Amazing! George was polite and not condescending. Very professional. He communicated well and let me know his progress as to when he could come out. Did a fabulous job and would hire again. A diamond in the tide of electricians. You want an excellent electrician go with Karidas.

We were redoing the inside of our garage and wanted to run additional electrical to accommodate a heater. All other contractors provided one number as an estimate. George was the only contractor who provided both a high end as well as a low end number. George's high end number was about 5% lower than the other single numbers given by other contractors, his low end estimate was about 35% lower than the other estimates. George was also the only one who during his initial assessment, identified a potential easier method for running the wiring to allow for the garage heater. Once George started the work, he verified that his potential easier method would indeed be possible. Due to this, our cost was much more towards his low end estimate. George ran the wiring for the new heater, installed the heater, and added new outlets as well as replaced old outlets. We were very pleased with George's work and decided to ask him to perform the work to add more ceiling lights to our garage, and to replace all of our outdoor light fixtures. All of George's work was of high quality. He was always prompt and courteous. We will definitely hire George again in the future.

George installed an EV charger in our garage. It required quite a bit of rewiring because the charger required a 240V line. I also asked mid-job if he could install a second 240V outlet in case we would ever need it. I am very pleased with the outcome and the charger has thus far been working flawlessly. George has provided services for me before and each time I was impressed with his professionalism. His prices may not be the lowest in town, but they are very fair and you get a highly competent licensed electrician in return. He is very responsive and accommodating. I won’t look anywhere else for my future electrical needs.

George was communicative and punctual. I actually needed a little more work done than we originally discussed, and George was glad to oblige (for an extra cost, of course). I highly recommend them!

George was great. He came out on a Sunday at no charge and helped me run wire for thermostat. He came back later in the week on a Saturday to do some additional electrical work. Quality work, good price, and timely. Will call George every time I need electrical work in the future.

He went out of the way to work me in for a same-day appointment and was very responsive to me via phone to let me know when he could come out. He did an amazing job, explained what he did (and how I had done it incorrectly - I'm a curious guy), and I got everything done very well and I'm extremely happy with the results.

George is a one man operation and it was a large project. His price was significantly lower than the large company that I contacted to conduct the same work. He worked on it for 4 days and it was done very professionally. I do some electrical work myself, but I was glad that I hired him, because the workmanship was great with a clean look.
Description of Work: Two ceiling fans installed, one in a room without a fixture or wall switch. Level 2 electric car charger, and whole-home surge protector.

George is an experienced electrician. I am a repeat customer. He even re-installed my medicine cabinet the right way for me. I am glad he did the work and I have more work I am going to be calling on him to do in the future.

I had hired George before with some electrical work in my old house and was very happy, so I called him when I needed work again. He came by to see what needed to be done, gave an estimate and gave suggestions on different brands that might work or things to look for. We scheduled the date of service and he arrived promptly. He had drop clothes and made sure that he cleaned up any mess at the end. He made sure everything was done before he left and we reviewed all the work that was done. George is consistent, punctual and professional. I would absolutely call him again for any electrical work in my home.
Description of Work: We had fans replaced in our bedrooms. We also had some changes done to some of our wall switches in the master bedroom.

George came early to accommodate my schedule. He did high-quality work and charged me less than the estimate. We had a miscommunication and he installed a 220V line. He had already left before I noticed this on the invoice. I called him and he came back immediately and made the corrections. He was very responsive and professional. I will use him in the future and would recommend him to my neighbors and friends.

I've been using them for probably 20 years. They're great. It's a small company that is very professional. I've never had a problem with them. He's capable of doing handymen work. We call him every time we need an electrician. The price is fair. It was an average cost. It wasn't cheap.

Extremely pleased with the service provided by this professional electrician. Will use again given the opportunity.
Description of Work: Replaced 9 lights in a late 1960's home located in Des Plaines. I was able to hire him from my home in Florida and coordinate the work via text. He was responsive, timely and very straightforward. Very pleased with service, price and results. Billed me after performing the work and I remitted payment by check. Highly recommend.

Mr. Karidas was very capable, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. The job was done less than a week after calling him -- even with a 3-day holiday weekend. His price was surprisingly reasonable for the amount of time he spent troubleshooting the problem.
Description of Work: Fixed 3 incorrect wiring issues, one of which involved adding new wire. Also checked our electrical panel for any code violations and disconnected wiring no longer in use.

We have used George's services in the past with good results, so called him first to schedule work for minor electrical repeairs to be done around the house. George was very accommodating - told my husband he would call at 10AM the following day to let my husband know when he would be coming by that day to do the repairs. Unfortunately George forgot to call and had to reschedule for the following week. One the day of the appointment, George called to say he was running late, and when he was told that time was limited as I had to get to another appointment, instead of rescheduling, he informed us to "go find another electrician." Currently in the process of finding someone else to do the repairs.

George came over and gave me a bid on the project. We set a date of the following week to do the first part of the project. He called to verify the appointment and showed up on time the next day. He completed that portion of the project and left my house clean and neat. We worked out a time to install the panel which he again showed up on time and finished the work. He was a pleasure to work with, no problems.

We had purchased a big deal for 4 hours of electrical labor for Karidas Electric. George was very responsive in getting back to us and getting it scheduled. I wasn't sure how long it would all take but George assured me he could get it all done in four hours. When he arrived (on time) we went over everything and George got right to work. He worked quickly and efficiently and got everything done in the four hours. Since he finished everything so quickly, I asked if he could do several other things and he happily agreed. He charged a very reasonable rate for the extra time and materials. I can honestly say that George is the best electrician we have ever used! I now know why he has so many Super Service Awards! He is a pleasure to work with and he made everything seem easy. We will definitely be using George again and would not hesitate to recommend him.
