Matthew from T & M Electrical Services showed up right on time and was professional, friendly, and…read moreclearly passionate about his work. He was upbeat and easy to talk to as we walked through all the projects I had lined up. He took the time to explain each step clearly and offered thoughtful input on how everything would be handled. He also did a quick inspection around the home and pointed out potential safety concerns I wasn't even aware of--offering solutions without any pressure. His communication was clear, and he explained both electrical and non-electrical matters in a way that was easy to understand. All of the work he completed looks clean and precise, and everything functions exactly as promised. He even addressed a tricky issue left behind by a previous contractor and fixed it the right way--no shortcuts. It's clear Matthew knows his craft well; you can see it in the way he works with his tools and the attention he puts into the job. I'm a very satisfied customer and won't hesitate to call him again. Highly recommend for any electrical work--definitely a 5-star experience!

I have had so many electrical issues in my home Over the years. Our friend Terry referred Matt to…read moreme. My main complaint was my smoke detectors were all chirping and they're up so high I couldn't access them. Matt came to check them out and figured the issues out quickly. He also took the time to locate some other issues with my exterior electrical. Our light poles had no power to them over the past 5 years. Two other electricians have come over the past few years and could not figure this out. Matt and Chance figured this out within an hour. They also got an exterior camera working that has never worked (since the last electrician put it up.) Not only that, weve had some issues with mice coming in though the lines to our electrical boxes. He took the time to seal it from the inside so they cant get back in. Overall, Matt and Chance went above and beyond for us, and took their time to fix things I didn't originally even call about. It was also very affordable.I appreciate the level of professionalism,care, and expertise. I will be calling again and I highly recommend this company!

I contacted Bock Electric to install the necessary outdoor electrical for my new hot tub! Gary and…read morehis assistant were fantastic! They did great work. It looks good, and great quality. Gary also fixed a problem left by my home builder! They were very prompt. He told me they'd be at my house at about 8:00am, and it was 8:00 on the dot when Gary knocked on my door. Very professional. I was extremely pleased with the work and service I had done and I will use them for all my work in the future. Would definitely recommend.

My wife and I have an old craftsman bungalow that had a hodgepodge of wiring added over the years…read more With the addition of central air, a dishwasher, and electric washer and dryer it was time to upgrade the panel. We got a number of quotes that were either way too high or way too low and kept looking around until we heard about the excellent work that Gary does. A couple of conversations and in person quote, we were convinced of Gary's attention to detail and passion for his work. He got the job done in two days and did an excellent job. We are very satisfied and would highly recommend him for complex jobs on old houses where you don't trust just anyone to do the work.

I called Ace and pointed you large openings around the panel/box some large enough for a squirrel…read moreto get in. Ace said he would be here to close openings in wall around the panel, gaps after the 3 day weekend . The electrical panel is not labeled either. His workers did do a lot of good work finding faulty wiring - why throw it all way by not doing basic code work? Went through my trash to look for panel with the labels, box there but not the labeled panel. My friend who is an electrician just shook his head and didn't even want to touch the box.

Told us we needed to drain the pool and take it down for him to do it which wasn't the case at all. This business is very unfamiliar with electrical requirements for pools. Would NOT recommend this business to anyone.

Gerad sent me a text of his expected arrival together with a photo of himself so I knew in advance what he looked like. He replaced a damaged electrical outlet promptly, reset the fuse, verified it worked, cleaned the area around the outlet and offered valuable tips for ongoing safety. I made another appointment to replace more outlets as well as replace smoke alarms. I look forward to working with IL State Electric LLC again.

I moved to Byron a little over two years ago, and needed to have my Generac generator serviced. The…read moreamount quoted by Generac was ridiculous and would only cover less than three years of coverag When I questioned the amount, their solution was "find an electric company to repair it for less". Not a terribly customer friendly attitude. I found Gates Electric that serviced my generator and replaced needed parts, and made sure the generator was in tip top shape and was ready to pitch in and save the day should I lose power. The repair person, Jeremy Witt, was knowledgeable, competent, and responded quickly and I would recommend Gates Electric to anyone needing any kind of electrical work in the future. Thank you Gates Electric for your excellent service.

Looks as if the current reviews are before this year, so this will be the first here for 2022. I…read morehad a furnace problem. The first service I contacted did not have the part. I called Axberg. Their price was double that of the other service but I needed heat. In addition to their high price, Tim did a hard sell for a 3 year maintenance plan for almost $500.00. The plan does not include the cost for anything that needs repairs, and most consumers expect to be told that something needs to be repaired or replaced. This is October and the plan only covers one visit in the Spring for the AC, and one visit in the fall for the furnace. Too late. If you care about your health at home, know that one tech wore a mask on request that continued to slip beneath his nose, and the other tech wore no mask. Both said they have not been vaccinated for Covid-19. I'm a high risk senior. Because of both issues, I will not use Axberg again.

On November 22, 2021 I called Black Diamond to help me finish installing a new outdoor light…read morefixture. I couldn't get the the last screw in and was frustrated. When the technician came he told me there was a one hour minimum. I told him that was fine. He fixed the light fixture in about 5 minutes so I asked him to look at an outside receptacle that didn't work thinking since I was paying for an hour he might as well look at that. He did not tell me they charge extra if they look at something else. He looked in the basement and looked outside. It took him around 20 minutes to replace a breaker. He was there less that 40 minutes and charged me over 500.00 dollars! Sure makes me wonder if he did that because I was a women.
