Mr Mighty Electric

Not happy at all with the service. Tech came out and inflated the problems I was asking him to fix. charged over $ 300 for a short inspection plus $ 49 service call. Emailed a ridiculous proposal for work. When I called to ask about it he came back and no solution was agreed upon. I asked if he job could be done a little cheaper and they never called back to discuss. Forget it.

Good job, but expensive.
I had 3 pendant light fixtures changed, and a couple of wall outlet covers replaced, all of which took about 1 hrs work and was charged $ 500. He was coaching his son through the installation so he could get experience.
After observing how easily light fixtures are exchanged, I wish I had more DIY saavy and saved money. Definately buyers remorse.
Ricks polite questioning about how much my Gold Coast condo HOA fee and how much the light pendants cost were inappropriate.
Bottom line. Don’t hire them for an easy job. It’s overpriced. Hire a handyman at a lower rate.

Here’s what you get when you call Mr. Mighty: a live person who answers the phone! Seriously, getting an electrician to return your calls these days is tough. But I called Mr. Mighty and got an appointment scheduled for the next day. My project was not an emergency. «Rockstar Rick» and his henchman showed up right on time (and called 15 minutes ahead to let me know they were on their way). I had a small job, involving fishing some wires between the basement and first floor. This was done quickly and professionally. They cleaned up after themselves. They were both great. Now the downside? These folks are expensive!!! They charged me $ 49 for the assessment (which was fine). But the rates for their work are high. But, as they say, you get what you pay for. I would certainly call them again, especially if I had an emergency or a complicated job.

We had a very good experience with Rick from Mr. Mighty. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and polite. He thought ahead about what we might need with our fan installation and told us what questions to ask the light shop before we bought the fan/​light. He was always on time and wore shoe covers when working in our house, which was thoughtful. On his way out he asked if he could see the make/​model of our fuse box to note it for any future calls. We would definitely call him for future jobs.
Update: We did call Mr. Mighty again to have another fan/​light installed in a different room. Rick was no longer with the company, but Frank and Ed did an equally fantastic job! Thank you very much!

When a tree fell on our garage, ComEd cut power to our house and two of our neighbors. We called Mr. Mighty at 6:45am and they were at our doorstep at 8, going to work shortly thereafter. They even moved our backyard electrical to someplace more aesthetically pleasing. Great service!

I have just had two fantastic experiences with Mr. mighty, specifically with Rick. On our first appointment he installed a new light fixture in my daughters room and changed the location of a light switch panel in our master. He did both jobs successfully and efficiently. He was on time, polite, clean, prepared, and communicative. He was also personable, chatting with my curious children and indulging my puppy with a belly rub. I loved the fact that there was a pricing guide for everything he did. No gray area when figuring out the cost of every step of the process.
The second visit was to install a new bathroom fixture and ceiling fan in the master. He discovered that the new fan I had just purchased had a faulty wire that wasn’t connecting to the lighting element properly. After a bit of back and forth with the retailer I purchased the fan from, I was able to get the parts he needed to replace. And he came back when it was convenient for ME on the SAME day to install the parts and get my new fan up and running. Have you ever?! Awesome.
Mr. Mighty and Rick, their rockstar electrician, define customer service and I will continue to use them going forward with all of my electrical needs. I give them my highest recommendation.

Job done, but expensive
We had some flickering lights at all hours of the day, so we called mr. mighty.
They got someone out here quickly, which was nice.
The first day it cost 369 bucks to come out and inspect our panel and the service disconnects and the meter box — about 45 minutes or so.
We scheduled saturday to replace the disconnects for the two units. He didn’t show up and called an hour afterwards apologizing. Re-​scheduled for later the next week. and he replaced them — 550 dollars.
He noticed the voltage wasn’t right, so he called comed because he thought there was a problem with the incoming neutral. Comed came out and said the busbars in the meter box needed to be replaced. Our appliances were starting to fail because of the bad neutral, so i called them back and said come take care of it. 842 dollars.
The job was completed, but I wish he had acted on the meter box that first day after seeing such corrosion. Probably could have saved 550 bucks

The company was very prompt, gave me an accurate time frame at which they could come out. The serviceman was very professional, let me know exactly what was wrong, and fixed it quickly. Even called the next day to ensure that everything was working properly. Great service, all around great experience.

Truly could not be more pleased. During my initial call the operator gave me instructions on how to find which breaker to turn off (the outlet was hot, smelled like it was burning and was buzzing!!! Yikes) before I even made an appointment for them to come out!
Eddie immediately found water in my socket and went above and beyond by looking for (and finding!) the source of a small leak in the bathroom upstairs. He took off the defective outlet & capped the wires. Suggested we run a fan on it for a few days and replace the GFCI.
I initially called at 10:45 and by 1 pm was completely done! I’m so relieved. He went above and beyond and I will absolutely use them again.

Oscar was amazing. My lights went out on the top floor of my two flat building. The house is wired very odd with bsmt, first and second connecting in many weird areas. The house is also over 100 years old so Oscar had a task ahead. He has been here three times total and the price was very reasonable for the work done. He was always on time and professional and cleaned up things he didnt even have to like the ceiling fan before putting it back up. Thoroughly impressed. His knowledge of older wiring and the ability to troubleshoot it was top notch! Also Junior who answered all my calls and emails was very professional and even followed up with me over the weekend off hours. I appreciated the entire service and will be using them again for projects big and small.

I contacted Mr. Mighty to do some electrical work in a older 2-​flat. There were 2-​outlets, and 3 light fixtures that had slowing been burning out over the course of 7 years and it was time to get it all fixed.
Calling in and reserving an appt. was really easily. The staff was friendly and it was easy to set up the appt. The electrician showed up about 20-​min late, but not too bad. He was extremely nice, tidy and wore booties in our house. He explained all the work he was doing before starting work. We had initially reserved a 2-​hour time-​slot, so unfortunately all the work couldn’t be completed in the first visit. A 2^nd appt. was set up with the electrician for the following day. He showed up on-​time for the 2^nd appt, and finished the work.
Generally I am pretty happy with the service. My only ding for not giving 5-​stars is that the rates were pretty high. The work isn’t exactly serviced hourly and it’s a bit hard to determine why certain tasks are charged the way they are. But for solid work, a tidy work ethic, and easy of setting appointment, Mr. Might it a solid option.

Called these guys because there were some circuit issues with one of my units. Oscar was one of the most professional and trustworthy electricians I’ve ever come across. The problem was pretty complicated but Oscar walked me through the process, came back with his supervisor so they could accurately diagnose the problem and then had it done within an hour. The prices are very reasonable as well!

This is my second time using Mr. Mighty, and Eddie came out on short notice as I requested. He found the issues quickly and resolved what was causing the burning problem and gave some advice to resolve the issue. Confident in what he does and knows, highly recommend Eddie.

LET THERE BE LIGHT! December 20, 2013
I’m sure all of us are always concerned when we call service people.
Will they be good? Will they be on time? Will they leave our house
in the same condition (hopefully clean) as it was after they finish their work?
Yes, yes and yes.
Since you’re reviewing Mr. Mighty Electric you already know they have a
fabulous website. For real. No hype.
A living person, Jennifer, promptly answered our call and set us up with an appointment convenient to us.
Our technician, Oscar made a great first time impression. He was on time and
very neatly dressed. We reside in a 3 story townhome and this required Oscar
going up and down the stairs many times and he never complained. Just
replied that he’s use to it.
Oscar was patient in explaining our electrical situation. He didnt try to oversell
anything. He showed us the part that had to be replaced and solved our
problem.
Without Oscars knowledge and professionalism we could have had a fire
within our walls (which we feared).
Oscar had to go on our deck to check the light ficture. It was a freezing,
rainy day. He never complained.
And, ladies, I apologized for my messy house (we have 2 puppies) and
Oscar said «I think it’s really clean». You gotta love a guy like that.
Thanks to Mr. Mighty Electric and many, many thanks to Oscar for
giving us peace of mind. You rock Oscar!!!

These guys are great — honest, fast and fairly priced. I used them three times, once to fix the AC (diagnosed as needing freeon), the second time to replace a used part on the AC and third to fix the furnance. All three times the technician told me about the diagnostic fee of $ 89 (not sure why the other reviewers were charged $ 266) ahead of time and the cost to replace the part. He was honest and showed me the faulty parts and explained why they were faulty. I never felt pressured to fix anything additional. I will use these guys again and recommend them to friends.

Eddie with Mighty came to the rescue on a recent project I installed (I am a designer). My scheduled electrician was a no-​show and the install almost didn’t happen. I was frantic. I spoke to Jennifer on the phone who was amazing and got me in touch with Eddie within minutes. An hour later, Eddie arrived and got started on the fixtures. Not only was Mighty quick to respond but the work was flawless. Eddie is extremely knowledgable and a quick/​resourceful thinker. As a designer, these qualities are priceless. I’m looking forward to working with Eddie & Mighty again soon!

Had them come out to diagnose a problem with a 240v plug. I told the tech it was the breaker, which he changed and now the plug works fine. The issue I have is the pricing. I am ok with the $ 49 service call. I am not ok with the additional $ 266 to change the breaker. Not sure a 10x markup on a $ 20 part is really fair, but I needed the work done. The tech did a nice job, he doesn’t set the prices so not his fault. Only use these guys if you are in a bind.

I called about problems I having with a garage door opener. On the phone the dispatcher said they could send someone out for $ 49. A really nice guy showed up but immediately said he didn’t know anything about garage doors. (???) he said he could do an inspection but it would cost $ 99. He took the switch off the wall and said he thought the circuit board was a problem but wasn’t sure. I asked if it might be the box on the ceiling. He said he didn’t know. He took the cover off and looked at it but really was sure. He now thought it might be the box & the circuit, maybe also the cable. I told him that I didn’t feel that «maybe this, maybe that» was worth $ 99.
Long story short, we called his supervisor, spoke to Eddie who said I didn’t have to pay anything. I told him I was willing to pay the $ 49 since someone did have to come out, but he said it was okay.
The problem seems to have with the dispatcher not sending the correctly trained technician and not with the technician. I appreciate Eddie not charging me. Hence the 3-​start rating. I really can’t say if their work is good or bad, but they seem fair.

Eddie helped me install some z-​wave 3 way switches. What a lifesaver– those things don’t play well with LED floodlights we found out. We got it working eventually. Very professional would use Eddie for any electric job!

Eddie was great! He explained everything, how they work and what to expect. He found the problem immediately — something another electrician could not! Great to work and I highly recommend Eddie M. at
Mr. Mighty Electric.
