Electricians near Evanston

“Electrician Pros Evanston had many years of great experience.Highly excellent performance.“

“I decided to share my review here as well because highlights Chicago is highly reviewed in both places and it’s only fair that I contributed here as well!

Understand that this is an electrician and that five stars is highly unlikely. After hiring Boz and his team, it came as mno surprise to me, why they do have five stars! They were referred to me by another electric company that I have used in the past, that was overwhelmed with business right now. That holds true to Highlights Chicago as well. Everyone in skilled trade is quite busy these days.

Here are the facts about the job:

Cut and reset a burned/melted wire in my breaker box.

Ran a heavy gauge wire through my conduit starting at my breaker box, fishing it through the conduit- room to room until they reached the destination outlet for a new 23@ volt outlet for a 20 AMP window ac/heater I desperately needed in the winter.

***update 2025***

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, they 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 on the job they’re doing!

I wish I could find a plumber as good as the electrician I’ve found in This company haha

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.

Thank you!“

“Nick arrived at exactly the time scheduled, and changed out three light fixtures and a thermostat. He is a very friendly and nice man, and his work is neat and tidy! I highly recommend iConduit Electric and I will be using Nick for all future electrical work!“

“They took the time to explain everything to us. Great customer service and attention to detail.“

“I had a small electrical emergency and the owner personally came out on his time off to make sure everything was safe and taken care of. That kind of dedication and service is rare these days. Truly impressed with the professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care this company shows for their customers. Highly recommend!“

“The Crew showed on time, Edgar the crew leader was very professional and explained the installation process very clearly to me. They got the work done within the time they told me and explain how my new generator works. Overall it was a great experience. I will use them again with no hesitation.“

“We had a few electric projects around the house and Klever at BK Electric was able to handle them all. He replaced dead hardwired fixtures in our kitchen, did work on an internal chandelier and our outdoor light as well. He was kind, on time, worked cleanly, and did great work for a reasonable price. I also had an old light fixture that I bought from another country that he was able to rewire and install. He is saved in our phones now, will definitely be a repeat customer.“

“I had a very large job involving a lot of electrical components which basically consisted of all new service from the utility pole to my house and dropping the overhead components underground (new lines, new meter, new conduit, new electrical panels). I had a lot of different bids and guidance from various electricians on the project, but chose North Shore because they sounded the most reasonable and their bid was not too high nor too low (pro tip: low bids make me suspicious - you do get what you pay for typically). My experience with them is that they were responsive, prompt, the crew knew that came was friendly and knew what they were doing and it went fast without any issues. After the job I had an issue where my generator didn't appear to be working and even though that wasn't really their problem, since it had worked the last time they were on site they offered to take a look when they were in the area which I also really appreciated, so my take is that they will likely stand by their work over the long-term, too. I'd use them again for any electrical work.“

“Current Electrical Contractors did an excellent job for us, below budget, on time, with smart, competent, conscientiously neat, and very personable staff, who offered advice, answered all of our questions, and left us with a house that is electrically sound for the 21st century. They replaced our 100-amp 75-year old panel with a 200 amp panel, which will accommodate future installation of an EV charger and a fully electric stove when desired. They logically re-organized and re-balanced our circuitry, with appropriate re-wiring as needed. They installed GFCI outlets wherever recommended by the electrical code. Our garage is now PHEV capable. Our kitchen now has dedicated circuits, and all outlets are GFCI. We had a mysterious kitchen exhaust fan with a mind of its own that had spontaneously only run twice in 32 years. We should have worried more about it, but we didn't. We thought it would need replacement, and that we better insure the soundness of its electrical wiring. Tom Rafferty, who ran our project, thought it might be revived if it got good electricity, and he persevered until he neutralized its bad wiring, and installed good wiring. And Tom was right. The fan motor turned out to be just fine, and now the fan runs like a jet engine. Very fun. Also fun are our closet lights, formerly activated by pull strings which broke years ago, which all activate by motion now. And the LED lighting in our formerly darkish-basement is now so bright that I think it will cure my SAD this winter. To summarize, we're very happy. We will always use Current Electrical Contractors in the future. We highly recommend them.“

“I contacted Sapphire Electric because I was experiencing some odd issues with my house's lights randomly dimming. My house is 100 years old, so I always assume the worst-case scenario. Sapphire picked up the phone right away and scheduled an electrician to look at my problem the same week. The tech, Shawn, was very professional and diagnosed the cause within 30 minutes. He did a great job of explaining the issue and what may have caused it. He provided a quote on the spot and explained every line item for me. The following week, Shawn came out to complete the work, and it fixed more issues that I didn't even know I had! He walked through the work he did and we tested everything to make sure I was happy.
I would highly recommend Sapphire Electric to anyone that is looking for a responsive, professional, and fair electrical contractor! Thank you!“

“Jaime and Luis did a job that another electrician had told me was not possible (getting our microwave above the stove to vent to outside) and they did it quickly and neatly, and for a reasonable price. They also reconnected a light fixture that had been having issues and got it working properly. Good Guys Electric will be my go-to for electrical work from now on.“
