Chaim and his guys Justin and Shlomo were great. They installed a bunch of light fixtures for me, as well as a few other jobs. They really know what they're doing and are very communicative and punctual. Some of the wiring for the fixtures turned out to be old and the job was more complex than expected, but they confidently figured exactly what needed to be done. Will definitely be using again in the future.

Great competent job providing for 3 new electric outlets on the outside of the house so I could have Christmas lights. Seemed a bit pricey at the quote phase although I may not have had a good grasp of costs, as this was the first time I contract for a job of this type. I am so glad I accepted the quote. Top quality materials, thoughtfully done job, they took the time to get it right and left everything clean. Will definitely continue using them. Well worth it.

We recently used Power Up Electric on an upgrade of the common areas of our condo building in West Ridge. Chaim came to our meeting for the scope of the project, provided a cost effective quote that addressed our needs. His staff went above and beyond, showing up on time every day, and getting all of the work done in a speedy manner! Everyone in our building is happy with our new, brighter common areas of our building! Thank you for doing such a good job! Highly recommend calling Power Up Electric for any of your electric needs!

Excellent customer service and very talented electrician, not many compare. Power Up electric answered my call immediately, scheduled an appointment to review source of limited power failure isolated to the kitchen and lower level of our home. Chaim came out in 2 hours, saving a majority of our food! Chaim demonstrated great respect for our home, by putting booties on his shoes to keep the floors clean, fixed the problem and gave an accurate estimate of the cost, ending up much cheaper because he isolated the issue almost immediately, and gave great advise.
Even better, with his diagnosis, submitted a claim that will be paid by ComEd for their equipment failure! True pro, and a life saver, and exactly what we were looking for. We will absolutely use Power Up again!

Electrician Chaim Kalman was personable, helpful, and quick. From showing up on time to accompanying me to Home Depot to buy the right fixture, Power Up Electric went above and beyond in customer service and work. I will absolutely recommend Power Up to friends and use them for any other electrical needs. WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE, THANK YOU!

Mr. Kalman from Power Up Electric, Inc. was great. He was very nice and courteous. He was very professional and I felt like he was looking after me, giving me good advice. He actually went further and rewired a wire, just for safety reasons. I would have never know about it if he did not tell me. He took the extra time to fix it.

Found a melted outlet and found PowerUp Electric to replace it. I spoke with Chaim, the owner. He actually spent some time on the phone with me to diagnosis the problem (for free) before scheduling an appointment. Something I really appreciate. I've had workers come out and decide that they can't/won't do the job but, still expect to charge me for time.
He also was checking to see if I could handle it on my own, to save me a few $$$. Unfortunately, it was beyond my skill set. Chaim is also very busy, which means he's really good. It also means you may have to wait a week for the work to be completed. Worth it, in my opinion. I found him professional, articulate and knowledgeable. He removed the old plug, analyzed the issue (plug had to many wires and some fraying issues) and presented alternatives.
I agreed to upgrade the outlet to give it more space for all the wires. The work required removing some drywall, trimming down wires and installation. He did it all quickly and efficiently and even caulked around the gaps to for aesthetics. He also cleaned up all the dry wall and dust! He then checked the other plugs to make sure there were no other issues. Chaim did a great job for great price!

First off all the work was done professionally and quickly. Chaim provided a wonderful service at a great price and did not try and scare me into any upgrades for my new house. In fact he laid out each problem in an easy to understand fashion and helped me make an informed decision even if it meant less work for him. Absolutely fantastic!

I used PowerUp Electric when I had some electrical work to be done. I needed 2 old light fixtures to be taken down and new ones installed. Chaim from PowerUp Electric was a prompt, nice, American English speaker, who clearly explained my options upfront. He did the work quickly and cleaned up any messes right away. A few months later, I had a small issue with one of the light bulbs and called him. He came back within a day and resolved the issue, no extra charge. A real 'mensch'! GREAT experience. Would use again for any electric work!

Chaim was very professional and trustworthy. I have been doing business a long time and he seemed like a person I can trust. I got rip off couple of times with different business and was very cautious about finding the right company. He is someone you can trust and he will give you a fair price with the work that is required to be done. I will recommend him to everyone I know that needs an electrician
