Skyline helped me out a bit last minute and I couldn't be happier with their service. Jeanette helped get me in with an appt in less than a day, and Kent, the electrician, was fantastic. Super personable, very knowledgeable, and thorough—exactly what an electrician should be. Don't go with anyone else, Skyline it is!

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.

Great experience. Jeanette was able to get us on the schedule the same day. Kent diagnosed and fixed our electrical issue in lightening fast time (he actually knew the issue was our outside balcony outlet before he even arrived). I felt their prices were very reasonable considering their expertise. You know what they say...good isn't cheap, and cheap isn't good. Would definitely recommend this company, especially if you are living downtown. I would give them a call again should I have any further electrical needs.

These guys are absolute PROS!! It’s almost impossible to find reliable, knowledgeable, and courteous electricians that go above and beyond in the city let alone in river north.Jeanette very quickly scheduled for me to have all of my track lighting replaced, a fixture replaced, several switches swapped, and a swag chandelier installed. Kent & Steve were rock stars! This was not an easy job, I have tall concrete lofted ceilings (almost 11 feet), to which they came prepared, had all of the tools/hardware they needed handy, measured so diligently and went above and beyond to notice the little details (that I certainly don’t notice) like installing my new track fixture to compliment the curvature of my wall- great eye those two have!When the job was finished, everything was installed to my satisfaction (and theirs), they did a final inspection, they cleaned up, and even took the trash with them on their way out(which I SO appreciated as our trash room here fills so quickly)I cannot recommend these folks enough 10/10 will be calling them for my next project! Thanks Skyline ☺️

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!

Honestly I cannot say enough good things about Skyline Electric. This is a little embarrassing admitting this publicly, but I’d called Skyline today, to see if they could help repair a ceiling fan that no longer worked, after less than a year after they’d installed a brand new ceiling fan. Kent was EXTREMELY responsive and came out to help remediate it the same evening… at 9:30pm. It turned out to be a dead 9 volt battery in the remote. WOW… so embarrassing… but yet soooo grateful that I’m dealing with a professional company that cares that much about the work that they do. I will always go back to Skyline! Thanks Kent!!!

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.

Kent is by far the most professional and welcoming electrician I've ever worked with. Needed two switches replaced, not only was the work completed the same day, but the quality was incredible. I highly recommend Skyline Electric.

Kent and Dave were excellent. On top of what we called for, we had some problems with appliances installed by Abt that we didn’t even realize. They were quick, professional, and we really appreciated their help!

I needed an electrical panel to be replaced to bring it up to code. An extremely knowledgeable and friendly electrician, Kent, showed up on time and installed the unit. He was careful as far as protecting the floor of course with a dropcloth. He was extremely efficient. When he opened the panel for the first time, I was amazed that anyone could possibly know which wire goes where. Kent assured me that this was an easy task. He did a great job. Thank you, Kent. You rock!

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%.

Kent was knowledgeable and wasted no time in fixing a panel with poor wiring, and fixed my motion-sensor switch issues. He also explained simple how-tos so that I can manage on my own. No fuss, fixed my problem and left me with good information. Pricing was upfront, transparent and honest, no hidden fees.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Beyond helpful. Came home to all power in just my condo unit being out with no obvious problem at the circuit breaker. They were able to troubleshoot the problem immediately over the phone tracking the issue down to my building’s main breaker and walked me through how to reset it in minutes which solved my problem. Professional and were genuinely interested in solving my issue without scheduling unnecessary appointments, sketchy quotes, etc. They will be my go to electricians from now on.

Skyline Electric installed the electrical wiring and GFCI panel needed for our hot tub. They were quick to provide a quote and do the initial wiring prior to the winter weather. They were able to reschedule multiple times due to delays in the hot tub delivery, but when it finally arrived they were right on time to finish the install. Skyline Electric is great! The inspector arrived today and said they did an excellent job! Thanks Skyline Electric!

Very professional and quick. My originally scheduled electrician from another company was a no show so I called Skyline, they were able to come a couple hours later. The job was finished in such a short amount of time and the customer service was impeccable. Would recommend!

Let me first say, that I have not officially retained Skyline for their services, but I wanted to give them a shout out for helping me when I was in a bind. I have been trying to close on my condo for 3 months now and have experienced several delays (none Skyline related) along the way. We were finally in the home stretch when my lender flagged the electrical panel as possibly needing repairs. This would yet again delay our closing which was particularly bad timing as our lease is running out and winter is quickly approaching. Due to me talking to Skyline over a month ago to inquire about an initial quote, I knew that the panel was working fine. So on short notice I reached out to them to craft a statement to send to my lender stating as such. I called them at 8:50 in the morning and by 9:50 I had not one but two statements from them that I could send to my lender to help me close on time.I will definitely give Skyline a call when I am ready to do an upgrade. Based on the reviews it sounds like their actual work is as phenomenal as their customer service. Thank you Skyline Electric!!

I can not say enough good things about this company. We had them install 26 lights, install a chandelier/fan box, replace 4 lights, move a light switch, add 2 outlets, move another outlet, and remove 2 different outlets. it was 3 full days worth of work, the guys were here right on time everyday, very friendly, and more importantly, trustworthy. They were responsive with all the questions, and flexible with changes we made after the quote. All the guys really know their stuff and double, if not triple check their work. Kent, the supervising electrician is like a magician when it comes to making things happen that most electricians would have to spend a lot of time figuring out how to make it work. It seemed like Kent researches the latest and greatest technology because he was able to comfortably explain all our options when it came to the different housings and light switches. We are extremely satisfied with the quality of their work and will be hiring them again in the future.
