Al and Newt were wonderful to work with, as always. This time I needed them to install a very heavy chandelier and make sure the fixture could safely support the weight. They handled everything perfectly -- the installation is solid, secure, and looks fantastic.They're consistently respectful of the home and always leave the workspace spotless, which I truly appreciate. Communication was great throughout the project.Thank you again! read more

See all

Al and his team were incredibly professional. They were on time and installed the ceiling fans and lights in 3 rooms and did extra troubleshooting on some wiring in my basement in a timely manner. Based on my research, I thought his pricing was fair, but more importantly his team was very nice and got the job done efficiently. I highly recommend Visco Electric. read more

Excellent service. Everything taken care of first time here at a reasonable price. Highly recommend this business.

Al and his team made time for me in the busy holiday season, moving and installing a new light fixture. Fast, thorough, did a great job and made sure there was no damage to my ceiling when they moved the fixture. Really pleased with the service. read more

Visco Electric - Light fixture installed by Visco - Electricians Near Me - West Chicago, Illinois

I went back to the well one too many times. I had Al out to fix a fan he installed, about a year ago. The fan only got worse, and he left me with a broken bathroom exhaust fan blaming it on the fan. About a year after that, a new set of projects came up: install bathroom light, can, hook up heated floor ....and this trip i had that new fan for him to replace. I also had him install 2 "can" lights. This time he brought along his kid? What i thought was a couple hours of work, ended up being 8 and a half hours for $1700. Now he was not there for quite 8 and a half hours, he obviously charged me for all of his and his kids breaks, charged me for the fan but the part that surprised me, was that he charged me $85 per hour for the kid. No way I was expecting to pay an electricians rate on a helper, and there is no way they did 17 man hours of work. The topper is, my newly tiled shower was damaged. There are cracked tiles and scratched tiles on the one wall. I called Al and asked what kind of ladder he used and he got to be, not so helpful. It seems that the cracked tiles are a result of someone leaning a ladder on the wall. I had painters in there too. I thought they might be responsible, but when I checked their equipment, I realized they could not have done the damage. Al and I texted each other, so I texted him asking if he wanted to come check it out, and that it was $200 to repair the tiles. What was once a fairly responsive Al, these texts went unanswered for a week. Al had cutting tools in the shower, and seems far more likely sharp edges caused the scratches etc. I finally called Al, and when I asked him to consider the possibility, he got super defensive and started blaming the painters and yelled that I was accusing him. At no time did I but I had 2 people doing work in there, and no explanation as to how they were damaged. I asked him to consider and to stop by if needed. There was so much yelling from him, I ended up thanking him a few times just to get off the phone....yuck. Side note, the kid broke a shade on the light fixture. Al said something like "that's why we don't work with lights that are put together" I installed the shades, so they would know the footprint of it. I left it up to them if they wanted to keep it together or not. At some point he ha the kid apologize, and that seemed to be the end of it, which seemed odd, as I would have expected a sentence like, "we'll get you a new one", or "let me know how much it is". Luckily, the manufacturer offered to send one out for free. read more

Al was amazing! He moved his schedule around to help me get a light fixture hung before a party I was having. He was very professional and the job turned out great! read more

We have used Visco Electric twice for two major jobs. First time our home was hit by lightning and AL and his team completely made sure our home was safe, and discovered the reason. He updated our fuse box and it was done neatly and professionally. We recently needed him to fix the outlets in our kitchen, and he and his team not only fixed and grounded our outlets, but brought everything up to code while staying way past dinner until it was done. His prices are fair and he is by far the most competent electrician we've ever used. Highly recommend. read more

Extremely satisfied with the service provided by Visco Electric, specifically the owner, Al Visco! Multiple lights and air conditioner went out on the same day. I called 3 electric companies. I chose Visco Electric because 1) he responded promptly (during a holiday weekend)... 2) he offered some trouble shooting suggestions first... and 3) he fit us into his full schedule knowing we had no air on a very hot day. Al was very professional (handed us his business card right at the door, removed his shoes, etc.), courteous, and honest/fair. I was so concerned about being taken to the cleaners (ignorant when it comes to electrical issues) but in the end only paid a 1 hr. service charge. I would highly recommend Al and Visco Electric. read more

I could not have been happier with these guys. My power went out in one room and the circuit breaker indicated a short. The two guys that were here investigated and found the problem and installed new outdoor gfci s where needed and problem solved. Very fair price but just terrific electricians. I will be giving cards to all the neighbors. It's really great when services over deliver. I wish Al and his guys nothing but success and won't hesitate to use them again. read more

He is the most knowledgeable contractor I have encountered in the home buying/hiring process. He knew how to analyze a problem, determine what was needed and properly estimate what was needing to be done. I had an industrial dual fuel stove installation that no one else could figure out. Al knew exactly what was needed, found problems with the wiring [this was a brand new unit mind you] and showed me what needed to happen. He quoted me and started the job within a weeks time, and completed all of my projects in one day. I was highly impressed with his professionalism. I had a sub panel installed, a bathroom fan replaced, several light fixtures replaced, a huge living room fan/light installation that he measured beforehand due to my angled custom built walls/frame and made sure I had the right equipment for installation and right size fan blades before he and his team showed up [honestly who is going to tell you that?!?! no one I ever used]. And to add to this stellar service, he is ALL about customer service from start to finish. All day I heard him tell his team "the customer would appreciate that, do that for the customer, do this for the customer, make it nice for the customer". ON and on, he's all about service. Now mind you, they had to take out the custom paneling and trim on my wall [it HURT to watch..] but when he was done, he cleaned up after himself throughout the entire home AND he gave us the name of not one but two reputable carpenters he works with to refer us to get the woodworking back to it's original shape. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated his professionalism. Finally a contractor I did not have to hand hold or follow every square inch behind. Job well done *and he saved me $300 off of the original estimate at the end of the day read more

I chose this company due to their reviews. They were on time and very professional. Al is very personal and engages you to make sure that you are getting what you want.

I would be confident to refer them to my friends. read more

My GFI stopped working and within one hour of request, Visco was out non-emergency request- to replace outlet with new one. He went the extra step to custom fit a cover for my outdoor outlet and caulked for extra weather protection!! I higly recommend Visco and will definitely keep the number for future needs. Labor charge was about 20% less than competitors too!!! Great experience. read more

Al and Tony came today to help me with a problem I encountered with a light switch arc that caused a section of the house to lose power. I called in the morning and they were able to come out a few hours later, which was much appreciated. They listened to my layman explanation of the problem and after a look at the wiring, the switches and the breaker box, they were able to quickly diagnose the issue and resolve it. Since I started the problem in the first place by trying to see if a timer could replace a toggle switch for outdoor lighting, they were able to get that installed for me, too. Both gentlemen were incredibly friendly and did a great job of explaining what they saw and how they resolved things. The price was reasonable, the service was excellent, and I recommend them to anyone. Will definitely be calling them again for any future needs. read more

We are incredibly happy with the work that Al and his team just performed. We had some electrical issues at our house. We originally hired a bigger name company, which came out and provided an estimate of the work to be done. However, when we decided to move forward with the work, that company failed to show up for the scheduled appointment. Al came out and did an evaluation. He added a couple more items to the scope of work, but provided an estimate that was about $500 cheaper than the other company's. Al and his team showed up on time, were professional, and came in over $150 less than their original (cheaper) estimate. We would hire Visco Electric again and would highly recommend the company to others. read more

Al and his team worked with us to add outlets, rewire and move light switches and install bathroom fans. They were on time, professional, friendly and did a great job. They also cleaned up after themselves and left everything as they found it. Best of all, the final price was lower than our initial quote. read more

Exceptionally clean and neat, these guys take pride in their work and it shows. This is the only licensed electrical contractor to call to get the electrical job done right the first time.
