About us

My name is Scott Nelson. My company is called "SCOTT NELSON ELECTRIC"because I want my own name to be on every job we do. I have been in the electrical trade for over 25 years. I went to trade school school through "Associated Builders and Contractors Electrical Apprenticeship Training Program"(A.B.C.)shortly after completing high school.I am noticed by the "National Bureau of Apprenticeship Training"(N.B.A.T.)as a Journeyman Electrician. I worked for 14yrs. with contractors from the north shore,n.w. suburbs,and northern illinois. "QUALITY ELECTRICAL REPAIRS & INSTALLATIONS"is the best way to explain our service. We believe that being "neat & tidy"is one of the best ways of showing how much we respect our customers,and their homes.Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction.

We initially called Scott to have him install a 4-plug outlet for us. He responded immediately and sent Ben and Eric within a week. We were lucky to get them during a "slow day" because we added three additional projects while they were at the house: wiring for a new light fixture and switch in kitchen, a new light fixture in bathroom, and wiring all our pull-chain lights in the basement to the main switch. They completed all the work and answered all our questions. I was impressed with both the quality and speed of their work. They also did a great job in cleaning up afterwards.
Description of Work: We had several projects: replacing a 2-plug outlet with a 4-plug outlet, wiring for a new kitchen light fixture, wiring basement pull-chain lights to a switch, and bathroom light fixture replacement.

I purchased a home that did not have any outside electrical outlets on it. 2 years later I realized that that was something I needed. I called several companies. I really had the too high and too low experience that reminded me of Goldilocks and the 3 bears. Scott Nelson came somewhere in between and it was a great experience. I was given a window of 830-10 for arrival. They called at 810 to let me know they had been stopped by a train and would be there around 830 which they didn't have to do but I felt important. They arrived, did the work quickly and cleanly and left. It was nice not to be hassled into extra charges. I will use him again.

Job required running new conduit from service panel, through wall and floor to lower level of house, with two circuits going behind a finished wall to a small work area beneath a granite countertop. Scott quoted time-and-material basis because of the uncertainty about how difficult routing the new circuits might be. I saw it as maybe a two-day job, but Scott's crew was done in 6.5 hours. Reasonable lead time (about 2 weeks) after signing work order, firm start date. Friendly and competent crew. Second time I've used Scott Nelson; would definitely go nowhere else for the next project!
Description of Work: Four new circuits to relieve overloads caused by former owner's do-it-yourself remodel.

Scott stopped by, promptly as scheduled, and patiently listened to my situation. Took a quick look around and mentioned that he couldn't figure out what was immediately wrong. However, he suggested I call the electric company to see if there was anything wrong with the outside connection to the house- there was. He also suggested if there were any further problems, he could send a crew out to troubleshoot the problem. He was honest in his suggestion and had saved me some money in the process. No work was performed, but I would not hesitate to call on Scott Nelson Electric in the future, for any issues or future work, that may arise. I really appreciate this company.
Description of Work: Provided an estimate for some electrical issues (temporary brownouts when a/c and refrigerator are both powering up & 3-second power surges in the evening).

This was a very positive experience. I called Mr. Nelson late on a Friday and he was prompt returning my call, which that late on a Friday I didn't even expect at all. I described to him the work needed to be done, and I appreciated verbal estimates as to the costs. His crew came out as scheduled, and they were most pleasant to have in our home. Ben, the lead technician, was courteous and very clear in describing the work he and his co-worker would complete. Knowing the job would entail some cutting into our ceiling, they took great care laying down drop cloths to ensure no mess - always appreciated! I'll call Nelson Electric again for any work that needs to be done. Excellent communication, workmanship and service.

Scott quickly called me back and was able to provide suggestions over the phone on how to fix the problem. His suggestion worked (a GFCI outlet needed to be reset). This saved me the cost of a service call. Very impressed that he would take the time to listen to my problem when he was booked up.

They brought in a big crew to get everything done in 1/2 day which was great. They were very detailed and asked a lot of questions to make sure each installation was where we wanted it. They brought in their own conduits and supplies but we purchased all the fans, switches and other fixtures. In our office they installed a box capable of holding a ceiling fan as we weren't sure what we wanted in the room. While doing the install, they did disturb the insulation in the attic but when we called to let them know of the issue, they were quick to come back and fix it.
Description of Work: We had overhead wiring for fans added to 4 bedrooms on our second floor that previously had no overhead light. They installed the fans as well. In our master they also brought in 4 recessed lights. They also added an overhead light in the first floor office. We also had 2 outlets in the garage added at the same time.

They were fantastic! They arrived right on time, introduced themselves at the door, were totally professional, cleaned up after the work and even vacuumed upstairs, did all of the items on my list, showed me how to use the ceiling fan and dimmers, explained everything and did a wonderful job. Their lead man, Ben, was very patient and thorough. When they had a few issues, he managed to work out solutions so everything could be completed at the visit. The owner, Scott Nelson, who'd come out a couple of weeks before to give the work price estimate, even stopped by briefly shortly after the work had started. He's a really nice guy, very pleasant and accommodating. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend their services.
Description of Work: They installed 2 LED pot lights in my kitchen ceiling, installed a replacement dimmer switch in the kitchen, new dimmer switch in the powder room, installed a new outlet in the garage ceiling for an overhead wall switch operated light, installed a replacement ceiling fixture in the entry foyer and replaced a ceiling light fixture with a ceiling fan/light in one of the bedrooms.

Scott actually came out to see what the issues we were having and then followed up by emailing the quote. He was professional, on-time, and very nice. Mike came out to do the service and he was excellent as well. Professional, on-time, personable, and gave us options of what we could do. I would highly recommend this company for your electrical work.
