Why Chicago Homeowners Choose MidWest Electrical Services
Hiring an electrician is a decision that affects your home's safety and your family's well-being. Here is what sets MidWest apart from other electrical contractors in Chicago.
Licensed Master Electricians
Every electrician on our team is a licensed professional in the State of Illinois. We are fully insured with general liability and workers compensation coverage, protecting you and your property on every job. Our master electrician license means we can handle projects of any complexity, from residential repairs to commercial installations, and we pull our own permits for every job that requires them.
24/7 Emergency Availability
Electrical emergencies do not follow a 9-to-5 schedule. Whether it is a Saturday night power failure, a burning smell at 3 AM, or a tripped main breaker on a holiday, our emergency line connects you to a real person who can dispatch help. Based in Brighton Park, we reach most south and southwest side neighborhoods in under 20 minutes.
Transparent Flat-Rate Pricing
Before we start any work, you receive a clear, written quote that covers the full scope of the job. No hourly billing that runs over estimate, no surprise charges for materials, no hidden fees. If the scope changes during the job, we discuss it with you and get approval before proceeding. You always know what you are paying and what you are getting.
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
We stand behind every job we complete. If something is not right, we come back and make it right at no additional cost. Our warranty covers both workmanship and materials, and we are responsive to any concerns that arise after a project is complete. Our goal is not just to finish the job; it is to earn your recommendation to friends and family.
Locally Owned Since 2012
MidWest Electrical Services is not a franchise or a national chain. We are a locally owned, Chicago-based company founded by Frank Young in 2012. We live in the neighborhoods we serve, and our reputation in the community is the most valuable thing we have. Every job is an opportunity to strengthen that reputation.
Eco-Friendly Practices
We actively recommend and install energy-efficient solutions. LED lighting upgrades, smart thermostats, energy monitoring systems, and proper load balancing all reduce your energy consumption and utility bills. When replacing old equipment, we properly recycle materials and dispose of hazardous items like old fluorescent ballasts according to environmental regulations.
What to Look for in a Chicago Electrician
Whether you choose MidWest or another contractor, knowing what to look for helps you make an informed decision. Here are the key factors to evaluate when hiring an electrician in Chicago:
Verify their license with the State of Illinois and ensure they carry both general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage
Ask for a detailed, written estimate before any work begins, and confirm there are no hourly billing surprises or hidden material costs
Check online reviews on platforms like Yelp and Google, focusing on patterns rather than individual outliers
Ask about their warranty policy and what happens if something goes wrong after the job is complete
Confirm they pull their own permits with the City of Chicago, as unpermitted work can create serious problems during home sales or insurance claims
Look for electricians who specialize in your type of project, whether that is residential, commercial, or a specific service like EV charger installation
