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.

THE BEST!  We've owned 6 homes over 26 years, and these are the best electricians I've ever used.  On time, perfect installations, pleasant and neat.

Purchase Electrical inspection from a 'deal' on Angie's list.
Called Scott to setup inspection.
He performed the inspection and provided a report plus an estimate for items to be fixed.
I had asked for an estimate to fix any issues before he began but I believe he provides this as part of electrical inspection service.

Scott was very easy to work with.  I reached out to him and he was able to schedule my work for 2 days later.  His quote was one of the lower ones I received and because I had a friend who worked with him before, I decided to go with him.  The day of the work, his crew actually came early and were very professional to work with.  Scott stopped by a couple of times to check on the progress and make sure his team was meeting not just my expectations but his expectations as well.  His team was diligent to the detail and did a great job.  They made sure to clean up after the project was complete and even installed a new closet light where they thought was faulty.  Overall, I was very pleased with their work and would definitely hire them again.  Scott is great to work with, especially because his name in on the line and he expects his crew to represent his name properly.

Outstanding in all aspects of work that they did.  The employees were very knowledgeable and courteous.  They did the jobs safely, professionally, and correctly.
We will use them again when we need electrical work done.
We recommend them to anyone that needs electrical work completed.

So impressed from the first response to my call to coming out for a quote to the work itself was all exceptional. Scott called me back right away and scheduled an appointment within two days for a quote. He was on time professional and answered all questions, he also explained what we could expect ie no power, and length of job etc. he explained the information regarding expanding the panel for us to make an informed decision. When the work was done the employees too were on time, friendly, helpful and efficient. We will use Scott in the future for any electrical needs.

Scott came out, showed me choices for under counter lighting for my kitchen. Suggested adding a couple pendants and talked about replacing a ceiling fan in bedroom.
It was a complicated process to get all the under counter lighting in and wired and they did an AMAZING job. The crew was so nice, everything was cleaned up that you could barely tell any work was done. The pendants I bought required a bit more work so the crew came back a few days later to finish those. Ceiling fan was done initial day. The crew was also GREAT at making suggestions about wiring, etc.
I would hire them again any time and will highly recommend them to friends and family. I was recommended to them by a satisfied friend and think we should pass it on!

Mike and Miguel showed up promptly for the appointment and it took them no time at all to ascertain the issue and quickly remedy the problem. Both guys were personable and professional - and not afraid of my curious, barking dogs. Although my lighting problem was incredibly small, I will not hesitate to call Scott Nelson Electric again should I be in need of an electrician's services.

Scott came out to give us an estimate on a laundry list of items that we were thinking about.  Upon receipt of the estimate, we were able to schedule a time to perform some of the jobs the following week.  Scott & an assistant arrived on time and did a great job with all of the installation.  We were worried about how many area of our drywall would need to be cut out in order to run the wires across the ceiling, but Scott assured us that he would keep it to a minimum and would then patch any holes that they needed to make.  Communication was great throughout the whole process and they cleaned up after themself.  Scott did a great job and the lighting looks fantastic.  We plan to have Scott come on out at a later date to finish up the other items on our list.

They were on time for the appointment. He was very professional during the estimate. They were able to get the job done in two hours. Scott Nelson, the owner, came out to inspect the work after it was done. I plan on using them in the future.

It was an Angie's Big Deal, to have the electricity checked. He arrived promply and looked at all our outlets even in the garage, and recommended what should be upgraded. He will send an estimate and then I will know about cost.

My experience with Scott Nelson Electric Inc. went okay. The owner himself came out and he was punctual and polite. He answered questions and didn't treat me like an idiot for not knowing everything there is to know about electricity. I thought the pricing was good for the service. His responsiveness was very good. There were no problems there. He was on time, when he said he'd be there.

Scott Nelson came out and gave me a quote within 24hrs.  He was a very friendly individual and was easy to talk to.  He provided me the final quote the next day and was able to do the work within a weeks time.  His workers (2) came out at the specified time and introduced themselfs and completed the work in a timely manner.  They were friendly as well and cleaned up the area after the job.  I would definitely hire them again. A job well done!

When our dishwasher suddenly went dead, I incorrectly assumed it was due to the age of the unit and purchased a new one.  When the new one was installed, it would not turn on, but the installers insisted that we were getting power.  When a second new unit still would not work, it was obviously time for a professional electrician.  I contacted Scott Nelson by email, and I literally had a response within minutes.  Based on my description of the issue, Scott gave me an estimate and we scheduled an appointment.
Today, Mike and another young man showed up exactly at the scheduled time.  Within a matter of minutes, Mike diagnosed the problem as being caused by an open circuit.  Before completing the work, Mike took the time to show me what was causing the problem.  Since I was working at home, Mike waited patiently while I powered down my laptop before he cut off any of the circuit breakers.  He then completed the work very quickly and even powered up the new dishwasher to show that it was now working.  Mike and his assistant went about their work so quietly and efficiently that my three large dogs never even barked! 
I cannot say enough about what a pleasant experience it was to do business with Scott Nelson Electric!  From first contact through completion of the job, they were responsive, polite, knowledgeable and professional.  The work was completed in under an hour, just as Scott had estimated, and the price was extremely reasonable.  I will definitely use their services again, and I've already started my list of other electrical projects for Scott Nelson Electric.  Thanks, guys!
