Expensive especially compared to others who do similar work, however efficient and able to install new wiring and ceiling fans effectively

This has to be one of the Worst Electrical Contractors in the Chicago area. Very Expensive for the work they want to do. All they do is almost force an up grade for even simple tasks. Just to show up is about $100, then the High Pressure to have many more things needed before they start that simple task. Over $900 to just replace a Bathroom GFCI in a newer condo. Found a local handy man that replaced in 15 minutes. Warning! Almost all Positive reviews on here are NOT real. Shill posts and fake accounts. Wish I did more research before wasting $100 on this Rip-off Company. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Andrea was very pleasant when I set up appointment and she sent reminder of time scheduled.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Dan arrived on time and was efficient and explained what he needed to do. Dan even checked if I have any other electrical problems before he left. I will call Arnold Electric again when needed. read more

I received an estimate from the Arnold technician saying that swapping out eight switches could take most of the work day and the cost would be $1447. Not being an electrician I had no idea how long it would take. It took less than 90 minutes. The company refused to charge me anything less than $1447 which works out to more than $900 an hour. read more

I hired Arnold Electrical Services to install two exterior lights on my property, one front, one back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their team was a pleasure to work with, from John in sales, to the office staff, to Dan the technician (who was very respectful of my property)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would recommend utilizing their services for any home owner who wishes to ensure quality services and craftsmanship are a part of their job. Arnold is not the least expensive option, but this is an instance where the customer service and support justifies the price. I will be using their services again when electrical upgrades are required. read more

I needed an updated outlet for an electric range for my home and Tony Wilburn came out to do an assessment and estimate. I would highly recommend. He was on time, professional, and efficient. It's a small thing but I also really appreciate how he had shoe covers on. The overall process took about 90 minutes for a 2 flat apartment (2 units). [[HIGHLIGHT]]I appreciate Tony's transparency, ability to explain what's going on, and friendly attitude.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also gave a few options based on my priority of things to get done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It didn't feel like he was trying to gouge me or upsell problems, which I appreciate. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also like how Arnold's is overall pretty tech friendly in terms of communication and scheduling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had trouble trying to figure out how to reschedule and needed to call, but not too bad.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had an AI scheduler/customer service that was honestly a bit hard to work with for rescheduling but pretty cool to see it implemented.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had to call a few times to speak with a person to reschedule/cancel an appointment time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Arnold did a terrific job replacing two fixtures in our closet. Of course, these things tend to be more complex than expected, but Sam handled the installation with no problem. He also took away the old fixtures and fluorescent tubes, saving me a lot of trouble. Be sure to use them . JimF. read more

Professional and courteous. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Prompt scheduling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great price. Solved our issue. Highly recommended!

I had them come over to my condo in Downtown Chicago to "diagnose" a problem with a circuit breaker tripping. A few weeks prior, I had a microwave installed. The installer drilled a hole into the wall, damaging the wire, so I already knew what the problem was. I explained this to the Arnold Electrical technician who came to assess the situation. They charged me $149 for the assessment, which was refundable if I proceeded with their service. The problem was that he gave me a quote of $1,672 to rewire between two switches, which I found ridiculously expensive. I paid the $149 assessment fee, and he left. I found another company that fixed the issue for me the next day for $300. Cut the story short: Arnold Electrical Services are fraudsters... [[HIGHLIGHT]]P.S. I left a Google review for them, and they responded a couple of days later saying that customer satisfaction is very important and that I could email them with my concern.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I did, but I haven't received any response, and it's been several days now.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Thank you to Sam for doing a great job. I am so appreciative -- he was knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and neat. I'm so happy to have found my "go to" electrical expert. Many thanks, Sam. Betty Chicago read more

Sam came out to perform a Good Neighbor annual assessment & install a new light fixture. Again I was impressed with the electrical knowledge & providing answers to our questions. He took the time to ensure everything was addressed. And he installed the fixture quickly with no issues. We'll continue to call on Arnold Electric when we have further jobs. read more

We needed a second opinion for electrification of our HVAC and Derek Hilgenberg came to model the system for our home. He listened carefully to our ideas and helped us weigh the options and limits of our system, and we came away more confident in our plans. We love to work with Derek and Arnold Electrical Services. read more

Called for service on overloaded lines and possible breaker issues. They quoted me $1200 to assess issue plus another $4000 for any work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I almost started having convulsions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Finally got ahold of my old electrician found the problem was 2 hot lines on one outlet and neutral line burnt off which was overloading the other lines on that breaker. The repair was $200 not $5200. I would never trust these guys they wanted $1200 just to even assess the issue. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm kinda shocked the yelp reviews were good but not to get scammed $5000.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Why construction people get a bad rap. read more

From start to finish they were great. Jon came out to quote. He was great. The 2 electricians sent out were fantastic. It was nice to have professional, friendly, punctual electricians. I would use them again in a heartbeat. read more

Excellent service from assessment to completion. The technicians were very professional and kept us informed on the project. We would highly recommend Arnold Electric. read more

I highly recommend Arnold Electrical Services for any electrical work you need. I recently had a sump pump placed in my crawl space, but had no electrical outlets in the space that this could be plugged into. I was recommended to use Arnold Electrical Services by the company that did the sump pump installation. After contacting them, I had a service rep named Robert Aguilar come out and go over a full inspection, coming up with a plan for the installation, as well a few minor code issues that he could repair. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The appointment was scheduled right there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When Robert came back out, he performed exactly what was expected, and did so in a timely fashion. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a billing issue that I did not catch right away, but upon calling the office, this was immediately fixed with no hassle.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, this was a smooth transaction with a fair price, all done properly. If you need a reliable electrician, Arnold Electrical Services is a great option. TL;DR: Arnold Electrical Services offers a great service at a fair price. read more

These guys are great! Fast service, everything done perfectly and [[HIGHLIGHT]]really nice guys to deal with[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

As part of my EV purchase, I got a free charger and through Hyundai they recommended Arnold Electrical to do the work. I quickly got an appointment for a quote and he was thorough, easy to talk to and gave me tips for the install. The electrician who came to do the install was excellent, I felt very comfortable working with him and he made sure to communicate with me when he ran into a snag and we quickly decided to go in a different direction. He worked quickly and thoroughly and I have been able to use my charger with no concerns the last 6-7 months. I would highly recommend working with Arnold and I wouldn't hesitate to give them my business again in the future. read more

Arnold Electric completed an almost total re-wire of my 100-year-old bungalow; there were many surprises due to questionable remodeling by the former homeowners, but the team at Arnold was never daunted by the challenge and always offered clear explanations and effective solutions. From my first phone contact to the last invoice, the service was excellent. They provided consistent communication of the progress, left the areas clean at the end of each day, and made every effort to reduce the impact to my everyday life. The crew (Jeff, Sam, Tony, etc) deserve extra kudos for accommodating the house pets! I would highly recommend this company for any electrical services, and won't hesitate to use them again. read more

We have used Arnold Electric on two occasions. Both times they were excellent. On August 9 2024 Jon, Nick, and Carlos came out to our house. They came to install new can lights in our 1st floor living room. After introducing themselves the explained the work they were there to perform. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Since there was no attic access they informed us that they would need to make cuts in the ceiling to run the electrical wiring for the can lights.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Before they started they took precautions to protect the floor and furniture. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They asked our input on the placement of the can lights and got to work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The can lights look fantastic !! They change the whole "feel" of the room. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The repair of the ceiling cuts is our responsibility but well worth it, they gave us a list of contractors to get estimates for the repair.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After they finished the installation they cleaned up so you couldn't tell they were even there. We were so pleased with the lights that we had them come out again on August 20 and 21st to install the can lights in our dining room, kitchen , and 2nd floor hallway (Attic access, no additional holes to run wire) This time Jeff, Sam, Carlos and Alex came out. While Jeff rewired the parts that had the old cloth wires, Sam, Carlos, and Alex worked on the can lights. As before they protected the work area and sought our input on can light placement. As before they needed to make holes in the 1st floor rooms to run wiring. The lights are great. When the ceiling are repaired we are having the rooms repainted. They really bring value to the house. We should have done this sooner. The cost was reasonable and the work excellent. We are planning future projects for the house and will use Arnold electric again. Highly recommended. read more

Great company to work with, highly recommended. It is rare nowadays to find a no-BS, trustworthy company. This is certainly one of those few. Derek was easy to work with and provided a fair quote for my EV charger installation. His son, Brady, installed it and I was so happy with the results; I even called them back to install another charger. This time, Sam installed it and also did a great job. I am glad to have found these guys and will continue to work with them on all my electrical projects moving forward. read more

Arnold Electric did a great job. Staff were competent and friendly. First electrician was running late so Tim came over with two young technicians, Brady and another. My new line was request was upgraded to a 220 V line with ease and the boys upgraded my fuse box to code. Tim installed a new under cabinet light in the kitchen. We enjoyed good conversation. So pleased to see young people in the trades. Tim took the time to look up window air conditioners to verify electric need. Brady concured with BTU info. I would highly recommend this company. My son originally recommended Arnold Electric when they installed new line from outside pole to his house. read more

Responsive, knowledgeable and reasonable is how I'd describe this company in a nutshell. I've been a highly satisfied customer of Arnold Electric since the business consisted of the owner and his wife working out of their home. Their work is impeccable and their technicians are honest and personable. They have always given me an estimate on work needing to be done before starting. Last problem I had was on the weekend of 7/4 after the 6"+ downpour on 7/2. The business was closed for the holiday, but one of their electricians called me back in just a few minutes and walked me through an easy solution over the phone. Highly recommend. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Tony Wilburn was the electrician sent by Arnold yesterday. He was on time and took his time[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. He went over my whole house and gave a better inspection than when we bought the house. Explained issues and recommendations, code changes, problems with previous work. There was no pressure to make any changes, but he provided me with a thorough report with estimates. Then he got to the work I had called them out for. He took care of those problems and I was very happy with the quality of his work. Will use again!! read more

From start to finish, Arnold Electric is by far the most professional, service oriented, and knowledgeable electrical services company I've dealt with. We renovated our kitchen and there were a ton of moving parts. We are very happy with the results- you will be too read more

Highly recommend Arnold Electrical. John and Yaro were both knowledgeable, friendly, and delivered exactly what they promised. Very happy with the work! read more

We've been a highly satisfied customer of Arnold Electrical Service for many years, Thankyou Tony from Arnold Electrical for a fabulous job hanging my new lights. Earlier we contacted Arnold to install new boxes after we tore down our porch ceiling and later come back to install our new lights after it was completed. Arnold has always been my "go to" for electrical service. read more

Another great job finished today by Arnold Electrical. Tony took down my ceiling fan and installed my new fan and a wall control switch. I'm sure that the many jobs I've had Arnold do are small on their scale of work but each one of the electricians that have been to my home take such great care to make sure that ceiling mounts are perfectly flush, shades are put on correctly and that I have the proper light bulbs. I always feel that no job is too small for them. A couple of years ago they even figured out what kind of light I could use to replace a very very old front porch light that also was in a very very odd location. After Tony was finished today he explained how the wall controller worked, had me check the work to make sure I was satisfied and made sure that the room he was working in was left in good order. Thanks for the good work Tony! read more

Arnold Electric just completed a large project at our house, all in one day. Mike, Tony and Albert were very professional and friendly. It's clear that they're experts at their craft. They had creative ideas to run electrical through our finished basement without creating any damage that we would need to repair or cover up. Arnold was not the cheapest estimate we got, but I think the quality of their work was well worth the money! read more

Easy scheduling, prompt service, extremely nice electricians! Maybe a little expensive, but I wanted to ensure we had good electricians as I live in a high rise. They were able to address all my concerns and put up a fairly heavy fixture for me. read more

Back when I was young & brave, I'd do my own electrical work (while holding the B&D book in one hand). Since then, I've wanted a "professional" job done ... as it would be visible to prospective home buyers some day in the future. I've hired Arnold Electric twice now to add outlets to our basement. Both times, they started with a "check-up" of all the service points in our house. Both times the electrician was professional, arrived on time, and did top-notch work! And both times I was happy with the results. If I ever need an electrician again (perhaps to install a car charger in my garage), then Arnold Electric will be my first choice. read more
