Make sure you discuss the feasibility of the installation PRIOR to agreeing to have them come out. I wanted to replace an existing chandelier with a 6 inch canned light to exactly match all the other canned lights in the room. I sent photos of the existing canned lights and the chandelier. When they arrived, the technician didn't even bring materials for a canned light and instead brought a DIY type "bathroom" style light instead, so they knew the installation of a canned light wouldn't have worked because of this adjacent vent and didn't communicate that to me. This still charged me with the full $185 minimum house call fee in addition to the material of the fake light, when I could have just gone to home depot and bought it and installed myself in an hour. read more

Excellent service! Prompt scheduling, competent work.

Needed to add a dedicated circuit breaker and wiring for our new oven hood going into our 100+ year old kitchen reno. Boz was great to work with, very respectful and kind and his team did a great job- kept the drywall cuts and mess to a minimum. I could barely tell anything changed when they were done! Price was very reasonable. Plus everyone was masked up and kept their distance which I really appreciated! I would definitely work with them again. read more

Highlights Chicago was extremely responsive and helpful. They provided a free estimate and followed up in a timely fashion. They installed the outlets we requested as well as added a wired motion sensor light to the building. They were extremely efficient and quick! Highly Recommend! read more

I had a great experience with Highlights. We needed a new light fixture for our condo building lobby. Kemal traded a few e-mails with me to help me pick the right fixture and Daryl came out the same week to pull out our ancient old fixture and get the new one installed. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Thanks guys! read more

I hired Highlights to install an electrical outlet in my closet. They were very responsive, replying to my emails and calls right away. They were able to provide a quote through pictures and they were reasonably priced. I was able to schedule the work to be done quickly and they ended up not having to cut through my drywall because the techs found another electrical outlet in my bathroom next door that could be used. And since the original quote included cutting of the drywall they even adjusted my quote since they didn't have to do that. I highly recommend them and looking forward to hiring them for more projects in the future! read more

Highlights Chicago is wonderful. From scheduling & initial plan thru end result the team did an amazing job. Jimmy, Kaplan and Chris followed all COVID requirements (masks, social distancing,etc.) They were so knowledgeable, thorough & polite and you could tell they enjoy working together. I am definitely going to hire them again for future electrical work. read more

Needed repairs due to hone inspection for house sale - the team were fantastic they identified the issue together completed the tasks - I would highly recommend this service having more than one tech made a difference. read more

Hi. New homeowner here. My husband and I bought a 1955 bungalow that was rocking some 60amp service and had a myriad of "do-it-yourself" "projects" done to it that rendered the home a bit of mess when it came to electrical. We had originally selected an electrician, but after receiving his quote decided to shop around a bit. Through a quick search on Yelp and Google (gotta check all the sources), Highlights came very well recommended. I can say that every positive recommendation is absolutely well-deserved. Their pricing was beyond fair and the team of Boz, Raul, Juve, and Ighor were genuinely kind and professional. They walked me through each item to be completed and gave guidance and suggestions when necessary. The following items were completed and exceeded our expectations: +Upgrade to 200amp service-including repositioning the entry point of our lines to furtherest corner of the house. +Run 4 cat6 Ethernet cables to various points in the home +Troubleshoot the basement light from hell +Replace several 2 prong outlets to grounded, fix improperly installed, and added GFCI outlets +2 weeks later when I blew two fuses doing something I shouldn't have been, they came out to rescue me within 24 hours. Special shout out to Raul for not scolding me and my handy work and then giving pointers about my electrical panel. My final note here, and what has sealed the deal on being a forever customer with Highlights, is Kemal. I can't tell you the number of times I've called a contractor or business to never receive a phone call back or have short clipped answers from a stressed out contractor. That is absolutely NOT the case when you call Highlights. They get your information, limit the game of phone-tag, and communicate so effectively with you and each other. I don't save many business numbers in my phone, but I'm saving this one. read more

This company is awesome. We were referred to them by another company that didn't have the capacity to take our job, but we were so happy to be referred to Highlights! We live in a turn-of-the-century condo and the power went out during a storm. Turns out, we had a circuit breaker that was from when electricity had been installed in the building (so probably 80-90 years old). Boz was super helpful in getting a proposal out to us because we were literally in the dark. Once we accepted the proposal, he had a team there at 8AM the next day. They finished the work by that afternoon. Boz followed up the next day to check-in. We had a little issue with the lights not staying on, so the crew came back out to fix the problem the next day. That's excellent customer service in my book, and I will definitely keep Highlights number handy. read more

If you're one of those who did not get good service from this company be warned if you post a negative review on them, they will call you right afterwards and harass you, after I blocked them from calling me from one number I had the block them again for calling me with another number. I trusted them with all of their five star ratings from those apparently satisfied, they probably were highlights probably did a very good job for them and would have done one for me except it would have been totally unnecessary the $2,800 they wanted from me was unnecessary due to the fact it was a ComEd problem they came out and replace a burnt line coming in to my house, Boz told me it was an inside problem and I could burn up and catch fire if I don't let him do his work. I have to wonder how many others will charge for work that was not necessary at least it wasn't me. read more

Excellent service, awesome team and continues to exceed my expectations. These guys are problem solvers and have helped me with multiple projects in Chicago. I can't speak highly enough about the quality of work as well as the people behind this company. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these guys for any electrical or odd jobs that you might encounter working in Chicago as these guys have been my savior on multiple occasions. read more

I had Highlights do work in two of my properties, and I give them the highest recommendation. The quality of their work is outstanding. I had recessed lighting installed in one property and a new circuit breaker panel in another. Both jobs were sizable and the results were excellent. If you're looking for an electrician you can count on and who measures up to the highest standard, use Highlights Chicago! read more

I heard about Highlights when I called another local business to ask for same-day service. They couldn't help me but happily referred me to Highlights and said they were excellent. I called and a few hours later, Raul came to help me fix the wiring behind my TV wall. He was friendly and fast. Can't wait to hire Highlights again! read more

These guys showed up early, which was a major plus. They were extremely quick and accommodated me after my error. I would highly recommend this company. Martin and Ben were awesome. read more

This is the second time we worked with Highlights to get some electrical work done in our condo. We needed a ceiling light installed in our bedroom where I suspected there was a strange wiring situation, so I reached out to Highlights and they sent a technician the next day to help. Darrell was very professional and made sure he took care to do the job right, which I really appreciated. The job turned out to be a bit more complicated than I expected, but he worked quickly and even went to get the hardware I was missing. We now have a lovely ceiling light with more reliable wiring running through the wall. Next time something is on the fritz, I'll definitely be giving them a call. read more

We were working with many different companies that promised quick timelines for the work, but Kemal with Highlights Chicago Electrical Services not only was the only company that followed through, but he was so professional and warm along the way. We had a terrible experience with three other companies who promised to get the work done before and just never called to schedule. Highly recommend this company and will be using them for all services in Chicago moving forward! read more

These guys are amazing! Super responsive and super kind. They were efficient. They explained the problem to me in a way that didn't make me feel stupid. They walked me through ways to save on electric. When the problem required buying something, they ran out and took care of it -- again, super efficient. Just great energy to have around your home. I want these guys to become my go-to electricians. I've worked with a lot of people in the past and I've been unhappy. I'm super happy I've got a regular guy now! I HIGHLY recommend Highlights Chicago! Won't go anywhere else. Thanks Boz! read more

I can't say enough about these guys!!! I reached out to 3-4 electricians to get a quote to install 3 unique ceiling fans. Their quote came in lower than most of the others, but I just got a good feeling when speaking to the lady on the phone. They seemed much more straightforward than the other guys. The lights took some assembly, and it took their electrician (who was SO friendly and hard working) half a day to install them, due to the fact that two were not working from the factory. He spent more than an hour on the phone with customer service trying to diagnose the problem. I thought, "great...now I have to wait a few more days and pay double to have them installed given how much time they spent". I was wrong. He offered to come back when the new lights came in. WOW! That's customer service. These guys have earned my business for as long as I can imagine! read more

Highlights Chicago - These ceiling fan/lights look amazing in my new office! - Electricians Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

These guys rocked! They showed up on time every day, wore masks and were very polite. Their work was impeccable and came out looking very clean. I would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for an electrician! My personal technicians were MILE and MLADEN! I have a 6 unit building and needed to up upgrade my service from 100 Amps to 400 Amps as well as replace all of the electrical boxes. Highlights came in with the lowest quote and did an amazing job! Beyond satisfied :) read more

Great service! I had an emergency with one of my rental units with no electricity due to a electrical wire issue. I called this company and they were professional, prompt (got here in an hour) and took care of the problem immediately! Electricity was back on in no time! They charged a reasonable Price for such an emergency too! I thought this would a bigger job but Raul knew right away what the issue was and fixed it. There was no additional "fluff" work and they didn't charge me anything extra. I would definitely use them again!! read more

Highlights was great to work with and I'd use them again in a heartbeat. Boz was fantastic. Very professional and easy to talk to. I had a fairly long list of items I wanted to accomplish and he was transparent about what all would have to be done in order to fulfill my list. After his in person consultation, he was understanding about a number of changes I wanted to incorporate and his quote was detailed and a very good price. Even when the job ended up expanding a bit beyond the quote, I wasn't charged over the quote. Raoul was a rockstar and clearly knew what he was doing. He never indicated any reservation about getting everything done and was friendly regardless of what challenges I know must have come up during the job. The cuts he made in the drywall were all very well done and all of the wiring was very clean and proper. Adrian also was wonderful with the low voltage work that was required. He understood what I was trying to do with network cable that was run and was a pro at resolving the routing and bundling in a better way than I was envisioning. We needed a building buzzer fixed and he took one look at it, knew the issue, fixed it within minutes and only charged me for the replacement part. He also had some suggestions on a few improvements that Raoul was happy to quickly implement at no additional cost. Any communication I had with anyone on the job was crystal clear, quick and concise. Their rate was by far the best one and the quality of the work and the people involved was top notch. I'll use them again for any electrical work I need done, regardless of size/scope. They know what they're doing and their rates are good. read more

Raoul and Hugo (sorry, i might be spelling the names wrong) were both great. They were a tad late, but i expect that in my area since parking is tough. They worked great and managed to complete my job in roughly 2 hours. They took time to ask for my input on how i wanted the task to be finished and i appreciated that. They came prepared with all the right tools and supplies and did a fantastic job. They serve the far north side (edgewater) and i believe they made mention that they go as far down as west loop also. Thanks guys! read more

Highlights Chicago has the best electricians in the Chicago area! If you need something done right and fast, these highly skilled gentlemen are your go-to! Raul will never leave a site without making the repair HAPPEN! They are super reliable, communicative and knowledgeable, this along with their expertise is what differentiates them from the rest! I use them in the Chicago area to troubleshoot/repair Electrical Vehicle charging stations. Alex and Kemal will ensure your work gets scheduled and completed and always deliver excellent customer service. read more

If you need electrical work done in the Chicago area, look no further. Highlights was amazing. They came out for an estimate on Monday, provided the estimate Tuesday and completed the work on Friday. All what we asked for and all high quality work. Meanwhile, I am still waiting to even get an estimate from the other company I requested one from - and the project is already complete. Boz was responsive, kind and everyone working with him was incredible. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Love these guys. Juvee came though and what a great guy. Fixed everything, responsive and knowledgeable.

I can't recommend this place and Mike enough. They were able to come same day I called and fixed the issue pretty much right away. He was professional, friendly and cracked a few jokes. Don't hesitate to call if you have any electrical issues. read more

Normally I don't review companies, but I had to this time because usually it seems like people only say something when it's bad, and it's about time we start complimenting the ones that do a great job, and Highlights is a great company. They were responsive, prompt, actually a bit early, did a great job, and most of all were priced really reasonable. If you need electric work call them. Great job guys. read more

Absolutely amazing service and quality of work. This is not the first time I have left a review of Highlights Chicago, as they have done multiple projects for us at at multiple locations. They respond immediately and work up a proposal right away. The price is quite fair especially in light of the outstanding work and extremely friendly service. Boz and his team seem to love what they do because they seem happy while they work. They probably know how good they are and have tremendous confidence in their work. There has never been an issue they couldn't handle and they explain everything. They keep the work area clean and do a final cleanup before they leave. This is one of the best run businesses in all of Chicagoland. We live in Evanston and they have done work for us here and in Chicago. I could go on and on, so let's just say there is no reason to ever use any other electrical company. read more

We wanted to install a current hogging stovetop in our apartment. We needed a study by an electrician to see if our wiring could take the extra load. Boz performed the study quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately, the results weren't what we wanted, and we weren't able to proceed with the project. Boz's fee? Zero dollars. Great service, great guy. read more

All I can say is WOW!!! Filled out the request for service on line, soon after I received a quote. I called and spoke to the ever so nice Niki who scheduled the appointment that met my needs. I needed to swap out a ceiling fan in one of my bedrooms. On the service day, they were on time, friendly and completed the job within 40 minutes with complete clean up and removal of the old fan!! It gets even better, they invoiced me for the job, I called and spoke with Niki once again to make the payment. From beginning to end, superb service! Niki was very helpful from the start to the end. I will be using this company in the future. As the oner of a 100 year old house, confident that the need will arise. Thank you Highlights Chicago, very pleased. read more

Disappointed call a day later. An hr late. To check wires for 5 min 150 dollars Fyi whoever calls

The company was very responsive. Their electrician, Ben, arrived on time and installed five light fixtures very quickly. Ben also inspected the panel and fixed some issues he found. When he left, the took all the used fixtures and left the place pristine. Overall, great company to work with and their professionals are great. Will call them again if I ever need an electrician. read more

5 stars for each of these great folks at Highlights - Kemal, Raul, Liam, Vesna, and Niki!! Each one was friendly, professional in their roles, had a desire to serve the customer, and seemed to really enjoy their work interacting with the client! It was comforting, uplifting and efficient working with them! They installed ceiling lights, motion lights, outlets and switches. They advised with wisdom how to choose motion lights which fit our needs. They were quiet, clean, concerned about reusing and recycling, friendly and interactive. Well done! read more

What a great experience. Admittedly, this was a small job (hanging a couple of pendant lights in our bath), but I've had less than positive experiences with electricians in the past, so I was skeptical. But Highlight's exceeded expectations and lived up to their rave reviews. Provided a quick and reasonable estimate within hours. Kaplan showed up right on time, explained the issues with the existing fixtures and installed the new ones in a flash. Cordial, efficient and conscientious. Niki followed up the next day just to make sure all went well. The price was great (even less than the estimate). I really appreciate good customer service and these guys delivered. read more

Highlight Electric does excellent work. Mile and Gig have done more than one job for me and they are highly skilled in their craft and very professional. They troubleshooted an electrical issue I was having with dimming lights and addressed my issue letting me know what they were doing every step of the way. They fixed some other quirks they uncovered along the way and they labeled my electrical panels. I can now rest assured my electrical is safe and my problem is correctly addressed. I highly recommend this electrical company and their crew. They respond very fast and have very fair prices. It is so good to have found my forever electricians.... read more

I love this electrical company. Highlights team was fast and efficient. They were certified electrician and knew just what to do. I am grateful for their expertise and true professionalism. Good price too. I highly recommend them. read more

Called highlights for a estimate, boz came out and he was extremely nice and straightforward... I cannot express how happy I am with the work that was done. Everything came out better than expected. I will be using them again for any other electrical work in the future. read more

I was very impressed with the service and professionalism. The Electrician, Juve, was on time as per prior planned appointment and worked hard. He got straight to work and found the problem immediately. I used to use neighborhood electricians that were independent and friends but they all retired or their kids who they handed down the business to retired and the next generation didn't continue the business. I am lucky that I found this company. I am definitely going to recommend them to friends and family and will use them in the future as needed Electricians are expensive to begin with but they are very reasonably priced for electricians and safety is the most important thing in electrical work and they take safety seriously and inform you what is the best way to keep things safe I am extremely satisfied and am grateful that this company is out there read more

We needed some electrical work done in our 150 year old recently purchased 2 flat. We kept flipping the breaker in the kitchen when appliances were running, electrical outlets were loose, we had a ceiling fan hanging by wires, closet lights weren't working, and we wanted to add some outlets to a couple of rooms. Highlights came out and look through our issues for a quote. Prompt and patient with us, WE ARE A HANDFUL, and we had a quote back within a couple days. Boz did great with answering all of our questions, and when we decided things last minute he was able to fit all the changes in. The crew of 3 showed up on time and worked diligently to get everything done in a day. They worked around our large pittie rescue and 2 fat cats and were very respectful. They KILLED IT. They also found a leak when up in our scary attic. They showed us pictures so we could contact a roofing company and actually saved us money so we could get it repaired before it got worse. Customer Service was ridiculous and cost was reasonable. We got a couple quotes and are so delighted that we chose Highlights. We'll be using them any time we need electrical done. They got life customers with us. read more
