Best Electrical Retrofits in Chicago IL

After a broken pipe led to wall removals in our 100+ yr old house, we discovered lots of unsafe electrical problems within our walls and ceilings. Arnold electrical was one of the few companies that actually called me back when we were looking for someone to fix everything. We were so impressed by their responsiveness, communication, and process in just giving us a quote, that we choose them to repair and replace everything. They ended up replacing our electrical panel, adding a sub panel to the garage, properly dug a trench and buried a conduit for our garage electric, installed an outdoor outlet, installed a light fixture in our stairwell, placed exposed wires in conduit, and completely rewired our house. We worked with two different teams and two other individuals from Arnold throughout this whole process. John did our initial assessments. He was very helpful, knowledgeable, and took his time listening to our concerns. Justin did our panel inspection, along with the city inspector. He was also very friendly and knowledgeable. Mary, the receptionist, was always friendly and responsive, and set up the city inspection and permit for the work. Jeff and his team did the rewiring and garage. They were always on time, did an initial vacuum clean up afterwards, cleaned up their mess everyday, and even brought treats for my dog on the last. Our only complaint is that we felt we were not adequately prepared for how many holes they had to make to do the rewire. Maybe they didn’t know until they actually started? Despite that, we are very satisfied with their services. They were pricey, but prices seemed on par with other local companies. Their communication, promptness, that they actually showed up on time every time, and that they coordinated the city permit and inspection were well worth the money.

Half of the outlets in our living room stopped working so we call this reliable electrician in Chicago. They assessed the problem, ran a few wires, and had us back to normal by the end of the day. Thank you!

These guys are the real deal in terms of professional electricians.They are very knowledgeable about all things electrical, and I am so glad that I found them.

Thanks to this company the task of finding a proper electrician to install a plug for my EV was completed in no time. They did a great job!

Excellent job!!! Montoya Electric worked on new 400 Amp Electrical Service and new rough, wire, and trim for units 2R and 3R. Provided new gear, equipment, including wiring, conduits, fittings and circuit breakers. Also worked on outside lights and front, rear hallway lights. All work done as stated on the contract and completed on time. Even when ComEd came to check the job, they told me Montoya always does an excellent and professional work. Thank you!!!

Wonderful jackbags keeping us supplied.

$75 for an estimate that can be deducted from the unknown quote. The quote itself could be on the higher end but you don't know until you pay the $75. I was hoping to find an electrician in my community but I will have to look elsewhere

Always great service!
