Editorial Review
Our Take on Mr. Mighty Electric
The Google profile, 4.5 from 266 reviews as of late September 2026, lines up with what the written feedback describes: named electricians, clear explanations, occasional grumbling about price. The gap between that rating and the higher numbers on the company's own site is a reason to check the quote carefully rather than a reason to walk away. For panel and rewire work in older Chicago housing, it looks like a sensible call.
Best for: panel upgrades and everyday electrical repair in older Chicago homes
What We Like
- 4.5 rating from 266 Google reviews as of September 28, 2026, a substantial review base for a family firm
- Covers both small repairs and heavier panel, service and rewiring work
- Pilsen base gives good reach across the city and out along the northwest suburbs
- Published availability is 24 hours, seven days, with emergency electrical work listed as its own service line
- Reviews frequently name individual electricians and praise on-site explanation of options
Things to Consider
- Review figures on the company's own website are higher than the Google Business Profile total, so verify which number you are relying on
- At least one visible review found the price high relative to the work
- Licence, insurance, BBB accreditation and the one to ten year warranty range are company claims, worth confirming in writing
- A small team can be stretched when several urgent calls arrive at once

About Mr. Mighty Electric
Pilsen is an odd and useful place to base an electrical business. The two-flats and workers' cottages around West 21st Street were wired long before anyone imagined a kitchen with an induction range and a microwave on the same circuit, and plenty of them still carry fuse panels, undersized services and cloth-insulated branch circuits hidden above plaster ceilings. From that address the crew can reach the South and West sides quickly, the Loop in good traffic, and the Kennedy corridor out to the northwest suburbs that make up most of the published service area.
The work splits into a few clear categories. Straight residential repair and replacement covers outlets, GFCI protection where kitchens and bathrooms need it, ceiling fans, light fixtures, recessed cans, smoke detectors and troubleshooting when a breaker keeps tripping and nobody knows why. Then there is capacity work: service and panel upgrades, circuit breaker replacement, full or partial rewiring, whole-house surge protection, standby generator installation. A third group is the newer load: EV charger circuits, hot tub wiring, Nest thermostats, Ring doorbells, security systems and other low voltage jobs. Commercial and emergency service are advertised as separate lines, and mr mighty electric lists 24-hour availability with a request that customers phone to arrange a time rather than expecting a van at any hour.
That range makes the company a reasonable fit for a Chicago homeowner who would rather keep one number than hire a specialist for every task. Someone in a 1900s frame house who needs a 100-amp fuse box replaced with a 200-amp panel, and then wants recessed lighting and a garage charger a few months later, is the natural customer. Larger industrial contracts, design-build work on a new multi-unit, or anything requiring a big permanent crew is likely a different kind of contractor, whatever the site's general language about nationwide contractors suggests.
On reputation, the numbers deserve a careful read. The Google Business Profile showed a 4.5 rating from 266 reviews on September 28, 2026, which is a solid body of feedback for a family operation. The company's own website quotes higher figures in places and stacks several review counts together, so treat the marketing headline as marketing and the Google profile as the checkable figure. The reviews themselves repeatedly name individual electricians, describe accurate estimates, and mention problems diagnosed after other companies had proposed bigger jobs. At least one visible review says the work was timely but the price felt high, which is worth knowing before you call.
Chicago adds its own complications. Electrical work in the city generally requires a licensed electrical contractor and permits pulled through the Department of Buildings for service changes and new circuits, and the city has long required wiring in conduit rather than cable in most situations, which is one reason a Chicago panel upgrade or rewire costs more and takes longer than the same job in a suburb. Suburban municipalities on the published list, Arlington Heights or Lombard for instance, each run their own inspections. Ask who files the permit, who meets the inspector, and whether ComEd coordination for a meter pull is included in the quote.
A few other questions are worth asking before the truck arrives. Get the licence and insurance details in writing, since mr mighty electric advertises both but the claim is theirs until you see the certificate. Ask what the flat-rate price covers and whether a diagnostic or trip fee applies if you decline the work. Pin down the warranty, because the site's one to ten year range clearly depends on the job, and you want to know which bracket yours falls in and whether labour is included. If you qualify for the advertised senior, military, teacher or first responder discount, mention it when you book rather than at the end.
Compared with the big branded electrical franchises operating in the area, a small father-and-son firm tends to mean you deal with the same faces and get more explanation on site, with less of the call-centre machinery. The tradeoff is scheduling depth: when several emergencies land at once, a small team has fewer vans to send. Anyone with a genuinely urgent fault, burning smell, scorched panel, half the house dead, should call early and say plainly how bad it is.

Mr. Mighty Electric FAQs
Is Mr. Mighty Electric really available 24 hours?
The published hours list open 24 hours every day of the week, and the company advertises emergency electrical service, but its own site asks customers to call for an appointment. In practice that means phoning (773) 406-7500 and describing the problem rather than assuming an immediate arrival. Anything involving smoke, scorching or a dead service should be reported as urgent when you call.
What areas does mr mighty electric cover?
Chicago plus a long list of northwest and western suburbs. The published service area includes Arlington Heights, Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, Palatine, Elk Grove Village, Hoffman Estates, Elgin, Barrington, Bartlett, Lombard, Villa Park, Bensenville and more. The office address is 1913 W 21st St in Pilsen, so city work is close to home.
How is it rated?
Its Google Business Profile showed 4.5 stars from 266 reviews when checked on September 28, 2026. The company's own website quotes higher headline figures and combines several review sources, so the Google total is the one you can check independently.
Do they handle permits for panel upgrades in Chicago?
Panel and service upgrades in Chicago generally require a permit through the Department of Buildings and a licensed electrical contractor, and the city's conduit requirements affect how the work is done. The brief does not spell out how permitting is handled on each job, so ask directly who files the permit, who meets the inspector, and whether ComEd coordination for a meter pull is included in the price.
Are there discounts available?
The company advertises a 10 percent discount for seniors, military members, teachers and first responders. Mention it when you book rather than after the work is finished, and ask whether it applies to labour, materials or the whole invoice.
What kind of warranty is offered?
The website states warranties ranging from one to ten years, which clearly varies by job type. Before agreeing to work, ask which bracket your particular installation falls into, whether labour and parts are both covered, and get the term written on the invoice.
Is this a good choice for EV charger installation?
It lists EV charger installation among its residential services, along with panel upgrades, which often go together. A charger frequently needs spare capacity at the panel, so expect the electrician to check your existing service size first. In older Chicago two-flats a 100-amp service may need upgrading before a 40 or 50 amp charger circuit can be added safely.
Is Mr. Mighty Electric licensed and insured?
We have no credential records on file for this company yet. Ask for the certificate directly from the insurer before booking work.
What areas does Mr. Mighty Electric serve?

Does Mr. Mighty Electric offer emergency service?
Emergency availability is not listed for this company. If you need an urgent call-out, check the ranking for companies that do list it.
What warranty do they offer?
Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.
