Electrical reviews in Chicago, Illinois

Kent and Alex were very responsive, personable, and did an outstanding job with all the work I needed completed in a timely manner. They took the time to always be sure and ask if I was satisfied with the job they were doing before they completed their work, and were also very careful to clean up their work area each day before leaving my house. I would highly, highly, highly recommend Skyline Electric for any electrical work you need.

These guys are great. I hired Skyline to fix the front and back lights for our 3 story building in Lincoln Park a couple of years ago, and had them work on multiple things for my own condo today. They are all very professional and knowledgeable!
Both Kent from a couple of years ago, and Tom with his "buddy boy" helper :) who were here today, did a great job. And when Tom did not have a tool he needed to cut the kitchen island cabinet, so that it would not crack, he called the office and had the right tools delivered very quickly. Jeanette, who is the owner (i think) and handles appointments, is awesome too. Highly recommend this company!

I cannot say enough great things about Skyline Electric - Kent and Nic did an amazing job installing several light fixtures in my new condo. They were extremely knowledgeable, quick and professional, leaving the place spotless when they left. Jeanette in the office was also really great to work with - very communicative and responsive, even managing to get all of the necessary approval forms to my building's management office within 24 hours (which they hand delivered). I have already recommended them to friends and will definitely be using them for all of my future electrical needs!

Kent was great to work with. We recently bought a home that needed extensive electrical work (replacing and moving an electrical panel) in order to install a new electric hot water heater and Kent and Aldo got it done quickly and at a reasonable price. Scheduling was very flexible - the job was done over the weekend which worked best with my schedule. Kent does quality work and doesn't cut any corners - it is rare to find a tradesman you can trust. We 100% plan to work with Skyline again in the future.

My experience with Skyline electric has been nothing short of amazing. I needed help with fixing my thermostat for a line voltage HVAC system. It was a challenging job that not many could do and most of the people I reached out to were reluctant since the task involved was complex. Kent from Skyline electric was brilliant – he was knowledgeable and understood my need from our initial conversation.
He even went the extra mile to ensure I was confident and comfortable with this installation by showing examples of successful installations at various other condos. He was prompt and very professional. He even recommended we install a four-position switch that would help set fan speed as required.
I am completely satisfied with his quality of service and cost. I definitely would recommend him for any future electrical jobs.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Kent, an exceptional electrician who replaced my outdated fuse box with a modern circuit breaker. I am absolutely thrilled with the service he provided. From the moment Kent arrived, his professionalism and expertise were evident.

Kent's punctuality and friendly demeanor immediately put me at ease. He took the time to listen to my concerns and preferences, patiently explaining the entire process and the advantages of upgrading to a circuit breaker system. His knowledge and willingness to communicate were invaluable.

During the installation, Kent's skill and attention to detail were truly impressive. He meticulously handled each component, ensuring that everything was properly installed and in compliance with safety regulations. It was clear that he possessed a deep understanding of electrical systems and took great pride in his work.

What truly stood out to me was Kent's commitment to cleanliness and organization. He made sure to minimize any disruption to my home, keeping the work area tidy and leaving no mess behind. It was refreshing to see someone who not only excelled in their technical skills but also valued the overall customer experience.

The results of Kent's work exceeded my expectations. The new circuit breaker system has greatly enhanced the safety and efficiency of my home's electrical setup. I now have complete peace of mind, thanks to Kent's expertise and meticulous approach.

I wholeheartedly recommend Kent to anyone in need of electrical services. His professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail are truly commendable. If you're seeking a reliable and skilled electrician, look no further. Kent will go above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction, leaving you with a top-notch electrical system and a smile on your face.

Great experience ! Clean work, Kent is a legend! Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic experience with Kent! He was on time, professional, answered all our questions, and with his experience and knowledge; he helped us make the most logical decisions. This is the second time we have used Skyline Electric, and it definitely won’t be our last!

Kent and Jeanette are AMAZING!!!! They are A+++. Kent and his team are extremely knowledgeable. Jeanette from the beginning helped me in understanding the electrician world and getting prepared for our appointment. Kent came prepared and there is no task that Kent can't do. They are extremely nice individuals and very helpful and patient. Kent went out of his way to help us with issues. Jeanette was responsive and understanding. I recommend them 100%.

Who knew an electrician appointment could be such a good, satisfying experience?! Jeanette and Kent are amazing- great communication, friendly, knowledgable, and trustworthy. Kent knew exactly what was wrong and got to work replacing the breaker in my electric panel as well as the outlet on our patio. He was done in 30 minutes but did a thorough inspection, efficient without feeling rushed. I highly recommend them and they will definitely be my go-to referral. Thanks!

Excellent group to work with for any in home electrical needs. Great work while keeping the costs reasonable. Highly recommend.

I called for a small outlet replacement job, but I am unfortunately located outside of Skyline’s service area. The person I spoke with over the phone was very friendly and helpful and gave me the number to a company she thought would be able to do the job.
I would happily work with Skyline if I were in their service area.

These guys are fantastic, if you’re in need of an electrician in Chicago call Skyline.

From the start Jeanette was extremely helpful in diagnosing over the phone and providing some instructions on what to do immediately. Within a day we were able to get Kent out and his service was top notch; very knowledgeable and highly efficient.

I’d recommend to anyone in the city and will be my go-to for any electrical needs moving forward.

Kent recently completed electrical work at our home, and we were thoroughly impressed with his expertise. He meticulously addressed our concerns. Kent's technical skills and dedication to excellence are commendable. He communicated effectively throughout the project, making the experience seamless. We highly recommend Kent for any electrical needs – he truly delivers outstanding service.

Tried to book some pretty simple electrical services through this company but ultimately had to move forward with a different provider because the scheduler was unprofessional and could not seem to provide a basic quote for the work. They ultimately stopped responding to me when I tried to confirm the total estimated costs for the project.

Editing to add that I never asked for a firm price, just a complete estimate of the project costs which the scheduler refused to provide as they confirm below.

When you buy a new house, there's nothing better than finding your guys. (Or gals. No sexism here.) Now we've got our electrical guy! Kent's the best. He's super fast to respond to texts and calls. And he's really efficient in diagnosing issues. He installed a complicated chandelier for us, then figured out why we seemingly had no power running to our smoke & carbon monoxide detectors. He's a Nest installer, too, which is harder to find than you'd think. We've had several contractors in who obviously didn't know a thing about it. After everything Kent did for us, he charged us a ridiculously reasonable amount and was on his way. I'll absolutely use him for all electrical everything in the future. Just keep in mind, he may not be able to get to you right away, but he will get to you, and it'll be well worth it. Pro tip: Make the guy some coffee. He likes coffee.

My experience until today has been very positive, both for my family, friends, clients and anyone I've referred to this company. I have sent no less than 3 people to them and my family has used them for both smaller and larger projects on no fewer than 3-4 occasions. And then today happened.

Skyline was called out in November or early December to install gutter heaters into my 97 year old grandmother's 4-flat. The system was installed, though they ended up staying late because the gutter heaters kept blowing fuses (she has an older electrical panel). They managed to stabilize the system temporarily and we thought there wouldn't be a problem in the future. As soon as the January ice storm hit, the gutter heaters started blowing all of the fuses again. No problem! I called Skyline but this time they sent Kent. While nice at first, his attitude quickly changed later on. I'm the type of person who looks to professionals when I have questions and I rely on them for education and information. I asked Kent some questions and he just seemed annoyed. Upon his return from the supply warehouse, I asked him if I should turn the gutter heaters off in an effort to make things a little easier for him. His response was to call me an a$$hole (multiple times) and then tell me that it's "always the person behind you that is telling you how to run your f#%king business even though you've been doing it for 35 years and have '5 licenses.'" Excuse me? I've done nothing but try to help make things easier for you and if I've had a question, I have asked it (as any consumer would). I don't know everything and I'm hiring you for your time as well as your professional efforts. It's not too much to ask that you be somewhat pleasant during the process.

On top of this, Kent did not wear a mask. At the time (01-13-22), we were in the middle of the pandemic and at the peak of the problems with the Omicron variant. Regardless of what you may think of COVID-19, he knew that the owner was a 97 year old.

The bottom line is that the job wasn't properly completed back in December and the job wasn't completed today, either. Kent, after his tirade/hissy fit, decided to leave the job site without closing the roof hatch that he opened to examine the electric gutter heaters on the roof. My 97 year old grandmother was left to find someone with a ladder who was willing to help close up the hatch so that water and ice didn't cause hazardous conditions for her tenants. It's a shame that I will no longer be recommending this company due to the unprofessional actions of their owner. They had been great up until this point. Today is simply not something I am willing to overlook.

As an update, we're still left with an incomplete job. If Kent receives an honest review that doesn't meet with his approval, his response is, "You're on your own," as evidenced below. Caveat emptor.

Beyond happy with skyline electric. After calling 2 HVAC companies as well as my building maintenance, everyone was clueless on the power trouble I was having with my thermostat. I heard 3 times that installing a low-voltage system in my unit would be impossible.

Kent came out and within an hour the job was done. Now I can enjoy having a Google nest without issue! Couldn’t recommend enough!

What an excellent experience! Our electrician, David, was friendly, on time, and very efficient. We had a long work list and he did a wonderful job. Will definitely be using Skyline for our future electrical repairs!

Wow! Just had one of the best experience with electrician company! They were so responsive and super quick about booking and getting the job done. The electricians were very polite and professional in every way. I would definitely recommend working with this company, and now I know who to reach out anytime I have electrical issues. Thank you everyone at the Skyline Electric!

Kent installed two light fixtures for us. He came a few days before to patch up the hole in the ceiling so my painter could paint over it, then came back to finish the job. He was on time, very knowledgable, and extremely helpful and easygoing. I’ll definitely be using his services again for all other electrical needs that arise. Cost and time efficient. Thanks, Kent!
