Altho this was a request for a small job, a faulty light switch made it very inconvenient to have no ceiling lights in our family room, esp during the holidays. Because the switch worked intermittantly, we were concerned that it might be something more than just the swcith. (We have an old house!) We live within walking distance of Adams, so called them hoping to get a quick appt. They were booked for several weeks, but I made the first available appt. The lady at Adams agreed that since it was a small task and nearby as well, they would try to fit me in earlier whenever they had a free moment... About a week later they called me one afternoon to ask if I might be at home (and sadly I was not); then they called the very next day and the electrician met me at my house in exactly the half-hour he promised. He was polite, professional, and very capable. He looked at the wiring and the switch, replaced it with one from his truck, and was done in record time!

It went really well. Our project took on some urgency when we had a short that took power out of one of our rooms. Pat was very responsive and got an electrician out to us the next business day. The work was efficient and professional, and we'll definitely use them again. Their hourly rate was better than similar looking companies as well.

Although this was a small repair job, Joe was punctual, courteous, answered all questions. After the lamp was repaired they were kind enough to deliver it back to me. They have completed larger electrical installations for me 2 years ago and I would not use another electrical contractor.

They're punctual. The prices are good. They just did an overall good job. We go back as far as 1993. I would not consider using any other electrician. Other electricians, while they're licensed, they don't have the same quality of work and they just don't do as a good enough job. I've used several people before them for years and they weren't as consistently as good and I just think it's important that people provide the same level of the service. They were informative and did what they needed to do. It was just a good experience for me.

Worked on two occasions this year and very punctual, courteous, careful and cleaned up everything.
They did a lot of work in a reasonable length of time.
The nicest people and very experienced.
Have used them in the past to hang a ceiling fan and other wiring work  and would not use another electrician in our area.

Positive experience, The scheduler and the electricians themselves were timely, dependable, and knowledgeable about older houses and specific challenges relative to the electrical connections.
I would definitely recommend them to others in need of electrical work.

The guy who came out was a nice guy, and the work that he did complete was fine - but before he could finish all of the work we needed he was being relocated to another job and promised to come back the following week - this was a bit of a problem for us because we were in the middle of a kitchen remodel and we needed the work done by a certain day in order to prepare for the next installation in the kitchen. We ended up having someone else finish the job who could get out to us faster.

He came out right away, was very prompt, and did the job quickly. They bill you, so you don't have to write out a check that very minute.

The electrician was on time, very courteous and worked quickly. Prices high, but with resulting quality. Had to order a part, stopped back in a week and only took 15 minutes to install. Happy with experience

THOUGH THE WORKERS WERE NEAT AND PROFESSIONAL, I WILL NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY AGAIN DUE TO INCONSISTENCIES IN BILLING. TOO MANY OF THE ITEMS THAT WE DISCUSSED WERE LEFT OFF THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT AND LEFT AS A MISCELLANEOUS WORK LINE ITEM FOR WHICH I WAS BILLED AN EXTRA $1500. THIS ENDED UP TAKING SEVERAL WEEKS TO RESOLVE BEFORE THEY LOWERED THE BILL TO $900. I WOULD ALWAYS PREFER TO HAVE SOMEONE OVERESTIMATE THE FINAL COST THAN SIGNIFICANTLY UNDERESTIMATE THE COST.
Response from Adams Electric Co
"We do not work in Texas. If this job was performed in Cook County, IL, and it was a contract, we stand by our contracted price. Any extras not listed on a contract would be okayed first by the customer, then billed additionally and separately from the original contract price. Without an Illinois address, we can't even look up the customer's work, if we indeed did it."
