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.

Scott responded to my requests immediately. He showed up on time for the estimate. His install crew was great and showed up on time. They completed the project within 2 days. I will be using them again for future work.

I couldn't be happier with the experience I had today. If I could give this company an A+, I would. Their quality of work and responsiveness were exceptional!
Late last night when I flipped a switch, all lights/outlet in that room stopped functioning. Immediately thereafter, lights/outlets in a nearby room were functioning at a very low level (maybe 35% of full strength).
I called the business owner this morning, and left a message. He called back right away and said electricians would arrive at my home in two hours. The men arrived promptly, and got to work troubleshooting. As I walked them around the house initially, i mentioned that my hallway light was not working (unrelated to the recent event). They fixed that, as well! After they opened up the outlets for testing, they took the time to rewire them correctly (the outlets were wired poorly, previously). My wiring and switches are somewhat strange, and they navigated through it all. They asked great questions, and kept me updated as they were doing the work. 
I was impressed by their demeanor and professionalism. They spoke respectfully to each other and to me, and didn't express any frustration along the way. They had to move a few pieces of furniture, and put everything back where it belonged. 
I was so pleased with this experience. I must also mention that I called multiple other electricians this morning. Some couldn't come today, and others still have not returned my call. It says a lot that Scott Nelson Electric responded and finished a service appt well before the other businesses first called me back.
Bravo, and job well done. They deserve an A+++.

Couldn't be happier with the service!  From getting the estimate to doing the work, Scott and crew were nothing but fantastic - punctual, responsive, friendly, hard-working, and professional.  They were also very clean throughout the process and afterwards.  I would HIGHLY recommend using them for any electrical needs!

Scott was very responsive and friendly - I received a reply to my message same day and scheduled an appointment within a week. He was on-time to the appointment and was able to complete the job efficiently, he even installed an interior switch for our new light, which was great. We will definitely be keeping his information on-hand for future electrical needs!

It was a great experience having Scott Nelson and his crew do some work at our house. Scott came out right away to take a look at what we wanted done and quickly emailed us a quote. We responded a couple months later when we were ready to have the work done and he scheduled a day to do all the work. He was always very responsive by phone and email.

Scott arrived on time at 8am with approximately 5 other guys to do the work. The crew that worked with him were polite and friendly and seemed to know what they were doing. They finished the work around 2pm and cleaned up extremely well after themselves, which is important to us. They vacuumed up any dust and everything was left in the same condition it was in when they arrived.

As for the work: He ran a line out under our yard to an existing lamppost at the end of the driveway and replaced a light fixture by a bush on the same line and installed a new light switch to control them in the house. Neither outside light had worked for years and we're happy to have them back. He also installed an outlet on the front outside of our house at the same time. Inside, he ran a new dedicated line to our new sump pump in the basement. He also trouble-shooted 2 canister lights that were having issues and those now work again. While he was here doing that work with his crew, we thought of two other items we wanted done and he provided us quotes to do each one and was able to fit in the work. So we had an extra outlet added to a basement room and he took a 3 switch panel in a bathroom and made it 2 switches and 2 GFI outlets. Previously, the bathroom had no outlets.

We had seen great reviews for Scott's company on Angie's List and he more than met our expectations and we would definitely use him again.

The electricians arrived on time and got right to work.  They got all lights working again, with the exception of one light.  They did try a few things to get it going again, but it was concluded that the issue was within the light itself and not with the wiring.  The guy gave me info on where to get the light fixture fixed and showed me how to install it myself once I get it fixed.  That was helpful!

Replaced an outlet near my sink. They came out right away and replaced it after I could not figure out why my new one I put in was not working. Turns out it was due to the previous one being wired incorrectly but they figured it out and had the minor job completed lickity split! Would definitely call again!

Scott (the owner) visited the house to do the estimating of the job. He was right on time and a very personable professional. The crew chief Mike was right on time to start the job, the guys were prepared and worked steadily. In spite of a few glitches inherent of an old house, all installations were done right and within budget.
I would highly recommend Scott Nelson and his professional electricians.

From the first time I reached out to Scott, he was so responsive. He came out right away to give me an estimate and then he emailed it to me in the time frame that he promised. The work went well and even afterwards when I had a question, Scott called me back same day with the answer. It was great to work with Scott and I would definitely recommend him to others.

We needed to outlets in the basement near our electrical panel, each on their own breaker.  They showed up on time, did the work very quickly, and did a nice neat professional looking job.
