Best-Rated Electricians in the Chicago Area
The order below is arithmetic, not judgement: it follows the Google rating snapshot on each listing and, where ratings tie, the number of reviews standing behind them.
A rating drawn from many reviews and one drawn from a handful are not the same measurement, so the review count sits beside every rating. A rating also cannot say whether a contractor takes on the job you need, from a panel upgrade to a car charger, or works in your town, so check both before you call.

How to read this page
The order is produced by a rule with no membership term in it: the rating snapshot first, then the review count, then the business name. Premier placement does not change the order on this page.
Every figure here is a snapshot of a public Google Business Profile on the date shown beside it. Google ratings move, so the live figure may differ from the one on this page.
Chicagoland Reviews does not vet or endorse any business listed. All review counts and ratings are arithmetic records of publicly posted Google customer reviews.
How do I choose an electrician?
Ask which license or registration the electrician holds, ask for a written estimate, and ask whether the job needs a permit and an inspection. The ratings above say how reviewers felt about a job, not which electrician suits your home or the work it needs. Questions to ask before work starts:
The license or registration
Illinois law lets each municipality require electrical contractors to register. In Chicago, electrical contractors are licensed by the Department of Buildings, and the city publishes a list of active licensed electrical contractors. Ask which license or registration the contractor holds, and where.
A written estimate
Ask for a written estimate that lists the work and the equipment, such as a new panel, added circuits or a car charger, and ask whether the price is fixed or could change once walls or ceilings are opened.
Permits, inspection and insurance
Ask whether the job needs a permit and an inspection, who will apply for the permit, and whether the company carries liability insurance.
Each listing gives the company’s address and contact details.
