After months of being ghosted or overquoted by other electricians in Chicago, finding Highlights…read moreChicago was a total game-changer. I needed several installs pendant lights, a ceiling fan, and vanity lights but most companies either dragged their feet on quotes or gave me "I don't want to do this" pricing. One competitor, Mr. Mighty Electric, quoted me 3x the rate and charged a trip fee just to look at the place! Boz (the owner) was a true professional from the start. He came out for a walkthrough the same week I called, took detailed notes, and was incredibly respectful (he even took his shoes off without being asked). He promised a quote the next day and delivered a very reasonable, detailed estimate. On installation day, Boz arrived on time with three workers, gave them a clear game plan, and specifically instructed them to minimize wall damage to save me from extra painting. The crew was fantastic they checked in with me on heights for the fan and pendants before finalizing anything. They worked for 8 hours and the result was outstanding. I was so happy with the quality that I tipped the whole crew. If you want fair pricing and high quality work, call Highlights. I'll be using them for every future project!

Will definitely be going with Blacklite Electric when I need an electrician in the future, highly recommended.

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).

I called one electric company and before they even looked at it they said i was overloaded and wanted me to upgrade my panel. I knew i wasn't overloaded. I called John and we started texting, he asked several questions and he had an idea of what the problem was. I sent him photos of my panel and he quoted me before coming out. He texted me later on that he was available and he came out. Within 20 minutes he was done. I went from a $2,000 quote to a $180 repair (including parts). Its been two months and everything is working great. He took the time and explained everything to me while working and why he was doing it. Obviously, he likes to inform his customers which I really like. He answered all my questions and provided a complete answer which left me feeling comfortable with his work after he left. I take electrical work very seriously and I don't trust anybody who doesn't seem to have answers or doesn't like to be questioned. A lot of people don't like that he texts, its different but obviously he prefers it and it works, so I didn't mind. He asks what he needs to know and gets back to you when he can. There was a gap between the texts but i had patience and he came through in the end. He's my go to guy for electrical work going forward.

They showed up and resolved the issue (caused by a tenant) and they didn't even charge her! I did not hesitate to hire them for electrical and plumbing work at my house. They upgraded my panel to 200 amps, installed an electric tankless water heater, installed a 100 amp sub-panel in my garage, installed a level 2 EV charger, ran a 240V circuit for an electric stove and installed a water line connection for a fridge. They even installed an oudoor outlet and light fixture for a cat shelter at no additional charge. They are a family owned business with many years of experience, they do great work, they are very professional and they happen to be wonderful people. I can't say enough good things about them.

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.
