Kinetic Energy

I called Ted just a couple of days before Thanksgiving with an emergency electrical situation in our 110 year old home. He was clearly booked up, but understood our situation was dire and was willing to find a way to fit us in to a very busy schedule. He sent Tara out with an hour and she was able to solve the problem and get our service restored. Ted and his crew are extremely professional and do fantastic work. I recommend Kinetic with my highest regards.

Ted and his crew have been doing work on our Oak Park bungalow for a number of years. He’s honest, reliable, fair, and accepts your problems as his own. I had Ted rewire a bunch of antique light fixtures for our basement. He not only got everything working, but helped figure out the best way to install to maximize functionality and beauty. He swapped out electrical fans. Installed sensor lights outside. Upgraded our amp panel. Generally, I trust that if I present Ted with a problem, he’ll solve it and solve it at a reasonable rate.

Very professional service! Plus good value! Will definitely be using Kinetic Energy again!

I recently hired Kinetic to upgrade my electrical panel to 200 amp service after our home seller tried to pass off 100 amp service with a 200 amp panel. From the very beginning I was impressed with Ted’s responsiveness and honesty. It was also clear that he was quite comfortable working in old homes (mine is nearing 100 y.) and what it takes to meet the expectations of the village electrical inspector (I had a bad experience with another local company on a panel upgrade). Ted also showed a great deal of workmanship before the job even began. In my experience, the job was not all that straight forward, but Ted explained the process step-​by-​step and assured me it would be the right solution both short-​term, and long-​term.
Ultimately, the job was done on time, on budget, looks great, and passed inspection. I will definitely use Kinetic again in the future.

We hired Ted and his crew to do a huge electrical project in our rehabbed storefront space. The previous electrical job was insanely convoluted and we were adding a whole slew of new stuff. The whole staff has been wonderful on this large project, always showing up on time, working consistently and always being clear on what was being done and flexible around the changes we made as the project progressed. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again and highly recommend Ted and his whole crew.

Exceptional! This past summer, my wife and I purchased our first home, a 1920’s 1.5-story bungalow that had not been touched in the past 60 years. Needless to say, everything needed to be updated, which entailed removal and replacement of the full electrical system throughout the house. Luckily we found Ted and his crew. At our first meeting, Ted gave us a complete idea of what needed to be done and what issues may arise. Two days before we were set to start, Ted called, knowing we needed to get into the house as soon as possible, and asked if we minded if he started a few days early because he was excited to start the project. Ted setup shop, literally (he staged a work station in our basement that was meticulously organized.). Throughout the job, Ted kept us up-​to-​date on the current progress and expenses. His crew was efficient and courteous. Ted worked with us on making the best decisions according to our budget and our future plans for the house. In short, there was no better choice for our project, and be it a large or small project, Ted will be the right choice for you.

Ted and his crew did everything you’d hope for right.
Ted showed up to give me a very reasonable estimate on the day I called.
The team showed up on time on the agreed upon date, with covers for their shoes and everything they needed to do an efficient job (since I was paying by the hour for labor I appreciated this).
They noted, explained, and then corrected a couple of other electrical system errors that they encountered.
The work was neatly done and they cleaned up before they left. Not a speck showed they’d been there.
All in all a great consumer experience on my side.

We hired Ted and his crew to run electric underneath two lawns to re-​power alley facing garages on two properties. Ted responded by providing a fair estimate, getting the permits from the Village, and getting the work completed, correctly and speedily. Overall, I was very impressed with Ted’s knowledge and work ethic. He did a fantastic job and I would recommend him to just about anyone.
