them for all my future electrical projects.

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.

They were very timely in arriving on the window they provided me a week ago. Technician wore his protective face mask and was very professional. After calling around to most of the electricians on Tesla's website for the home charge installation, Rein Electric had both the most convenient schedule for me and had the best pricing. I will definitely use Rein again if I have an electrical need.

Hired them to troubleshoot a conduit that had no power that had a dimmer to control the track…read morelighting stick in the Living Room. I multi'd the wires and definitively confirmed there was no power at the dimmer conduit. I advised the Tech in advance at the time of booking the service call. He spent over an hour troubleshooting. He fished it to a conduit in the Kitchen where the Ceiling Fan was connected and reported the root cause of no power was a poor slice in the Ceiling Fan conduit box and said he repaired it. He then reinstalled the new dimmer I had previously installed. Quickly packed up, settled the commercials and and was wasting no time heading out and I asked him if he multi-d the Dimmer and Track Conduit to confirm the boxes had functional power and he said yes and that the problem now was that I had a faulty Track Stick. I then questioned him as to why there was no power indicators lit on the Lutron Dimmer. He stated that it was because the Track Stick was faulty and needed to be replaced. I bought and installed a new track stick today only to find the Cans still didn't light up nor the dimmer switch and reconfirmed again the root cause was again the same problem reported from the onset. I uninstalled the Dimmer Multi'd the Conduit and confirmed again the conduit still had no power. He never resolved the issue. Further, I asked him for his business card only to find out that he took it upon himself to put his company sticker on my Breaker Box without my advance consent. I then called him to tell him there was still no power and he said no worries he will come on Monday. I told him I was disappointed and why I need to wait till Monday as I didn't wait to pay him for his services on Friday. He then address me as Dude told me he doesn't work 24/7 and that he is practicing drums with his band and he could just give me back my money. No evidence of empathy or accountability for the poor workmanship. So I agreed to take the refund and he Zelle'd me back my money right away. When he was on site reinstalling the new Lutron Dimmer Switch I'd just bought he was going to leave without installing the cover. I asked him where the new cover was I just bought that wasn't even open. He look puzzled and then went to his tool bag where he took it upon himself to put my new cover in his tool bag and said he thought it was his and thought it had previously fallen out. I found that puzzling as well. He did say we had a faulty wall outlet and replaced it pro bono. That was a kind an unsolicited gesture. Not sure how they make their money with this type of service. Perhaps it was an anomaly but what is clear, I will never use or refer these folks to anyone.
