Highlights Chicago

Love Highlights Chicago - very good for jobs both big and small and amid so much disruption for many industries, they still have GREAT customer service.

Excellent service - had a short circuit and they were able to come within a few hours and found / fixed the issue right away. I called around and other companies who did not have as many electricians available (so were not able to come right away) even recommended them and vouched for their trustworthiness and the quality of their work. They were upfront about their pricing and the final bill was fair/correct and not surprising at all.

These guys are awesome! They were recommended to me by a friend when I needed to put in a 240V outlet for a dryer. They were super friendly and helpful, had a fast turnaround and did a great job. I'm doing electrical work again this week and didn't hesitate to call them again

Highlights did a wonderful job for me! I had an an issue where a wire inside my A/C condenser unit (on the roof) had malfunctioned and had shorted. The A/C repairman said I needed an electrician to come replace the whip and the disconnect electrical box. Within 1 hour of my calling, Highlights was at my house and fixing my electrical. I live in a walk-up building where roof access is off the balcony via a ladder.

They brought all of the necessary tools, equipment, and material to ensure the job could be finished that day. I had a lot of questions for them about when and why this occurred and they answered all of them. They made me comfortable throughout the repair. They were very professional and I cannot say enough about how easy and nice they made the entire process.

Very pleased with the services provided. They were able to get us in quickly, arrived on time, and quoted much lower than the other electrician we have used in the past. We had humidistats installed in our bathrooms and also outdoor lighting/outlets on our rooftop. Looks great and another plus is they had the light fixtures in stock so one less thing for me to order.

What a great experience. Admittedly, this was a small job (hanging a couple of pendant lights in our bath), but I've had less than positive experiences with electricians in the past, so I was skeptical. But Highlight's exceeded expectations and lived up to their rave reviews. Provided a quick and reasonable estimate within hours. Kaplan showed up right on time, explained the issues with the existing fixtures and installed the new ones in a flash. Cordial, efficient and conscientious. Niki followed up the next day just to make sure all went well. The price was great (even less than the estimate). I really appreciate good customer service and these guys delivered.

Highlight Electric does excellent work. Mile and Gig have done more than one job for me and they are highly skilled in their craft and very professional. They troubleshooted an electrical issue I was having with dimming lights and addressed my issue letting me know what they were doing every step of the way. They fixed some other quirks they uncovered along the way and they labeled my electrical panels.

I can now rest assured my electrical is safe and my problem is correctly addressed. I highly recommend this electrical company and their crew. They respond very fast and have very fair prices. It is so good to have found my forever electricians.

We were having an issue with the power in our detached garage shorting out and causing the breaker to pop/spark. Highlights Chicago had a team out within a day to take a look. Raul and Liam came out and were very professional and did a great job explaining what the issue was and how to fix it. We had previously gotten a few quotes for the project for $$$ involving digging up our yard and major work. Raul and his team identified the issue, tested a few potential solutions, and were able to find a more efficient (cost and time) way of fixing the problem. I will be using Highlights Chicago for all my electrical needs moving forward!

Understand that this is an electrician and that five stars is highly unlikely. After hiring Boz and his team, it came as no 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 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. The job was done with finesse and patience.

Most of all they didn't need to damage any walls and left my areas (walls) completely clean. Pricing was very fair (no electrical job is cheap, and you don't want a cheap job!) and the owner was completely transparent upfront from start to finish. I will not hesitate to call this company again and neither should you, if you are on the fence on who you should contact for your next electrical job! Thanks for reading to all the yelpers and special thanks to Boz and his team!

I'm so glad I found Highlights Chicago! I bought a house in 2021 that needed a new electrical panel installed. I met with Boz, and he understood exactly what needed to be done. Oscar and Gustavo did the work, which included adding an entirely new electrical service line. They did a very thorough job from start to finish. Since then, Highlights have helped with several additional electrical updates at my fixer-upper home.

They respond quickly and I know I can count on them when something comes up that needs to be fixed asap. They are dependable, do high quality work, their prices are reasonable, and they are simply nice people to work with. If you are taking on a house rehab project, Highlights are exactly the people you need to have on your side!

Have to start by saying I rarely write reviews, but would highly recommend Hightlights for any electrical needs! I had the team out over the summer to correct previous electrical work from another company. They also got our pool equipment up and running. The chandelier pictured was just hung by Highlights yesterday and I couldn't be happier. Boz and team are extremely thorough, kind, and just a pleasure to work with.

They went above and beyond ensuring the fixture was secure, moving boxes/furniture, and even vacuumed up any mess when they were finished. It is rare to find a business with fair prices as well as this elevated level of service. So happy to have found Highlights and will continue to use them for any projects or electrical needs in the future!

I needed a ceiling fan replaced, and an overhead light replaced - just outdated models in the condo I'd purchased. From my first call they were great: (1) able to fit me in within a week of my request; (2) their employees arrived early in the morning so I could get this done before starting work; (3) they were efficient while in my condo, and finished both projects from taking the lights out of the box to constructing the fan, to hanging it in just over an hour; (4) they removed my old lights and fan; and (5) sent me an invoice in a couple days for payment.

My projects weren't complicated, but I did have concerns about the wiring in the bedroom since the previous fan/light just cut off power. Luckily for me, Highlights assured me there was no electrical wiring problems - just an old piece of equipment. Highly recommend for lighting needs around Chicago.

I've used Highlights Chicago twice now, once for a ceiling fan installation, and again for some pendant lights-they were super responsive and were able to send out someone to help within 24hrs. I had the same technician both times and he was speedy, knowledgeable, and in the case of the pendant lights ended up figuring out an install solution that saved us a ton of time and money: can't recommend Highlights enough.

I'm not really one to write reviews, but these guys are AMAZING and deserve the recognition. I had 3 outlets that weren't working. Because the technicians had finished up early on a job in my area, they were able to help me out same day. The guys showed up, super friendly and polite (wiped their shoes before walking into my apartment!), and quickly assessed the issues with my outlets.

Two of them were easy to fix, like comically easy. But instead of being condescending, they walked me through the fix and what to do if it happened again, which as a female who knows NOTHING about electricity, I greatly appreciated. They fixed the 3rd outlet which required a bit more work very quickly. All in all the whole job took roughly 25 minutes and was WAY cheaper than I had been anticipating. I will DEFINITELY be contacting this company again for any future electrical needs!

If you need electrical work done in the Chicago area, look no further. Highlights was amazing. They came out for an estimate on Monday, provided the estimate Tuesday and completed the work on Friday. All what we asked for and all high quality work. Meanwhile, I am still waiting to even get an estimate from the other company I requested one from - and the project is already complete. Boz was responsive, kind and everyone working with him was incredible. Highly, highly recommend!

Boz was super accommodating to my rescheduling request for a quote and gave what I felt was a very reasonable request to replace some old fluorescent lights with new LEDs and add 2 hanging lights. After receiving the quote, I realized I could probably use an additional fixture and emailed a few days before the appointment. The crew came prepared with extra lights and installed them no problem and finished much earlier than I had anticipated. Boz stopped by during the job to make sure everything was going smoothly which I really appreciated. Would 100% recommend and will likely be using them again!

I hired Boz and team to install cabinet under lighting and switches. They did an excellent job and the kitchen looks great. Boz is a trustworthy guy and stands by his team's work. Services:Install light fixtures, Remodeling, Install outlets or switches

The staff was very knowledgeable about the instigation process and they made sure that we were completely satisfied with the installation and work before they left. They even came back to troubleshoot and help with something as well. Services:Install light fixtures, Install fan

We have used Highlights on a number of occasions and they have provided fantastic service every single time. Always clean and efficient, their work is second to none. They are our go-to electricians.

Can I give more than 5 stars? These guys are world class honestly. Their bid for installing 3 EV chargers at our condo building was less than half than a few other bids we got. Then the actual work? It honestly couldn't look and function better. Boz and his team were so incredibly nice and so helpful.and they got a HUGE job done for us in a day. I've never been happier with a hired job in my life - HIGHLY suggest using these guys for any project!

Have used Highlights several times over the past 12 months and every time they are effective and efficient. Most recently in December Kaplan and Cris were great at installing a new garage fan and light and even took down and boxed up the old one. Much appreciated and will definitely be using again for any electrical work we need done. Thank you!

My husband and I bought our first house this year, and the electricity was crumbling at best. There were rooms and closets with no overhead fixtures at all. To top of off, our electrical box on our exterior was not up to code for reasons I won't get into it here. To sum it up, our house was a huge undertaking. Baz came to our house and was very pleasant, as we walked through room by room.

He took notes, and even returned promptly in the next couple of days when we got cold feet on some of our decisions (where to relocate ext box). He assured us everything was going to look great, and that our ideas, some feeling too big to take on, we're achievable and would be no problem. Not only that, he cleaned up and removed old cords so that we didn't have a rats nest going to the alley. Amazing!

His team, led by Cristobal and Kaplan, and spent about 2-3 weeks working incredibly hard in our house, in the heat of the summer, and full of dust. They added 100 amp circuit, a new electrical box, circuit board, replaced all switches and outlets, and added all my custom overhead fixtures with such care and precision. They were gracious, and patient when I changed my mind on things and added switches, ect.

They kept a steady pace the whole time, and were so polite about coming back to our house when light fixtures arrived after our first large initial push. I would 100% recommend them to my friends and anyone else wondering if these guys are the ones for the job. They sure are!

Smoke alarm chirping, battery changed, no luck. My regular electrician was too busy to take the job and recommended Highlights. I am beyond satisfied. They responded to me immediately, had someone at the house in a little over an hour. After assessing the situation, found out that the smoke alarm unit-which is hard wired with battery back up, was no longer functional, replaced it and they were on their way, Peace at last, no more chirping. They did a great job, fast, efficient, neat, and reasonably priced. Will definitely call them for future jobs.

I have been working with Highlights Chicago for about 6 months now and I nothing but great things to say about this company. Everyone is always very professional and responds promptly to any requests. The quality of work is just as great, anytime I have a request for work to be done in the Chicago area, the team at Highlights Chicago is my go-to team.

I have never experience an issue with the quality of work or with the professionalism. Defiantly one of the best companies in the city. Would highly recommend. I would give more than 5 stars if possible!

I was in search of an electrician to work on my bungalow. The team put in new exterior outlets, split up two lights that were wired serially to the same switch, while replacing old cloth wire with updated wiring, and installed a dimmer switch for me. I found these guys on Google just looking for local electricians in the area. Their reviews were good and their estimate was very competitive. Additionally, they were very responsive in coming out to look at the job, and were conservative about their options to tackle some of the trickier aspects of the job.

The end result is great so far. I will have to do some repair myself on the drywall removal for the new outlets, but they communicated this clearly going ahead of time. Thanks for the great work, Highlights!

I scheduled an appointment for an electrical estimate this past Tuesday with a two hour window for them to show. They did not show. Then they proceeded to tell me they called my phone and were at my house during that two hour window which was a complete lie. I never left my front room and had my phone next to me the entire time. Nikki the receptionist then proceeded to tell me that it was his mistake and he apologized and would like to reschedule.

We rescheduled for today between 8 and 10 AM and again I never left my front room next to my front door with my phone right next to my side and again no call no show. I then proceeded to call their office and cell phone numbers to get an explanation and left a message and no one has returned my call. Do not use this business and waste your time because they will waste your time!

Niki in the office is very helpful, great communicator, the electricians that did the job were great as well, professional, respectful, good experience all around. I've already scheduled this company back for more electrical jobs. Highly recommend. They changed out an old range hood for a new. Service:Installation

They came out same day, came within their window of time, did the job and cleaned up after. Thank you for being so responsive and helpful.

These guys were great! They showed up exactly when they said they would, both for the estimate and the actual work. Their price was totally reasonable and fair, and lower than two other quotes I received. They installed two new dedicated circuits and outlets in a new office in my house. They ran the new conduit from the basement to the second floor exactly as I requested.

They also troubleshot a short, eventually locating the problem in the kitchen. They took the time to trace the short carefully, correct the problem, and even flipped an upside down outlet in my kitchen right-side up for me, without asking. Will definitely use Highlights again in the future!

Boz and the team were punctual and professional from start to finish. Their came out to assess the job, gave me a fair proposal the same day, and scheduled the appointment the next day. They came spot on at 8:00 am as scheduled and finished the job within 3 hours. Outstanding work! I will use them again and recommend them to friends and family. Niki in the office is highly professional and responsive as well! Stop searching and hire Highlights Electrical! You will not regret it.

Highlights Chicago responded to my online inquiry for service within a few short hours, despite it being a Sunday. A technician was at our house and the dodgy outlet fixed within 24 hours of my initial request. Not only did they resolve the issue in a timely manner, they followed up with us later in the day to make sure we were happy with the work and had no follow up questions. Finally, the bill came in below the initial quote. This company clearly knows their work and has the professionalism and follow-through that customer dreams are made of. Highly recommend!

Working with highlights was an absolute pleasure. They made the entire process very simple. Niki was wonderful and responsive in explaining to me the necessary work and getting me scheduled. Once my electrician, Juve, came out, it was a very smooth process. He went above and beyond to explain the work he was doing, and was very considerate of where I wanted my light fixture to go.

He was extremely knowledgeable and offered advice on other elements of my home regarding what options I had for different recessed lighting. He demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and respect. While estimated higher, the invoice actually ended up being lower than the estimate, which was such a pleasant surprise! Cannot recommend these guys enough!

I needed a dedicated circuit installed to supply power to the heated floors that were being installed in my bathroom the following week. Highlights worked around my schedule to provide a free on-site inspection with quote. Highlights' price was less than half the price that I was quoted by another electrician I had used twice before. I'm very happy with the work performed, and the electrician was willing to answer some electrical questions that weren't even related to the job. Overall, I highly recommend this business and I will definitely use them for my future electrical work.

We had Highlights Chicago out to install some fixtures in a new home. They were prompt to respond, easy to schedule with, and did great work. I thought pricing was fair considering the amount of time needed to install. Would absolutely use them again.

I learned about Highlights Chicago through online forums as they were a recommended installer for EV chargers. I spoke with Boz and he provided a detailed explanation of how they were going to route the NEMA outlet from the basement, where my box was located, up to the garage. It was not easy as it needed to be routed through tight spaces and crawspace, but they were able to get it done.

The total job took about 3-4 hours, with Mladen and Kaplan as my techs. The two were very knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all my questions. When they were servicing the work, they laid tarp to ensure my basement did not get dirty. They brought cleaning spray and cleaned after themselves once the job was finished. Should I move houses and need a new EV charging port, I will be going back to Highlights. Competitive prices + professionalism was huge in my experience.

Needed support with replacing an outdoor outlet and setting up new track lighting in my home office. Pricing I received from Highlights was close to half the cost of a quote I received from a competitor. Not only that, but they were extremely efficient with the project, only taking about a hour to complete everything, plus it looks great!

Guys did a great job. Came out quickly for an estimate, worked quickly, and even helped us push our basement appliances and tables back when done. They even swept up afterwards! Great guys, great service, reasonable prices. Strongly recommended.

I had quotes from 5 different electrician from Chicagoland for service upgrade, meter replacement, panel replacement, and additional conduits/outlets for my two unit apt building in Lincoln sq. Highlights was by far the most reasonably priced, friendly and professional. I needed upgrade from 100amp to 200 on my 2 unit building, 3 new panel boxes with circuit breakers, including one new public box, new conduits and provide 240v for dryers in two units. Boz - the owner/ assessed the situation with a ton of expertise and clearly identified what needed to be done, which I did not see from other electricians we got quotes from. Boz was friendly, understanding and knowledgeable about chicago's codes/guidlines and knew exactly what we needed.

He helped us understand the complexity of our needs/situation by explaining in terms that we understand. Francisco - the lead electrician and his group went above and beyond on my 108 year old building: they added new wiring, 2 new circuit breakers, replaced outlets, installed led lights for the basement, grounded 8 wall sockets.for no extra charge.

They were respectful of our living space by wearing masks and worked around my work schedule/meetings so that I wouldnt lose power at those times. After the job was done, they went around and patched the major holes that had to be made for new wires. They also did a great job cleaning after themselves. As someone who is paranoid about getting things right the first time, i hgihly recommend Highlights Chicago. They have done an outstanding job - better than what i've imagined.

Spectacular Service. I am so thankful I called Highlights. Boz, and his team - Oskar and Rolando were everything and more. I called to get a second opinion on installing a sub panel to power radiant heating for my floors (requiring two additional dedicated 240v lines). Boz informed me that the right way to do this would be relocating my box in my unit (was in a community basement).

I thought we were looking at a week+ lead time and probably would need to sell my left kidney. The team was able to complete in two days of work, four days in total from the moment I called them. Pricing was reasonable and absolutely worth the work. I will recommend Highlights and this crew all day, every day. Thank you, Boz, Rolando, and Oskar; truly appreciate each of you and the hard work.

I contacted Highlights to do my electrical updates for my new home. They did a great job. Neat workers and did everything I asked them to do. Thanks guys.

I reached out to Boz when another electrician company recommended him to me. He sent Mike to my house the next day. EXCELLENT and AFFORDABLE service. Mike didn't make me feel uncomfortable. I enjoyed talking with him and he worked really hard to get the job done quickly (I had to be somewhere so we only had a short amount of time). I would definitely use this company again and highly recommend them.

I've found my new go-to electrician. I chat with Boz about what I need and he sets up a team that can be at my door within a day or so. I've now had Ben, Gerardo, Rolando and Hugo work on my new condo, and they all have done a stellar job. Work has ranged from adding track lighting to installing power/AV for a wall mounted television. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have work done in their home!

This company is awesome! I called last minute and they were able to have someone to my house in less than an hour. His name was Jube, very professional and got the work done quick. Thank you again.

The electric ceiling heat in our new (to us) condo went out except in one zone. That left three unheated zones with a Chicago Winter approaching rapidly. The ceiling heat specialist told us to forget it; the system was too old and it would be too expensive to repair. He suggested the use of heating/cooling units. I then called in the company that handles the air conditioners in our building - it has a long history of excellent reviews.

We were told they could be furnished but electrical work was needed. By then, it was two days before Thanksgiving. My old electrician went out of business so I searched frantically for a new one with good reviews. No one could handle the job until weeks from now. Then I found Highlights - an excellent experience from the first contact. They promised to come out the day after Thanksgiving and they did. They also completed the work in a timely and workmanlike manner. Everyone with whom I came in contact was wonderful. I have found my new electricians!

We needed can lights installed in our living room and called Boz. He came the next day and gave us a quote that was fair and reasonable. He was quick and efficient and set up a time for his guys to come out the following week. The night before they were to come, Boz called and confirmed the time. His guys were on time. They put sheeting up to minimize the dust and did an excellent job installing the lights.

We are so happy with how everything turned out! Another contractor who was working on some other things in our house commented that the work was excellent, too. In the process of installing these light fixtures, they noticed that our wiring was really old and advised that we consider replacing it in the future. Boz followed up with us to make sure we were satisfied with the work.

If you need electrical work done in your home, you can trust that they will do an excellent job. We will use him again and recommend him to all our friends. An overall excellent experience!

Bought track light kit and a new ceiling fan on Thursday, both were installed (and old fixtures removed) by Friday afternoon. Hi Light was flexible with arrival times, I had to move it twice and they arrived promptly still. Our new fixtures were missing pieces to be compatible with our concrete building structure and Raul and team were about to adapt without issue.

They found their own parking, were in and out in 75 minutes. Honestly probably the best service I've had from any Delivery or maintenance person in at least the last 10 occasions.

Ben and his partner did an excellent job! They installed a dedicated line to the breaker box, exclusively for my hifi system. My music has never sounded better! These guys were very courteous and professional. Highly recommended electrical company!!!

I can't say enough about these guys!!! I reached out to 3-4 electricians to get a quote to install 3 unique ceiling fans. Their quote came in lower than most of the others, but I just got a good feeling when speaking to the lady on the phone. They seemed much more straightforward than the other guys. The lights took some assembly, and it took their electrician (who was SO friendly and hard working) half a day to install them, due to the fact that two were not working from the factory.

He spent more than an hour on the phone with customer service trying to diagnose the problem. I thought, "great...now I have to wait a few more days and pay double to have them installed given how much time they spent". I was wrong. He offered to come back when the new lights came in. WOW! That's customer service. These guys have earned my business for as long as I can imagine!

Jimmy from Highlights Chicago came to our home to do some work on our 1926 house. Old houses are always a challenge, but Jimmy did a great job of figuring out our problem and finding ways to fix what we needed. He installed new lights and a GFS switch in one bathroom, and removed a switch and light attached to a medicine cabinet. The price was reasonable, and I was very pleased with his work. I will definitely call Highlights Chicago for my next electrical job.

Excellent professional electricians and efficient organized project management, great service highly recommended to any company remodeling or new construction.

Great Job on my outdoor lighting. great customer service and they were on time and worked well with other contractors.

Wow I'm thrilled at the work that was done in my place. I have a High-End salon in Chicago and Highlights did my lighting. I received 10 % off on my services because i got a lot of things done. The customer service was great as well and I received a christmas card from them with some chocolates.

Overall a very good experience. We needed an electrician because the weather was getting cold and our new warehouse space didn't have any heat. They came out ran new electric lines for our 3 heaters.

Great Customer Service. They were on time and gave me a great deal. I will hire them for sure a 2nd time.
