About this business

I can only do HYDE PARK work until further notice. I am so grateful for all the calls, jobs and kind words from Yelpers! But my staff is way down and I am overwhelmed. Thank you thank you thank you! I just can't service all the calls, so I have to confine my work to Hyde Park for now. We specialize in the intricate wiring found in older buildings. We have years of experience with electrical systems dating from the 1890s through the new millennium. Updating vintage wiring is our specialty, but we are well equipped to design a... read more

Peter was great! He is very knowledgeable, especially about older properties, extremely conscientious, and tidy. You can be sure that his work is top quality, even if it is hidden away in the wall where nobody would see it. On top of everything, he's a nice guy. I highly recommend him. 

Business response:

Thanks Phillip! It was a pleasure working for you folks!

Peter is my go-to in Hyde Park for all my electrical service. I've called him for both large jobs - rewiring a breaker box in an old condo - and small jobs - installing smart switches in a newer unit - and everything in-between. He's skilled, personable, and efficient. I'll continue to call him anytime my wires get crossed, and I recommend you do the same.

I highly recommend Peter. He has a solid and very positive reputation throughout Hyde Park. He rewired my 1920s condo and did a lot of electrical work for my mom out in the immediate Chicago suburbs. He is the *only* electrician I'd use! Why experiment when you have the best?

Peter is someone I would most highly recommend and will definitely turn to in the future. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and clean. I contacted Peter about an electrical problem that I was having and even before coming, he tried to help me troubleshoot the issue. While I wasn't able to solve the problem on my own, the fact that Peter was willing to forgo my business to help me troubleshoot meant a lot. Ultimately, Peter came out on a same-day Saturday call to my home. His communication before he arrived was hel... read more

Thank you Emily! It was a pleasure to meet you and help get this short straightened out. You really do know a lot about electricity! I was quite impressed!

I recently had a fairly extensive electrical short in my house. I soon found out that whoever did the original wiring, did not do the work up to code, and everything was a mess to figure out. Pete was up to the task and got the job done. I would highly recommend him to anyone with electrical problems. He knows his stuff and he's also very honest. 

Business response:

Thank You Steve Nudo! It was a pleasure meeting you and figuring out your rather complicated problems. A bit of a head scratcher, since they felt free to change colors multiple times in the same circuit feeder, and the NEC seemed like a document they had never heard of. But ultimately we prevailed! You folks are very nice and great people to work for!
