My husband and I were very pleased with the overall job. The guys were very professional, polite and courteous, and it was obvious they knew what they were doing. I very much appreciated that they asked questions and did not make any assumptions regarding location and placement of fixtures, color of wall plates,etc. They cleaned up after themselves. And, the total cost of the job actually came out less than originally estimated! I would definitely recommend them and will call them again if we need other electrical work done.
Description of Work: The electricians installed a ceiling fan / light / heater in our living room. This required running wiring from the breaker box in the basement to the attic crawl space above the living room. They also replaced an existing light fixture with a new one at the other end of the living room. In addition, they changed some wiring in the attic and changed the light switch and fan switch in the bathroom. They also deactivated an outlet in the living that was no longer being used and installed a plate to cover the hole in the wall.

Anthony was very understanding when our fan was delayed in shipment causing us to reschedule at last minute. We had two installation experts and they were professional and courteous. They did a great job putting in the fan, helped re-wire our switch and then helped my wife dismantle the old fan to take to our garage. They were also careful to protect our carpet and bed, and were careful carrying their ladder into the house. This is a company that cares about service.
Description of Work: We had a fan installed on a very high ceiling by Rein Electric and the service was outstanding.

Much better than expected.....I have not had much luck with electricians and Rein clearly was top notch-knowledgeable, responsive and prompt.
Description of Work: We had an electrical mess caused by someone else (electrical wiring and re-wiring which caused no electricity in two rooms). Not knowing where to turn, I sought out Angie's list and chose Rein Electric due to their ratings and current coupon. Anthony was extremely responsive and immediately came out to the house to assess the situation. He provided me with two options (which I appreciated) and we decided on a date for service. He sent two of his guys, who arrived on time and spent an entire day rewiring everything . By the time I arrived home from work, everything was fixed. I really appreciated Rein's responsiveness, the fact that they provided me with options and best of all, I didn't feel like they charged me the "South Barrington" tax, which many of us in South Barrington experience (aka...company comes into our 8000 sq. ft. house and increases the price). I will certainly do future business with Rein and encourage others to feel comfortable with their knowledge and work ethic....it is very hard to find a company like this, especially in this economy. THANKS REIN ELECTRIC.....stay honest and responsive and you will beat out the competition!

Rein Electric did a great job. They were punctual, they were friendly, and they were knowledgeable. They covered their shoes in order not to drag dirt into the house. Since the installation was in my home office they made sure to cover all the computer equipment before starting the job to make sure no dust gets into the equipment. They finished the job quickly and to my complete satisfaction. I am sure I will be using them again in the future for other projects.
Description of Work: Some time ago I purchased the Angie's List big coupon for a ceiling fan installation. The installation required installing and electrical box and wiring the wired electrical switch remote control.

I couldn't be happier. Anthony called to let me know his crew was running late due to bad weather. When they arrived they were polite and professional. They measured for the fan positioning and cleared it with me before starting the job. They worked quickly and efficiently and were super clean. I will definitely use Rein for any future electrical needs and would refer them without hesitation.

Anthony the owner was very responsive and helped me make appt. by email. No fuss, no phone tag, just zeroed in on next available date. Also willing to estimate additional electrical work. At install Alex arrived right on time and did a great job. He was very patient & explained everything to us. Excellent work by qualified professionals. Timely and efficient. Good communication throughout and cleanup/follow-through after. The two ceiling fans look great and are working fantastically. I'm planning to call Rein Electrical about a couple more projects later this year.
Description of Work: Big Deal offered Jun. 2011: Replace ceiling fan for $75. I bought two. Rein removed old fans, assembled, wired, and installed new ones.

Anthony returned my call immediately after I left him a message to set up service. He was able to give me an appointment time within the week, even though it was the Friday of the 4th of July holiday. The day of install, he was unable to come at the designated time but did call to let us know. There were a lot of storms recently and lots of calls for lack of electrical power. We rescheduled to the next day, however, within an hour he called back to tell us that one of his other guys could still come over. Alex did come to the house that afternoon and worked meticulously installing an electrical box in the ceiling, wiring the new outlet, and putting up the new ceiling fan. If that wasn't enough, in the course of the time Alex was at the house, Anthony stopped by later as well. That was a big surprise and warranted a job well done by both. The ceiling fan looks great and we would recommend Rein Electric to others and if needed, would call them again.
Description of Work: We used the Angie's Big Deal for a ceiling fan install from Rein Electric. We needed to have an electrical box installed in the ceiling as well to support the new ceiling fan. And of course a new switch on the wall.

Initial appointment was rescheduled due to past due arrival. After that hurdle, new appointment was set and Rein electrician, Paul, arrived on time. Once I described the ceiling fan switch work I wanted, Paul evaluated the time commitment and asked if I had any other electrical needs. I asked to have one outlet converted to a 4 gang. He suggested the use of a surge strip, but I explained how we were using the outlet and our need for the 4 gang. Paul went in the attic and discovered the problem. A previous electrician failed to pull wire all the way to the wall switch. Once he ran the wire, Paul started work on the outlet. He cleaned the area and verified my satisfaction with his work. I paid an additional $16 for materials, a bargain given the usual mark-up on these items! A few days later, owner Anthony Rein sent a follow up email. This extra effort demonstrates his commitment to customer satisfaction. I would not hesitate to hire Rein Electric.
Description of Work: I purchased 2 hours of electrical service via the $99 BIG DEAL. I had an existing ceiling fan that was not connected to the wall switch. I also had an existing electrical outlet converted to a 4 gang outlet.

On the agreed upon date and time, Rein Electric responded promptly and did a wonderful job of installing both the electrical box and putting up the ceiling fan with it's accompanying light fixture. Their work was quick and efficient and they cleaned up everything before leaving. They were professional in every sense of the word. I would highly rate and recommend their work to anyone seeking same. We thought their price for both the electrical box and the installation was great and truly a "deal". I would highly recommend taking advantage of the offers being provided through Angie's "The Big Deal " emails. We knew that Rein Electric had a reputation through Angie's List of being highly rated and they definitely did not disappoint us. It should be noted that Rein Electric subsequently asked us if their work was "perfect". I found that alone speaks for their quality of work and professionalism. How many companies seek "perfection" now a days?
Description of Work: We received one of those "The Big Deal" emails indicating that Rein Electric was offering to install a ceiling fan for $75.00. In addition they would also provide an electrical supply box if needed for an additional $75.00. We purchased their services and a date and time was agreed upon for the installation.

Wiring is required since there are no existing junction boxes. Two electricians showed up on time but they spent FOUR hours on installing two ceiling fans for my master bedroom and a guest room. The fans work but I can hear some humming noise. Wife asked why it took so long and they said wiring is difficult but did not offer any details. Read from other reviews that the same job costs $300. Would never use this company any more.

I have taken your report personally. First let me say that 4 hours for 2 ceiling fans is good, if not a better then average time. I sent you an email (as I do with all my clients) shortly after the work following up to see if you had any questions or comments and you did not reply. You didn't mention anything to me about a fan making noise or I would of been over to check it out.(and I still will, if you contact me)Other people purchase a "Angie's List Big Deal" fan install, and this is why they received the discounted set price. Is a bad review worthy of you not having the coupon? I can't offer this price to everyone or all the time, hence the coupon. I will take your less then mediocre review and learn from it and become better because of it. Thank you for your business.

I had them come out as part of an ANGIE'S LIST BIG DEAL and they couldn't have been nicer. The deal was for 2 hours of electrical work, so when they got there, I had a list of three things for them to do. They got through the first two and went on to the second, attaching electric to the attic fan that had previously been installed with the new roof but wasn't electrified.Most companies would have stretched out the attic fan to use up the rest of the 2 hour allotment, but REIN DIDN'T. He came down stairs and said it was all hooked up now and that I still had 1/2 hour left on my time, was there anything else I needed done? So I had him put some bulbs in lights around the outside of the house that were difficult for me to reach.I don't think any other contractor would have finished in a timely manner, AND let me know I had more time on my allotment.Honest work and a great rate due to the BIG DEAL. I will call them out at full price in the future because of this honesty.THANKS REIN
Description of Work: Install a ceiling fan in the upstairs hallway that once had a ceiling fan but I took it down to install a new one and ran into issues. Fix the confused wiring to a dimmer/fan switch in my daughters room installed by a "friend". Run/attach electric to an attic fan that had been installed with our new roof, but not electrified.

Electrician arrived promptly, began working on putting up ceiling fans, 1 involved creating a hole in ceiling and using attic to access this space. Experienced complications due to manufacturing issues on ceiling fans. Once we were able to obtain working materials, the owner of the company came back himself to finish the job.

We had an old automatic Coleman Generator. We do live in an area where there are some power outages. The old Coleman decided it no longer wanted to help us live in the world of light. We decided we would buy a replacement new generator, decided on a quality brand, Kohler, and used Angie's List to check out companies that installed generators. We called a few companies to have them come to our house. If we felt comfortable with them we would go to the next step of asking for a bid proposal. We did that with Anthony Rein of Rein Electric. It turned out to be an excellent choice. Anthony was very easy to communicate with, answered our many questions and if his bid & written proposal was satisfactory we would choose his company. It turned out his bid for a 14k Kohler was good and included all the extras such as: disposing of the old generator, being able to use our existing transfer switch box (replacements might be about $800), reworking the existing circuitry to add more circuits that we did not have on the old generator, a larger pad to sit the new generator on plus some small amount of electrical work in a bathroom. We gave Anthony a deposit and signed the contract. Anthony always followed up and when the Kohler was shipped he set a date for installation. All went as it should, without major cracks of disaster. The generator was installed, new circuits added (almost the whole house is on the generator), including the upstairs where my office resides in one room which has my IMac computer which I really depend on. (our connection to all the world and beyond). ---Just as an aside, as I was writing this report to Angie's List---guess what happened----my power just went out. Without the new generator my computer would not be working for a while. Of course, I lost my report to Angie's List----too stupid and did not save or copy and paste. But, at least, I am back writing, with the generator giving me power. After the generator was installed the generator is supposed to test itself once every two weeks to show that it is working. It did not do this. I contacted Anthony and he came over to fix the problem and now it does test itself. He also left some extra fuses in case a fuse burnt out. Nice service. I would highly recommend Rein Electric and I also would use them again.
Description of Work: Anthony Rein of Rein Electric came to our house to discuss our purchase of a new 14k Kohler Generator. The generator was delivered very promptly It was installed in one day Rein Electric reworked the existing circuitry to allow additional circuitry on the new generator Generator was tested to insure proper operation in the event of a power outage existing transfer switch was used (did not need to buy a new one) old generator removed from property all material was cleaned up very nice job I highly recommend Anthony and Rein Electric

First, If I could give him an "A+" instead of an "A" ranking from the choses provided to me, I would. Mr Rein was great to work with. I chose three of the top Electricians on Angies list and met with all of them. The quote from Rein Electric was right in the middle. I chose Mr. Rein because of how professional he was and I felt that his style would best work with the village inspectors (who can be difficult). I also felt that he would not take short cuts and the work would get done right (and safely). Anthony and his crew were all prompt, courteous, clean and respectful. The work was done to the highest standards and best of all- the hot tub works now that I have electric to it.
Description of Work: I purchased a hot tub and needed electrical work done. Mr Rein had to work with the village to determine load capacity for my electrical box and then run a new line from one corner of the house all the way across to the other side of the house (thru the basement). I also had a outdoor light and outdoor outlet installed.

I needed a ceiling fan installed in a room without an electrical box for it. The electrican did a great job installing both because he had to figure out a tricky wiring situation and made no unnessary cuts in the existing drywall. We also had some wiring issues with a light and another ceiling fan, and he quickly and cleanly solved those problems. The company was honest with its pricing, and I would definitely use them again. Overall, good experience and glad I had the work done by them.

Anthony and his crew are A+++ Electricians. They arrived on time and tarped off everything to keep dust to a minimum. They were able to install new ceiling fan boxes and supports in a timely fashion and without a drywall dust mess. In addition, they were able to fish the wiring to the existing switch boxes without any additional drywall penetrations! During the fan installation, they discovered an anomaly in one of my existing switch boxes which they corrected during the installation. Their quote was accurate and Anthony (the owner of Rein electric) was very pleasant. I would recommend this company for any electrical work.

Paul (the electrician sent for this job) arrived a few minutes prior to the scheduled time and (thoughtfully) waited until the designated hour to ring the bell. He was courteous, polite, professional and personable. HIs attire and overall appearance was the clean, well-kept look of a conscientious professional. His respect for my home was evidenced not only by the shoe covers that he put on each time he entered my home (as several trips to the company truck were required); but also by his care in covering absolutely everything in my office and the hallway with clean drop-cloths. Additionally, he parked his vehicle in a manner which did not block my garage. As for his workmanship, I am enormously pleased! The installation took less than 3 hours and he left the room as neat and tidy as it was when he arrived... in fact, it may actually be better! ;-D To me, Rein Electric now sets the standard by which all others will be judged. Efficient, professional, pleasant... definitely a valuable addition to my address book! I will definitely recommend Rein Electric to my friends, family and neighbors... in fact, I'm already looking around to see what other electrical work I've been putting off so I can schedule them to come out again. I have utter confidence in their responsiveness and their workmanship.

I purchased the Angie's List coupon for $75 ceiling fan installation, and called the next day to set up an appointment. I left a message and they called me back immediately. I was already impressed with them! REIN came exactly when they said they would, and both contractors who came were kind, organized, and very professional. They worked so quickly and efficiently -- I honestly think it only took them about 20 minutes to install the fan. They put down a tarp and cleaned up their mess, too, which totally won my heart! REIN, I can't wait to use you again!
Description of Work: REIN Electric installed a ceiling fan in my kitchen.
