Eddie and his team, John and Enrique, provided outstanding electrical service. From the initial contact to the completion of the job, they were a pleasure to work with. Their professionalism was evident in every interaction. They were polite, courteous, and respectful of my home. What truly sets Eddie and his team apart was their ability to clearly explain the issues and provide multiple options for solutions. They took the time to ensure I understood the work that needed to be done and the various approaches we could take. This level of transparency and communication was greatly appreciated. They arrive on time and their estimates are accurate. The quality of their work is excellent, and they completed the job efficiently and cleanly. I feel confident in their expertise and trust their recommendations. I highly recommend Eddie and his team for any electrical needs. They are a reliable, professional, and knowledgeable team that provides top-notch service.

Eddie Morales Jr was the electrician sent by Mr Mighty Electric. He is fantastic! Very capable and polite. Super honest as well. He identified the problem as minor and quickly fixed it. The day before another electrician had proposed major and expensive repairs to fix the same issue.

Came out same day, were able to diagnose the problem, and ordered a new electrical panel for me. Ed the electrician and the customer service reps, were professional and friendly.

(Update) Ed came and installed the new electrical panel. Power has been restored to my AC and kitchen appliances. Great and professional service. Thanks!

FAQs - Residential Electrical Services

How much does a residential electrician charge in Chicago?

Most residential electricians in Chicago charge between $75 and $150 per hour, or offer flat-rate pricing per job. Common residential jobs range from $150 for an outlet replacement to $4,000+ for a full panel upgrade. Mr. Mighty Electric provides free estimates with upfront pricing.

What residential electrical services do you offer?

We handle all home electrical needs including panel upgrades, outlet and switch installation, ceiling fan installation, recessed lighting, whole-home rewiring, EV charger installation, smoke detector installation, GFCI outlets, home security wiring, and generator installation. If it involves electricity in your home, we do it.

Do I need a permit for residential electrical work in Chicago?

Most residential electrical work in Chicago requires a permit, including panel upgrades, new circuits, rewiring, and EV charger installations. Minor repairs like replacing an outlet typically don't. Mr. Mighty Electric handles all permit applications and inspections for you.

How do I know if my home needs rewiring?

Signs include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, discolored or warm outlets, a burning smell near switches, or if your home still has knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. Many older Chicago homes built before 1970 may benefit from rewiring to meet current safety codes.

Can you upgrade my electrical panel from 100 to 200 amps?

Yes. This is one of our most common residential services. A 200-amp upgrade in Chicago typically costs $1,500 to $3,000 including permit and inspection. It's essential if you're adding an EV charger, hot tub, or major appliances to an older home.

Are your residential electricians available on weekends?

Yes. Mr. Mighty Electric offers Saturday and Sunday appointments for residential service calls. We're also available 24/7 for emergencies. Call (773) 406-7500 to schedule a time that works for you.
