Had STS Electric come by to install a new chandelier, pendant lights, and a Nest Hello doorbell. Tom was very quick to respond via text and quick to have one of his team members come over only a few days later. Jose was great - very kind, worked efficiently, and did a great job. Pricing was very fair and transparent, we paid by the hour since it was general work to be done. Definitely recommend STS Electric for any similar electrician needs!

Worked with STS Electric, specifically Tom on my electrical issue on my rental home. Very thorough and had great input on electrical ideas. Gave me all my options and had an honest way about him. Will be doing future business with them. I have to do a more permanent fix on the issue.

I usually do not write reviews but I wanted to thank the man I spoke on the phone. I don't even know his name... I had a power outage today and tried to reset the circuit breakers at home. However, it didn't work. The man helped walk through how to check the outside main power panels and reset it. Looking back, it seems easy and self explanatory. However, he took the extra mile to wait and walk through the steps with me. I didn't know how to thank help except to write a review.I cannot say regarding how his service is but I can attest to the company representative's kindness and willingness to help.

Our wired smoke alarms - started going off at 8 pm, despite having the right batteries and a ladder to get to them all (vaulted ceiling) nothing worked. Tom walked me through safety steps remotely to turn off power and remove them to stop the beeping. Outstanding service and advice, and saved me and my spouses sanity. Exceptional service, and caring!

GREAT COMPANY! After trying to get an electrician to come fix my track lighting for over 2 weeks I was about to give up but contacted STS Electric. I'm glad I did. I messaged them at 10pm the night before...they got back to me within minutes and said they could come by the next morning!! They showed up ahead of the scheduled time....found the issue within minutes ( I needed a new dimmer switch) replaced that switch as well as another. In and out within 45 minutes!! Call these guys...they are great, responsive, courteous, knowledgeable, FAST, and reasonable. Thanks STS!!

Sam and his team is awesome. They installed my tesla charger same-day, without charging me extra! Now I can charge my tesla anytime, the best feeling ever.

We called STS out of desperation at 11 pm when our smoke detector system was malfunctioning and setting off our Xfinity alarm. When we called, the alarm had triggered about 100 times. Sam called me back within 5 minutes and walked me through how to disable the non-Xfinity system, which was causing the issue. He stayed on the phone with me for several minutes to ensure the alarm did not trigger again, and he offered to have me call him for the next few hours of the problem continues. Sam was super friendly and helpful.

Called two days ago for an emergency after all the ice started melting and getting in my house. There was huge amount of water and panel was shorting out. Com Ed never came and told me to call an electrician. I am thankful to the ComEd technician who recommended STS electric. He said he has seen their work and was very impressed. I went with STS electricians and am glad I did. They are awesome.Thanks STS electric.

David & John did a great job today getting my new hot tub wired in. They even adjusted to some last minute changes I made in the original plan without any complaints. Everything is working perfectly and looks great. Will be using STS Electric for any electrical needs going forward.

Thank you to STS Electric! We were having power issues with electric services to half our house. STS Electric sent one of their electricians out very quickly and discovered that it was a Comed problem (even though ComEd said everything was okay). The electrician helped us by working his magic with some of the wiring to get us back up and going while ComEd solved their part of the problem. Good work, great price.

Can't say enough good things about STS Electric and their team. Highly recommend him and will definitely use them again.They gave me a same day quote which was very competitive, and came when they said they would. The old hardwired alarm system had to be re connected, and new alarms installed for 4 apts. 2 light fixtures in a communal hallway had to be replaced, and motion sensor switches installed for the new LED lights we chose

We were first referred to STS by a friend we need the wiring completed in our family room renovation.The technician was on time friendly and efficient getting everything wrapped up according to our schedule. We later had a power outage in our living room with various outlet not working along with the lighting.He went out of his way to make himself available and has everything fixed including installing another outlet within a few hours. I would highly recommend this company

I can highly recommend their services. They were very professional, responded to questions quickly and always with great service attitude. We had to make some changes to the scope during the project and they always quickly quoted the extra work.They did a great job.

STS Electric installed our new electric baseboard heaters and some LED lights. The technicians were professional responsive and competitive on price.They also returned to assist when an issue arose which we greatly appreciated. These guys cleaned up behind themselves. We wouldn't hesitate to call the magain and would highly recommend them to our neighbors.

We called STS to address power surging issues in a 109 year old house. It was right after the 2019 Polar Vortex and STS was very busy. The team found time to do the work needed in between other work and did a great job. They worked until all issues were addressed as upon inspection multiple additional problems were discovered. The crew worked hard and steady even though it was still very cold outside. I would recommend Sam and the STS team.

I have hired them to rewire my building and they worked tirelessly to get the job done since we were still living in the building. They accomodated me and my family and made sure they clean up everyday. Perfect job!!

Reliable, cost effective, trust worthy, professional team. After buying our first high-end condo in Chicago we decided to make some electrical changes including installation of chandeliers, new fans, outlets replacement, etc. We used STS Electric for the first time and we were very impressed by technicians exemplary performance. They were on scheduled time, very well organized, respectful, layed plastic sheet inside the condo to avoid carpet damage, and very professional. Their work quality was precise and our visitors appreciated the quality of workmanship. I would highly recommend them for any electrical work and we will use them again.

I called for a EV car charging station installation quote and scheduled an estimate the same day. STS was prompt, gave us an accurate estimate (very competitive one) and we decided to hire them for this job. It was great, the job was done the same day, I was able to charge my vehicle with no problem immediately (happy). Thank you guys for all that you do, appreciate the great work and fair pricing.

I hired STS Electric to do electrical upgrade to my house since I still had old fuses and was constantly blowing circuits. I needed them to also add outlets and since I was redoing my kitchen. I felt this would be the right time to upgrade my amps and do all new electrical for the first floor since all the wiring was old cloth original wiring. I met with the superintendent at the time of starting the job and since then he was in direct contact with me and my husband. Had really sometimes hard time understanding some of the concepts but when the electricians explained to us what was needed and why.. it made sense. I am so glad I hired these guys and yeah almost forgot these guys are awesome when it comes to lighting consultation... they know what would look good and what wouldn't. Usually you hear stories about how bad the contractors were and what not but I am so glad that we went with STS. They also have great plumbers who are licensed that were able to get some of the plumbing rerouted in the kitchen and change a few pipes. Great work guys.. Please keep it up. (These guys actually clean up after they are done with the job)...

STS Electric arrived on time, put down a tarp to protect our wooden floors, and cleaned up the limited mess they made. They completed two major installations in six hours.They installed marquis lights, patched up the previous outlets with spackle, and connected them to new outlets. John may be somewhat difficult to get a hold of, but it's worth the effort to be persistent. Definitely would hire again.

Yesterday they came to install our Electric Vehicle charger. They arrived on time and quickly got to work reviewing our electrical panel determining what must be done. Then they got to work with the actual installation. Jose and Alex were very accommodating and positioned the charger for maximum convenience. Once all the electrical work was done and the charging verified, they cleaned up the garage and were on their way. The charges were exactly as quoted too. I can't say enough good things about our experience. Finally I know we have found the electrical company to take care of our future needs.

STS Saved us! They were responsive from the first call, came in the window designated and gave a reasonable quote to take care of our work. Being family owned, I felt like they really cared about making sure we were satisfied with their work. I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them if we have a need in the future.

Professional, courteous and competent would easily describe all encounters I had with their staff. Our electricians were Alex and Mike. They spent several days completely rewiring our 90 year old home and I'm delighted with the outcome and with their professionalism and knowledge. I asked lot of questions and had some very specific ideas on how I wanted some things done and they were patient and helpful at the same time they kept moving the job along. When employees have great customer service skills you know that is the culture at a business. As a result of great workmanship I am STS Electric client for life.

I am very happy with the work provided by STS Electric. They were responsive to our request and communicated with us on phone and email to keep us informed of arrivals and scheduling. The friendly and knowledgeable staff took the time to answer our questions and understand our concerns. They arrived on time and efficiently completed the requested task. We will definitely be using them in the future for any additional electrical work.

I normally do not write reviews, but this is an exception I had to make because I had such low expectations prior to be calling this company. My experience at the time was I had been stood up by two different companies and I guess I figured I would have the same experience with this company, but boy was I wrong. I called and spoke to a pleasant woman who took down my information. The lights were flickering in the home and ConEd told me I had to hire an electrician to come out for that. The woman said she would have someone call me back and within 15 minutes I received a call from a woman asking me for more details. I shared my previous experiences with her and she sounded so empathetic and in fact sent a technician the same day. The service was affordable, the technician explained everything to me and was patient for the two thousand questions I had. I will definitely keep them on speed dial if I should have any electrical concerns in the future. I already gave this number to a couple of my neighbors that were looking for reputable electricians.

Tom is doing the wiring for our major renovations upgrading the electrical panel, moving the meter cabinet and installing LED lighting.Tom has been an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He is prompt and responsive, extremely knowledgeable and experienced and is rightly proud of the quality work he does.He took care to understand our requirements and what we were trying to achieve, and offered much invaluable advice so that we could make better informed decisions. He is always thinking and questioning how to do things to ensure the best possible outcome.

STS Electric did an amazing job on my new house as well as many past smaller projects. I have used them for years on everything from a ceiling fan replacement to rewiring an old apartment that had cloth wires to my recent gut rehab. This job is now my home and I love the work they did. They are always very precise when it concerns the details of placement of the lights as I am very particular and they understand and make it exact.I am mostly a DIY guy who grew up in the construction industry but I usually don't do bigger electric jobs out of safety concern and my inexperience with "the code". I cannot rate them highly enough when it comes to professionalism and workmanship. They are responsive, punctual and clean up after themselves. I have recommended them dozens of times.

Power in 5 walls went out in the middle of the night. We tried tripping the breakers and no luck. We called STS Electric Service and Mike and George came out. They were very pleasant to deal with and explained everything as they went along. Mike found wiring burnt behind wall in the circuit and charred outlet behind my office table in study. Hey replaced all the wiring as needed and also fixed the drywall as they had to open some walls to replace the conduit. Very professional. All the drywall work was done perfectly… they just left for me to have it painted. Fixed and all power was ok. So thankful it did not cause a fire. Thank you Mike. I will call them again.

Alex and his crew were fantastic. We had some major electrical issues at our building. We have 200 units in the building and had multiple electrical shorts in 4 units. Our regular electricians, STS Electric, were dispatched immediately. When they arrived, they started working on the problem right away and assured our unit residents that power will be back the same day. They fixed the electrical issues and all residents were very happy with their work and how they clean up behind themselves. Since I am the property Manager, I have to make sure the contractors I hire are top notch and always deliver services on time.

STS is the most professional electrical contractor we've dealt with, with great attention to details and thoughtfulness. The project was to rewire existing residential home and we couldn't be happier with results - work was also done on time and within budget. We couldn't have asked for anything more; we'll be using them again on future projects.

These guys did a fantastic job! They are very professional, and timely. I had them replace my old fuse box with a breaker panel, and a couple of other electrical miscellaneous jobs.They met all of my expectations, as well as rewiring my house that had old cloth wiring. These electricians are experts with old wiring.They will be doing all of my electrical work from now on. If I could get the rest of my contractors to be like them, building our new home would be a walk in the park!Thanks guys!

They have a very nice staff. The electricians who came to help me with my electrical issues not only fixed the wiring but also found another problem that may given me problems in future. They also took care of the lighting bulbs. Their prices are very reasonable compared to the hard work they do.

I used STS Electric to troubleshoot and repair multiple electrical issues and outages in my building I was having after a big lightning storm. I smelt something burning and called STS Electric on emergency. They were sending an electrician out the same night but I figured I would wait till the morning. Once the electricians arrived, they started tracing the wiring and found several sockets burnt and wiring charred. They also had an infrared thermometer equipment and found some of the walls were getting warm since wiring was heating up behind the wall… very scary. I had them do the repairs since the cost seemed reasonable and in line with what my neighbors have paid to do such work. They did and job and even cleaned up. Communication was excellent from the office manager to electricians. Everything about my experience with them was positive from the office staff, to the electricians. They were on time, courteous, and very friendly. Their prices were reasonable and their work is quality!! I'd highly recommend them to everyone!

Had an emergency over the weekend at our building. Half of the power was out and elevator was not operating. This is an assisted living and it is important for all elevators, heating cooling system to be operational. Called our regular electricians at STS Electric and they were out within an hour. I had called the dispatch at 2:30a Sunday morning and the crew was at the building 3:20a. At first the supervisor John arrived and then the crew showed up. All power was restored within 8 1/2 hours and during this time they were able to provide with aux. power source. I can always count on STS Electricians. I would always recommend STS Electric to anyone who is looking for prompt service and fair pricing.Keep up the good work!!!

They called one half hour ahead of time to confirm time/date and arrived on time. They reviewed my electrical needs and explained what they would be doing and the cost to do the job. While doing the job, they answered any question that I had and asked if I wanted something one way or another when there was an option. Very pleased with the quality of work done and the integrity of the electricans! Will be calling them to come back again when I have another electrical issue in the future. Great job! John was the supervisor.

Last week I had a problem with my water pipes and because of that the electric installation, my kitchen was chaos. My friend gave me the number of STS Electric and they were here after 1 hour of my call. They fixed everything fast, and there weren't problems during reparation. I am so pleased by their work, so I have to recommend them. Thanks guys.

I called STS Electric for an emergency electrical situation at my home. In my experience, I could not have done better. STS management, technicians, and office personnel are extremely knowledgeable, skilled, and thorough. I highly recommend STS for all and especially emergency electrical issues.

I worked with STS Electric and they did a fantastic job--one of the best contractors that I have had the pleasure of working with.I had them add recess lighting in my home and change out some of the old fixtures in our home and add some sconces. They got the work done fast and clean. Their plans were flawless and well executed. They finished on schedule and within the budget outlined in their estimate. I worked with Tony specifically, and he was really professional, always returned my calls, and made sure that the work was done to the best possible standard.I'm quite pleased with the work that they have done. The lighting in our home is much more attractive now. My wife complained of headaches before we got the overhead lighting, and she says that the recess lighting has improved things for her since she doesn't have ceiling fans and bright lamps shining in her eyes all of the time.I would definitely hire this company again for future projects.
