After months of being ghosted or overquoted by other electricians in Chicago, finding Highlights Chicago 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! read more

Highlights Chicago exceeded my expectations. They were responsive, thorough and did what they said they were going to do. I don't reside in Chicago where I have property so communication was essential. Highlights Chicago was quick and effective in responding to my inquiries and issues. Boz patiently answered my many questions. Each phase of the job was videotaped to show me their progress. (Electrical panel replaced for six unit apartment building) It should be noted that this was no small job. I couldn't help but notice how they cleaned the work area at the end of each day. Hopefully, I won't need such a big job in the future. Just knowing that I have such a remarkable company to rely on, Highlights Chicago will certainly get my repeat business, big or small. read more

I called this morning at 8:00am regarding a bathroom light switch that broke over the weekend. I was able to quickly get an appointment scheduled for 2:00-4:00 today. I sent a picture of the broken switch. The electrician arrived at 2:03pm with the new switch and we were done by 2:10pm. So fast!! It was a great experience for me, and I'd definitely call them again for any future electrical needs! read more

I had an excellent experience with Highlights Chicago from start to finish. Boz came out for the initial inspection and provided a detailed, well-written proposal for my HOA board. Out of the four proposals I received, theirs was not only the most professional but also the most fairly priced. On installation day, the team showed up early, worked efficiently, and was minimally disruptive throughout the process. The quality of work was outstanding--they left everything spotless, as if no work had ever been done, except now I have a perfectly installed EV charger. A huge shoutout to Cristobal and Cesar for their precision and professionalism in getting the install done right the first time. Everything about this experience was smooth, transparent, and reliable. I would absolutely recommend Highlights Chicago to anyone looking for electrical work or EV charger installation. read more

after getting several quotes from a few electricians Highlights Chicago were most reasonable. And after reading reviews I asked them for a quote. I hired them same day. They sent Victor and Oscar and they were Great throughout the whole kitchen remodel. I would Definitely recommend and use them again. read more

Highlights Chicago once again was an absolute stellar experience! Every call I made was answered promptly - no voice mail or frustrating menus. Spoke with both Anna and Niki from initial appt set-up to bill payment. They were always courteous and patient and knowledgeable. Boz came out to complete the proposal and was thorough and easy to work with. He answered all my questions and took the time to explain things in a way that a non-electrical person like myself understood. The work was promptly completed by Kaplan and Gerardo. They were on time and immediately set-up and went through the details on how they would proceed. They brought a contractor trash bag and kept all work areas clean and all boxes, pieces, wire was cleaned up. I will never use another company for electrical work because of the AWESOME and professional way they run their business and complete their work. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Highlights Chicago! I got a number of quotes for the installation of an EV charger in my detached garage. The work would require running a pipe through our unfinished basement, and then trenching so it could run underground and to the garage. Highlights came back with the most affordable quote. Other quotes I received were twice as much. They walked me through the work in detail to explain what needed to be done and answered all my questions. Once I booked them, they were able to come out the very next week. They finished the work by 1 pm and you could barely tell the yard had been dug up. The EV charger was perfectly stalled and the quality of the work was excellent. I am so impressed and appreciative that I could get such great work done for an affordable cost. I will definitely be using the Highlights team in the future! read more

This company is by far the best I've worked with since I bought my house. Boz is very professional, intelligent, & helpful. Him and his team were all hard workers and had a clean install with my Tesla car charger. You can tell they care about doing excellent work and making you happy. They worked outdoors even in cold conditions. The best part is they are very reasonable with their prices compared to competitors in the area. I'm definitely hiring them again for anything electrical in the future! Don't think twice. Hire these guys Asap! read more

I find that it's not easy to find good service providers in downtown Chicago, but Boz and Highlights Chicago are certainly among the best! I needed to install a Tesla EV charger connected to my building's grid and have an submeter to track energy consumption. While others were quoting exorbitant prices or even deeming the project impossible, Boz made the discussions very straightforward and provided a reasonable quote. The team provided the required certificate of liability insurance on the same day I requested, I got the project approved by my building's association and had the installation scheduled. The execution was on point! The team arrived at the exact time scheduled, with everything they needed and perfectly installed my charger as requested, all with proper care, safety and cleanliness. Shout out to Boz, Iva, Kaplan, Gerardo, Cristian and Matthew, a super team of super experts! I'll definitely recommend their services to others in my building and friends. read more

Contacted Boz from Highlights Chicago for an emergency repair of the outlet our stacked full size washer/dryer were plugged into - inconveniently located behind the stacked washer/dryer! Boz brought two other electricians with him and they carefully dragged the washer/dryer out of the closet w/o damaging our wood floors. They relocated the GFCI outlet to a more accessible place so this scenario wouldn't happen again. Their work was efficient, neat and the price was very reasonable. Would definitely hire them again for any future electrical needs. read more

I had a very complicated project to put a new EV charger in a 200+ unit in River North. Nobody had done it before, and it was challenging to create a new 208V line going from the 5th floor garage to my parking spot on the 3rd floor. Especially, when the building is 100% concrete. After getting proposals from 7 Electrical vendors (AMS, T&D, Sims & Sons, Skyline, John's, Highlights, AC/DC). Highlights was the most responsive (answering calls, replying emails, site visits, providing insurance/license info) and the most reasonable price. Boz and his crew of 4 people showed up, did a fantastic job with the wiring, 1 inch pipes, circuit cutoff switch, and installation of my Wallbox. They showed up on time and gave me an accurate time of completion. I was able to charge my car 5 minutes after they left. Thanks Boz and team, and Anna for administrative things. Will hire them again! read more

This company had great availability when scheduling the service and arrived within the requested window. Our technician diagnosed the problem in just a few minutes, then even went to Home Depot and came back with a new light for our kitchen! All done within 90 minutes. Very professional, and worth what I paid. Would use them again in a heartbeat. read more

This is my second time leaving a review for Boz and his crew at Highlight Chicago because they continue to deliver above and beyond. Most recently, Boz's crew installed two high-powered LED security lights in our parking area along with five code-approved RAB vaporproof outdoor fixtures on our porches. The difference in safety and visibility at night is tremendous. He also handled the installation of string lights on our first-floor balcony, and the results turned out exactly how I wanted. Everything looks professional, well-planned, and adds both security and charm to our building. Boz runs a top-notch operation--his workers are always polite, respectful, and leave the job site spotless. They go out of their way to make sure the customer is happy, which is rare to find in this business. Pricing is always fair and transparent, and most importantly they always deliver! t I wish I could find a plumber as good as the electrician I've found in Highlights Chicago- lol If you're in Chicago and need electrical work done--whether it's security lighting, porch upgrades, or detailed code-compliant installations--Highlight Chicago is hands-down the company you want to call. read more

Incredible Electricians! I would highly recommend their services. I found them via a quick google search and I am glad I went with them. I hired them to replace my smoke and CO2 detectors throughout the house last month and they came in on time and finished the job in less than an hour. Jimmy came with his colleague and he even gave me tips on why my kitchen lights were flickering which I ended up getting fixed thanks to Jimmy's recommendations. They were both very professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. And this month, I had another issue in the house Friday night, called them first thing Saturday morning and they came in shortly after to help me fix my issue. Very quick to respond and attentive towards their customers. Jimmy was the one to come again this time and was very kind, helpful and resolved my problem in less than 30 minutes. I truly appreciated his patience today and how he was not rushing to get to another job. He did not dismiss my concerns and stayed with me and found the issue and fixed it promptly whilst also keeping me in good spirits. I am very glad I found them. And BOZ, his associate, called me to make sure everything was taken care of to my liking and to call them if I need anything else. The level of professionalism and care was truly refreshing. I will recommend them to my friends and family and will definitely call on them again if I need an electrician. Their pricing is also very reasonable and was very pleased considering the level of high quality service they provided. Thank you Jimmy, BOZ and team! read more

These guys are awesome! Quick and easy turnaround with an estimate. Very fair and competitive pricing. Quick scheduling. Chris, Cesar, and Ulises came out today and installed an EV charger in our garage. In the dead of winter, they dug a trench by hand! Completed the job exactly as estimated and explained everything they did to me. They were very professional, efficient, and friendly. They even swept the basement floor in their work area! I have used Highlights Chicago before and will continue to use them and recommend them. Thanks for a great job. read more

Phenomenal customer service! Very responsive and set up a schedule technician's within 24hrs! Very professional by informing me the issue and providing options to resolve with price range so no surprise. read more

I have hired this company for smaller work around the house over the past couple years and they've always been punctual, helpful, and professional. The work was always done quickly and correctly. Recently I hired them to handle a larger job replacing conduit between my house and my garage, adding a subpanel to my garage, and adding new conduit for network cables and they went absolutely above and beyond. They showed up exactly on time. They explained exactly what they were going to do. They did whatever was necessary to get the job done well - spending a solid DAY working on my house, dealing with strange issues (it's a very old house) expertly without complaint. Every one of the workers on-site was professional and kind. The install was clean. They even ran the network conduit further than I'd initially asked right to the room I needed it in, saving me what probably would have been two days of work. And then they cleaned up after themselves before they left. read more

This team was extremely professional quick and efficient. They also took care of the house, had them adding an outlet above the kitchen cabinets. Both backsplash and counter top were taped and plasticed off before running a fishtape over them to get the wires above the cabinet. 10/10 would use again read more

Fantastic work done by these guys. I had an entire condo rewired with new electrical outlets, new Undermount lighting in the kitchen, and new switches/light fixtures, install installed throughout. Very fair price and very easy to work with. Highly recommend for any electrical needs! read more

It doesn't matter how many times you use highlights Chicago they always do amazing work.

All around punctual professional perfect experience with Highlights! They provided a quick thorough walkthrough and estimate. The two workers (I don't remember their names) were very nice and informative and super hard working. They busted out a large job in one long day, including a new panel box and general electrical upgrades throughout. At the end, they walked me around and explained all the work. Couldn't ask for an easier more professional experience. I will be returning for future projects. Highly recommended. read more

Outstanding customer experience ! Boz responded within 24 hours to my inquiry and walked through the estimate explaining the scope of the job. Efficient use of technology to schedule and execute the contract. Their pricing was less than the company our condo association recommended and they gave more bang for buck. They hardwired my fans to the wall switch instead of just having to use the remote - over and above! The workmen, Ben and Gig, arrived timely, were courteous and very communicative . They walked through the job explaining what was needed and answered all our questions. They gave us options of where and how high our fixtures were to be hung. It was refreshing to have such an excellent customer experience! They earned all 5 stars and then some - thanks Ben and Gig. read more

I really recommend highlighs. Bez and his guys are an absolute pleasure to work with. I felt their prices were extremely fair and the quality of work was great. They upgraded my fuse box and upgraded some outlets to Gfci's, will definitely use them again! read more

We found a gem in Highlights Chicago! Knowing we had a major electrical job coming, we tested out the company with a smaller job first (replacing a couple outdoor outlets and installing two smart switches). The two workers sent by Highlights were quick, professional and knowledgeable. The work also was reasonably priced. So when it came time to address significant code violations in preparation for installing solar panels, we went with Highlights again. Boz came out quickly to get a handle on the work we needed done and helped expertly and smoothly guide the large project from start to finish. Excellent Highlights technicians moved and replaced our circuit board in our main house, grounded our electric to our water line, and installed a Level 2 EV charger in our garage (which entailed trenching and laying conduit through our back yard and adding a second circuit panel in the garage). All of this work was excellent and was permitted by the City without a hitch. We highly recommend Highlights for all of your electric needs, whether big or small! read more

Highlights always have met my electrical needs solving problems that others said was impossible. Electricians respected our property cleaned up and left no debris. read more

As both a homeowner and long-time landlord, I am very skeptical about all contractors. I found Highlights Chicago Electrical Services on Yelp, and was even more skeptical regarding well over 200 five-star reviews. I needed a major electrical service upgrade done on a historic landmark apartment building I own so I had no choice but to do the research and select a contractor. I know there are ways to get great reviews on Yelp. However, nine times out of ten, those people or "services" won't bother to write reviews in great detail, let alone many paragraphs in length. As I read through the reviews I realized they were legit. I can now add mine to the list. This company has truly earned every five-star review it has received. I have NEVER had such a positive experience with an electrical contractor. Quite the opposite. I got 3 different estimates, and they weren't the lowest, and not the highest either. Boz came out to look at what needed to be done (which included undoing the disaster the previous electrician created) within a few hours of my call. He explained everything in detail, and the pro's and con's of what my options were. They never asked for any payment upfront! The estimate was extraordinarily detailed. Shock number one. The team I was assigned, Kaplan and Jose, showed up ready to go at 7 am the next day! Shock number two. They worked their butts off until well after 6 pm! Shock number 3. They came back the next two days and did it again. Shock number 4. This is a company that is proud of what they do. The end result looked like a work of art. The conduit was perfectly aligned, evenly spaced and so symmetrical I couldn't get over it. Every detail was addressed, and all done without cutting corners, dodging building codes, or overcharging. Old houses are not easy to work on and require a lot of patience and genuine expertise. They worked around all the challenges and knocked it out of the ballpark. As long as they are in business, I will NEVER use anyone else. The few hundred dollars you might save going with the lowest cost option is nothing compared to the misery you will spare yourself by having this company do the work. If I could give them more stars I would. They are also really nice people to work with. When was the last time you thought that about a contractor? read more

I'll keep it simple. Tenants called with issue concerning an outlet clicking. Called Highlights at 9am. Service person was at residence by 10am. Issue fixed by 10:30am. All the same day. Oh, and the cost was under the bid I was originally quoted for. I'll only be using Highlights for all electrical work from now on. You should too. read more

Great experience from start to finish. The people who installed my light fixture were thorough and patient with my vision. Everything turned out beautifully. The process was quick and easy. Thanks Highlights Chicago, I will be connecting about our other lighting needs in the future! read more

These guys were amazing! Had a handyman over this morning to change a light fixture and he started (cut wires etc) but then said I needed an electrician for several reasons. Called highlights - they got me in immediately and figured out the issue in about 20 minutes flat. I'm so impressed! read more

I learned about Highlights Chicago through online forums as they were a recommended installer for EV chargers. I spoke with Boz and he provided a detailed explanation of how they were going to route the NEMA outlet from the basement, where my box was located, up to the garage. It was not easy as it needed to be routed through tight spaces and crawspace, but they were able to get it done. The total job took about 3-4 hours, with Mladen and Kaplan as my techs. The two were very knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all my questions. When they were servicing the work, they laid tarp to ensure my basement did not get dirty. They brought cleaning spray and cleaned after themselves once the job was finished. Should I move houses and need a new EV charging port, I will be going back to Highlights. Competitive prices + professionalism was huge in my experience. read more

It's too bad I can't give Highlights ten stars for the work they did for us. They are just that good. I asked Boz to come in and quote a bunch of work for our kitchen, bathroom, and electrical panel that were left unfinished by our irresponsible contractor for our home renovation. Boz gave us a very reasonable quote to essentially "fix a bad haircut". It involved fixing numerous outlets and switches, missing breakers, lighting, as well as new outlets and circuits. I was skeptical that it could be done in one day. Boz assessed the situation perfectly and pointed out things that I did not even know had been done negligently by the previous contractor. I had been told by other electricians that they couldn't come in for a month. Boz sent in three of his electricians in the same week in which I signed the quote. Juve and Jose were two of the names I remember, but all three men were kind, clean, professional, and unbelievably thorough. They communicated everything to me and even gave me advice on which appliances to plug in where (who knew a four-slice toaster draws more power than a microwave oven on full throttle?). When they had questions, they didn't just ask me, but they also gave me my options and recommendations. When I didn't have an answer, they made the best decision possible and it worked. They even did work that I didn't think of in order to do a complete job for the kitchen. They didn't add a single additional charge for any extra work they did... they did what they thought should be done in order to do the job right and completely. This is unheard of these days...anywhere. They worked relentlessly all day and only broke for lunch for an hour. They arrived at 7 am and worked until 5:30. Before they started, they protected all kitchen surfaces where they worked. Before they left, they cleaned up EVERYTHING. I have worked with many contractors in my commercial real estate job and in my home, and I have never met a group of tradesmen who were THIS good, this thorough, and this courteous. My only regret is that we didn't have them as our electricians for our renovation from the start. I cannot say enough good things about Highlights, Boz, and the staff. Remarkable. read more

These guys are beyond awesome. First off the owner is the coolest dude in the world and personally came by a few times to check out my wiring needs and make suggestions. The whole team was great - on time, hard and quality work done efficiently, fun people to deal with all around. Life is too short and these are the types of people you can feel comfortable letting into your home and trusting they do stuff right. In my case had an electric Tesla charger put in which has worked great and they even suggested the rebate for me and set up the work to qualify. Also had multiple 20amp outlets put in for a home theater and these guys went above and beyond. Took the extra step to cleanup afterwards as well. Would highly recommend! read more

I needed an EV (electronic vehicle) charger installed in my garage. I happened upon Highlighs Chicago and asked the owner, Boz, if they could do the work. In a day or two, he came to my house, assessed my layout, and a few days later, I had a professionally prepared quote. The workers were on time, professional, and very personable. After the work was complete, they made sure I understood how the charger works and were willing to answer any questions. This is only company I will ever use again for electrical work. read more

I had quotes from 5 different electrician from Chicagoland for service upgrade, meter replacement, panel replacement, and additional conduits/outlets for my two unit apt building in Lincoln sq. Highlights was by far the most reasonably priced, friendly and professional. I needed upgrade from 100amp to 200 on my 2 unit building, 3 new panel boxes with circuit breakers, including one new public box, new conduits and provide 240v for dryers in two units. Boz - the owner/ assessed the situation with a ton of expertise and clearly identified what needed to be done, which I did not see from other electricians we got quotes from. Boz was friendly, understanding and knowledgeable about chicago's codes/guidlines and knew exactly what we needed. He helped us understand the complexity of our needs/situation by explaining in terms that we understand. Francisco - the lead electrician and his group went above and beyond on my 108 year old building: they added new wiring, 2 new circuit breakers, replaced outlets, installed led lights for the basement, grounded 8 wall sockets...for no extra charge. They were respectful of our living space by wearing masks and worked around my work schedule/meetings so that I wouldnt lose power at those times. After the job was done, they went around and patched the major holes that had to be made for new wires. They also did a great job cleaning after themselves. As someone who is paranoid about getting things right the first time, i hgihly recommend Highlights Chicago. They have done an outstanding job - better than what i've imagined. read more
