I had Wizard come out to install a porch light above my front entrance. They were prompt, arrived at the time schedule, and completed the work efficiently. Professional Quality work On-time Fair price I would highly recommend Wizard for any electrical work needed. Very satisfied with the work they completed. read more

I've tried contacting them several times over the years in regards to various things including bringing them potentially tens of thousands of dollars in extra business from other clients. They have yet to return a single voicemail or email which resulted in that business going to other companies that actually bothered to respond. This is weird because it's the complete opposite of my initial experience 5 years ago. I seriously doubt they've been so busy they haven't been able to communicate with customers for 3+ years. All you have to do is literally just open your email and hit reply. read more

Great work, fair prices, and helpful explanations of what's going on - plus tips/advice - along the way. Easy to schedule and responsive. FYI - used them to replace two light fixtures, investigate one inconsistent light fixture, and install a new overhead fixture where there wasn't one before. read more

Great resppnsivesness and scheduling system, but didn't get what I requested, fix a recurring problem with our exterior lights failing. It needs a compression box, the installer said. Why didn't he put one in? I would be happy to have paid for it. read more

Wizard Electric - Its doesn't seem like this installation could meet city code. - Electricians Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The electrician at Wizard was AMAZING. He solved my cable issue over the phone, without charging me a penny. Using Google earth, he managed to deduce where the cable entered my apartment. Out of pure goodness, he told me what to look for and how to fix the issue myself. He was so good natured and sharp. Wizard is the perfect name for this company because their electricians are magical and honest to a fault. I will use them for every future electrical issue. Thanks for the wonderful service! read more

In a recent windstorm, the pole connecting the power to my house was ripped out by a tree branch. The technicians from Wizard explained what needed to be done in layman's terms, came in the same day, and restored the power. Awesome job! read more

Oof. Hopefully their service gets better before a real estate deal falls through. Wizard came out to my partner's building 10 days ago and completed 90% of the work needed. They told her that they'd be back in a few days to complete the job, and we're still waiting. Communication and expectation setting has been really bad, and the company doesn't really seem to care. They've now told us that we have to wait until a full 14 days after the initial service to have the job completed. The lawyers are hounding us to get the closing scheduled, and now the whole transaction is in jeopardy because of Wizard. I'll revisit my rating if/when they actually complete the job. This has been a horrible experience. UPDATE: They did complete the job, still 13 days after the fact. At this point the sale appears to be going forward, so all is not lost. Still leaving a two-star rating due to our job being bumped to the back of their queue. Poor service. read more

I can't imagine ever calling anyone but Wizard. My very first call to Wizard earned my loyalty as they were incredibly knowledgable and helpful over the phone. We have had switches and outlets replaced and moved, some rewiring and a fan installed by Rob. Rob is really patient and respectful in explaining complicated systems and very thoughtful in his work. For example, he spliced the old pull chain from a fan he was replacing to make our new pull chain long enough that I could reach it! He must have noticed that I'm short and wouldn't have been able to reach it otherwise. That was just such a thoughtful thing to do. I also really have faith in their work. Honestly, they have even talked me out of work I thought I needed, and that makes me trust them even more when they offer recommendations or opinions. However, they are very expensive. With something as important as electricity though, I think the higher price tag is worth it. I'm happy to say we have found our go-to electrician! read more

I called Wizard because I had a few outlets and lights that weren't working. I spoke with the nicest man on the phone and, after giving me an estimate and scheduling a time to come out, he asked me to just check a few things, and walked me through what to look for in my fuse box, etc. We fixed the problem right then over the phone and didn't even need the appointment. He was so kind and helpful! read more

Robert came to my house today and installed a new outlet, put in a new light, upgraded my outdoor lighting, put in new under cabinet lighting in the kitchen, and fixed a burnt out outlet. he did a great job! He was very patient and knowledgeable and answered my many questions. Wizard electric was very easy to work with. I was able to schedule an appointment right away and everyone was very friendly. Highly recommended! read more

Seemed enthusiastic to take the job. Said they were capable and would be excited to give a quote if I had sent them photos. I sent them photos and followed up to make sure they saw it. Gave some pretty good advice (but maybe it's common knowledge in their industry?). I don't know why and hope they don't conduct business like this. They seemed cool and potentially enjoyable to work with but that just left a bad impression of them for me. Glad I did not hire them read more

Wizard Electric installed a wired doorbell for my front door. The quality of work was great and they also gave me a reasonable estimate for some additional work I will get completed (someday!). They also work all the way down in Beverly, which can be a challenge to find someone willing to travel to the southwest side of the city. I'll gladly call Wizard Electric the next time my 100+ year old Chicago bungalow needs some electrical work completed. read more

Excellent service, efficient, responsive. They were great about squeezing me into their schedule quickly. No hidden fees or funny business. Great experience. read more

Needed an outlet rewired, and a light switch replaced. They got the work done in a half hour. Would recommend.

I was selling a 3 flat in Bridgeport, Chicago and the buyers inspector pointed out a number of electrical problems. They came out very promptly during the pandemic (April 2020) and corrected the code violations and other problems for a reasonable fee. Unlike many electricians on Yelp, they are Chicago licensed so their work gave the buyers confidence that the job was done right. Definitely would use again! read more

Tom is truly a wizard -- providing not only dependable electrical contracting but also a wealth of knowledge about how homes (especially old ones) work top to bottom. Highly recommended. read more

Writing to share my favorable experience with Wizard. Tom came out to do a pre-purchase evaluation of our home-to-be last year. My wife and I very much appreciated his honest, no-bs opinion of the electrical situation, and it helped in our negotiations with the seller. When we needed some actual work done last month, all the quotes came in pretty high, but Wizard seemed the best. Unlike the other electricians, Wizard's rate is based on time. I had some trepidation with a time-based rate, since 1) the rate isn't cheap and 2) I have no idea how long a job should take. I watched Robert work and he seemed quick, efficient, and professional. His work was completed more quickly than estimated, so we came in under budget. 100% recommend the Wizard team for any electrical work! read more

We wanted to put a ceiling fan in our living room where we didn't think there was a box. We had two other individuals come look at it and tell us how'd they have to dig through the walls and what not. Called Wizard and over the phone they said their is most likely a box up there just covered over and the wiring should be in place. BOOM! They were right. The tech found the center of the room and put his screw driver into the ceiling right where the wiring was. He ran new wires and completed a bunch of other tasks we had. The tech was great and explained everything perfectly. Will definitely call again when we need electrical work done. read more

Blizzard called me back right away, even during a heatwave, and were courteous. Left message. I think that is an excellent start. Keep up the great work! read more

Rob was extremely knowledgeable about older buildings and all the peculiar quirks they have. He also don't bat an eye when he fixed all the old electric work I had done by folks who were decent electricians but not the best suited for my 100-year-old building. I saved up a half dozen jobs and then had Wizard address all of the problems (and a few new installations) at once. Now the back half of the building isn't a big convoluted electrical mess and I have new circuits. It was a long day, but I finally had the right electrician. I will definitely use Rob and Wizard again read more

Perfect. Needed someone to run me some extra circuits to my attached garage so I can use my welder and air compressor. I didn't want to bust up the finished drywall and ceiling to do so. Rob had a perfect way to do. Everything was fine, neat, and processionals. Prices was reasonable too. The only thing that could Have been better is if Rob used booties on his shoes so no mud would be tracked in the house. Despite this, the service still deserves 5 stars. It was a little mess to clean up so nothing major. Would continue to use this company for future electrical needs. read more

My husband and I are very happy we chose Wizard to rewire our 1923 bungalow! Rob and Tom are both so knowledgeable and experienced - and willing to share all they know with you! They answered all our questions, every step of the way. They are both kind and we enjoyed having them in our home. read more

I had Wizard Electric scope my bungalow electric project and was dismayed/floored when the rep insisted that they would have to tear out all of our old plaster walls and ceilings in order to complete the work. And then proceeded to talk to me very condescendingly. Yes, I am a woman. A woman who owns a Sawzall, table saw, and has her very own shop. So, when it is assumed that I just shouldn't worry my pretty little head about the details? I tend to get my hackles up. We ended up going with an electrician who deftly and artistically did just enough surgery on our old plaster to get the job completed with the least amount of damage. So, know I NOW what I needed can be done, which is just what I suspected. read more

I had power go out in parts of my very old home. Rob came out and thoroughly looked for the problem and even went into the very hot attic to find it. Problem with loose connection was fixed and I am very pleased with the work. read more

We needed a lot of work done on all three floors of the house we bought recently. Wizard was great with scheduling, execution, doing what needed to be done and nothing more at a fair price. We will definitely work with them again. read more

We've used Wizard for a number of electrical jobs on our bungalow and they always come through with great work. There's never a big sell or pushing for contracts and the price is within reach. This time Rob fixed a closet light, and installed a motion light on my back porch. I casually asked if he could reattach an electric baseboard heater on an enclosed porch - no problem. Rob was great - arrived on time, went straight to work, and was out the door 1.5 hours later. Everything was clean. Recommendation? 6 stars! Thanks, Wizard and Rob! read more

Wizard Electric has helped out with multiple projects for my school over the past few years. I find their service department, Tom more specifically, to be knowledgeble, friendly, and above all available. I of course only call when I have an issue and Tom makes it a point to come out as quickly as he can and do what he can on every call. I find their work to be well executed and even though I know they must be busy with other clients, they never make me feel that way. So glad we found Wizard Electric! read more

Great service, on time, and resolved the issue quickly. I will use Wizard Electric for all electrical needs

If you can and if they can send him--ASK FOR ROB!! He's a great guy and personable. Easy to talk to and does great work! They sent him out the first time I called and scheduled--which they responded to my request same day and Rob was out the next day! We recently bought a rehabbed house in Albany Park (from a rehab/investment group) and we found SOOOOOOOO many corners that were cut and one of them was that the HVAC had spliced electricity and not it's own--and there was no power switch on the outside machine (had a box--but nothing in it) so Rob got that all squared away and was honest with me on all the things electric that were incorrect and advised me the breaker panel was out of date as well--so I am so very thankful for the information he and his boss gave me--they even went the extra mile to check permits and make sure all was well and educated me on electric permits and work...just wish I would've known them before we bought the house haha! So I liked Rob so much I requested him to come swap out some chandeliers and hang some new ones and he came out the next week to do that and everything is perfect. Now I have to use them again for some outdoor electrical work...honestly--CALL NO ONE ELSE--because these guys literally are wizards (just no capes or wands hahaha) read more

Rob was on time and did a great job. Diagnosed problem within 5 minutes, fixed what was wrong. Very courteous and professional. I would highly recommend and Wizard Electric now is my go to for repairs. read more

Wizard Electric is a very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful company. Initially I did not have an electrician. I had called several electricians who did not reply to my phone message. I found Wizard online and they responded to my call right away and said they could help me today and gave me a time slot during which they could come. I called them because the power was out in my garage and I couldn't find a fuse box in the garage to reset. A very helpful electrician, Tom, on the phone, talked me through locating outlets and power sources in my garage and then told me how to reset the power so my electricity in the garage was successfully restored. I will DEFINITELY call them for any other electrical needs I may have. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND Wizard Electric!!! read more

Awesome service! Had a small electrical issue at my bar, he came out in 20 minutes and fixed it. Thanks!

Great service and very knowledgeable family-owned company. Tom took my call after 5pm and came out the following morning to fix an issue we had with several flickering lights. He explained exactly what went wrong with the breakers and was an all-around nice guy. read more

Rob was great; he was courteous, professional and very efficient. I was having issues with my circuit and he changed out my outlets that were causing the issues. read more

Had an outlet issue in my apartment and called Wizard Electric. I was able to speak with an electrician right away and one was at my place fixing the outlet the next day! Great service for an affordable price. read more

5 STARS!!!! I created a dead short by touching a hot wire in in my outlet box and was lucky to reach Tom on the phone he helped diagnose the problem as the entire house lost power and nothing tripped in the breaker not good. Tom was able to talk me through it and we found another breaker by the meter outside I reset it and the power came back on. Tom was a life saver getting my weekend back on track without costing a ton of $$$. Thanks so much Tom... read more

I called Wizard when the power to my condominium was inexplicably out. The knowledgable and friendly technician asked me some questions and walked me through resetting a main breaker near the meter. I would not have been able to do this alone, and I'm grateful that they were willing to help without even profiting. Thank You! read more

I had Wizard Electric Upgrade my service and all new electric in my kitchen, What a great job they did, Not only where they clean but very professional about the way they work, They were very enjoyable to work with and answered all my questions. I would use them again and also recommend them to anyone else read more

Found this company via Yelp and ended up being very impressed. A technician came out within three hours of our call (in the two hour window they quoted) and quickly resolved our issue. Will definitely call again. read more

I called WE on a Friday to have a ceiling fixture installed. Rob came in on Monday morning and had it done in 90 minutes. It was quick and clean and well done. Rob is personable and did not talk to me condescendingly like many specialists tend to do to lay people. It is somewhat expensive - $160 for the first half hour - but I guess this is what this kind of thing costs nowadays. read more
