Licensed Electricians, Honest Pricing

Contact Howard Simons Electrical

We have been doing electrical work in Skokie and across Cook County since 1992, and the way we handle calls has not changed. You reach us directly, describe what you are seeing, and we get you scheduled. No forms to fill out, no waiting for a callback window. Just a straightforward conversation with the people who will actually do the work.

Call (224) 592-9789 to get a quote or schedule service.

We Answer Around the Clock

Electrical problems do not keep business hours, and neither do we. We take calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. Whether you have a sparking outlet at 11 at night, a breaker that will not reset on a Sunday morning, or a panel issue you discovered on a holiday weekend, call us and we will assess the situation and get someone out to you.

Same-day appointments are available for urgent work. For non-urgent jobs, we schedule around your calendar and give you a clear arrival window so you are not sitting around waiting.

What to Have Ready When You Call

The more detail you can share, the faster we can help. When you call, it helps to have the following ready:

  • The specific symptom you are seeing (flickering lights, dead outlet, tripping breaker, burning smell, partial power loss)
  • Where in the home or building the problem is located
  • Whether the issue started suddenly or has been building over time
  • The age of the home or building, if you know it
  • Whether you have an older panel, a fuse box, or a recently upgraded system

You do not need to know the cause. That is our job. Just describe what you noticed and we will take it from there.

What Happens After You Call

We ask a few questions to understand the scope of the job, give you a clear picture of what the visit involves, and confirm scheduling. With a local company, your questions go straight to the people doing the work. That means you get real answers about your panel, your wiring, and what the job will cost before anyone shows up at your door.

We provide a quote before any work begins. If we find something unexpected once the job is underway, we tell you what it is, what it will take to address, and what happens if you leave it alone. You decide how to proceed. Honest quotes. Code-compliant work. Reliable power.

The Work We Handle

We cover the full range of residential and commercial electrical work throughout Skokie and the surrounding area. A few of the most common calls we receive:

  • Electrical repairs and troubleshooting (dead outlets, flickering lights, tripping breakers, burning smells)
