My experience until today has been very positive, both for my family, friends, clients and anyone I've referred to this company. I have sent no less than 3 people to them and my family has used them for both smaller and larger projects on no fewer than 3-4 occasions. And then today happened. Skyline was called out in November or early December to install gutter heaters into my 97 year old grandmother's 4-flat. The system was installed, though they ended up staying late because the gutter heaters kept blowing fuses (she has an older electrical panel). They managed to stabilize the system temporarily and we thought there wouldn't be a problem in the future. As soon as the January ice storm hit, the gutter heaters started blowing all of the fuses again. No problem! I called Skyline but this time they sent Kent. While nice at first, his attitude quickly changed later on. I'm the type of person who looks to professionals when I have questions and I rely on them for education and information. I asked Kent some questions and he just seemed annoyed. Upon his return from the supply warehouse, I asked him if I should turn the gutter heaters off in an effort to make things a little easier for him. His response was to call me an a$$hole (multiple times) and then tell me that it's "always the person behind you that is telling you how to run your f#%king business even though you've been doing it for 35 years and have '5 licenses.'" Excuse me? I've done nothing but try to help make things easier for you and if I've had a question, I have asked it (as any consumer would). I don't know everything and I'm hiring you for your time as well as your professional efforts. It's not too much to ask that you be somewhat pleasant during the process. On top of this, Kent did not wear a mask. At the time (01-13-22), we were in the middle of the pandemic and at the peak of the problems with the Omicron variant. Regardless of what you may think of COVID-19, he knew that the owner was a 97 year old. The bottom line is that the job wasn't properly completed back in December and the job wasn't completed today, either. Kent, after his tirade/hissy fit, decided to leave the job site without closing the roof hatch that he opened to examine the electric gutter heaters on the roof. My 97 year old grandmother was left to find someone with a ladder who was willing to help close up the hatch so that water and ice didn't cause hazardous conditions for her tenants. It's a shame that I will no longer be recommending this company due to the unprofessional actions of their owner. They had been great up until this point. Today is simply not something I am willing to overlook. As an update, we're still left with an incomplete job. If Kent receives an honest review that doesn't meet with his approval, his response is, "You're on your own," as evidenced below. Caveat emptor.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Kent, an exceptional electrician who replaced my outdated fuse box with a modern circuit breaker. I am absolutely thrilled with the service he provided. 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. I now have complete peace of mind, thanks to Kent's expertise and meticulous approach. I wholeheartedly recommend Kent to anyone in need of electrical services. His professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail are truly commendable. If you're seeking a reliable and skilled electrician, look no further. Kent will go above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction, leaving you with a top-notch electrical system and a smile on your face.

When you buy a new house, there's nothing better than finding your guys. (Or gals. No sexism here.) Now we've got our electrical guy! Kent's the best. He's super fast to respond to texts and calls. And he's really efficient in diagnosing issues. He installed a complicated chandelier for us, then figured out why we seemingly had no power running to our smoke & carbon monoxide detectors. He's a Nest installer, too, which is harder to find than you'd think. We've had several contractors in who obviously didn't know a thing about it. After everything Kent did for us, he charged us a ridiculously reasonable amount and was on his way. I'll absolutely use him for all electrical everything in the future. Just keep in mind, he may not be able to get to you right away, but he will get to you, and it'll be well worth it. Pro tip: Make the guy some coffee. He likes coffee.

I had a superior experience with Skyline Electric. They are great electricians, handle the administrative details accurately and efficiently and they take the time to make sure the customer is happy with the outcome! When I called (after reading YELP reviews) I gave info on what problems I had (along with what I thought needed to be done). I was surprised to receive a call from the owner. He wanted to work with me over the phone to possibly resolve the issue (for free!) and eliminate the need for a service call. Who does that?? We weren't able to fix it, so his guys came out. Very professional and friendly. We still had problems with an old fixture. The owner came to work with his crew, but didn't charge me for this extra time. My bill was very reasonable and all matters were fixed. Skyline is now "my" electrician. They are a real find

  • Neela Rad

My experience with Skyline electric has been nothing short of amazing. I needed help with fixing my thermostat for a line voltage HVAC system. It was a challenging job that not many could do and most of the people I reached out to were reluctant since the task involved was complex. Kent from Skyline electric was brilliant – he was knowledgeable and understood my need from our initial conversation. He even went the extra mile to ensure I was confident and comfortable with this installation by showing examples of successful installations at various other condos. He was prompt and very professional. He even recommended we install a four-position switch that would help set fan speed as required. I am completely satisfied with his quality of service and cost. I definitely would recommend him for any future electrical jobs.

  • Audrey Ferier

Kent and his team did an incredible job! We had recessed lights, pendants, and new light-switches installed by Skyline. - We had a great initial consult by Kent over the placement and size of the lights. This helped us a lot. - We used Halo Home recessed lights, its a new technology where the color warmth is changeable and dimmable from your phone. We had them installed and everything works perfectly. - The lights are perfectly alligned. - Gloves were used to avoid marks on the glass pendants. - Kent's team left the house in a clean state, great people, it was a pleasure having them over. - We received a call 2 weeks later if everything was still working. Great after care service as well! Overall exceptional work and service for a fair price! 200% recommended!

  • Natalia Perlova

These guys are great. I hired Skyline to fix the front and back lights for our 3 story building in Lincoln Park a couple of years ago, and had them work on multiple things for my own condo today. They are all very professional and knowledgeable! Both Kent from a couple of years ago, and Tom with his "buddy boy" helper :) who were here today, did a great job. And when Tom did not have a tool he needed to cut the kitchen island cabinet, so that it would not crack, he called the office and had the right tools delivered very quickly. Jeanette, who is the owner (i think) and handles appointments, is awesome too. Highly recommend this company!

  • Ken Park

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!!!

  • Lucy Bailey

I cannot say enough great things about Skyline Electric - Kent and Nic did an amazing job installing several light fixtures in my new condo. They were extremely knowledgeable, quick and professional, leaving the place spotless when they left. Jeanette in the office was also really great to work with - very communicative and responsive, even managing to get all of the necessary approval forms to my building's management office within 24 hours (which they hand delivered). I have already recommended them to friends and will definitely be using them for all of my future electrical needs!

  • Steven Sredzinski

Kent was great to work with. We recently bought a home that needed extensive electrical work (replacing and moving an electrical panel) in order to install a new electric hot water heater and Kent and Aldo got it done quickly and at a reasonable price. Scheduling was very flexible - the job was done over the weekend which worked best with my schedule. Kent does quality work and doesn't cut any corners - it is rare to find a tradesman you can trust. We 100% plan to work with Skyline again in the future.

  • Megan McNiven

Skyline Electric was AWESOME to work with! They showed up exactly around when they said they would and completed all the work quickly. They also went above and beyond by recommending that I not change all of the outlets that I originally was going to since they checked each one and tightened everything and they looked good! I appreciated the honesty and that they still checked them and tightened everything up. Great company & I will definitely be using them for all my future electrical needs!

  • Anna Jeong

I called on a Sunday, and Kent was able to come to the house ASAP (within 30 minutes). Over the phone, Kent immediately diagnosed the problem we had been dealing with for over a week. He was able to thoroughly explain the cause of the problem, the fix, as well as how to prevent a recurrence of the issue. He was extremely professional, and we will absolutely be using Skyline for future electrical work in our home. I would recommend the company to anyone looking for an experienced electrician.

  • Rishi Wignarajah

Kent the owner came to do work on my unit and left all the wires live as he was going to come the next morning to finish the job. He did not show up to multiple jobs the next day including mine.and his office could not reach him. He finally called in the evening and came to finish the job. Kent the owner has the worst social / people skills that I have ever seen. He is condescending and just deplorable human being. I will never hire this guy even if he is the last electrician in the world.

  • Cram Jacobs

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!

  • Rosie Clayton

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!

  • Mehak Qadeer

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%.

  • Alison Bloomquist

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!

  • Andy Shiffman

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.

  • Samantha Sklar

I found this company based on google reviews, and they did not let me down. I had Kent wire my entire security system in my new home. He and his crew were not only a pleasure to be around (which is such a bonus), but cared about the quality of their work and that everything was done properly in a timely manner. Quotes were all accurate and fair. I would 100% use Skyline Electric again for further electrical needs.

  • Chris Carron

I'm not one to go out of my way to write reviews, but I feel compelled to do so for Skyline Electric. I truly cannot say enough good things about my experience. They were incredibly easy to work with and even managed to accommodate our urgent needs on a Sunday. Kent was very friendly and knowledgeable, and solved our problem within minutes. I will absolutely be calling them again whenever I have electrical needs.

  • Alex Rodriguez

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!

  • Daniel Natsag

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!

  • Melisa

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!

  • Steven Lee

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.

  • Laura Brizgis

Kent was a wonderful electrician that went out of his way to come fix an issue on off-hours. He not only fixed the issue, but also installed three new smart-switches within an hour. He was friendly, helpful, and most importantly, I trust the work that he completed is done right and safely! Thanks Kent!

  • Daniel Klein

Kent is amazing! He gets the job done quickly and inexpensively. He was able to work through some issues we had with our wiring. He definitely went the extra mile and make sure we were satisfied after the job was completed. I would highly recommend him for any electrical work whatsoever.

  • Brandon Taylor

Kent from Skyline Electric just did a remarkable job for me. I first asked him in to solve an electrical problem with my furnace which two other tradesmen had failed to correct. He figured it out immediately. So I asked him to walk through

  • Rebecca Bricker
