Charles and his team were very thorough and professional from the very start. I needed a new circuit breaker box and new wiring for an upgrade in my home, Charles came out and explained what needed to be done step by step. A team of 4 guys came to my home to perform the work and were very knowledgable and professional, the work was completed in the aloted time I was told and the crew explained and showed me what they did and cleaned up everything and made sure I understood everything before they left. I would definately recommend Safe Electrical to everyone needing their service. Overall it was a great experience.

Safe Electric Service "SES" recently added seven outdoor up- lights to enhance our front yard and installed a security camera with flood lights. The crew's work was outstanding - all interior piping was a work of art with minimum bends and interference with any existing structures. I was presented with a schematic drawing of the under ground wiring which was a nice feature that hopefully prevents me from cutting the wiring when performing necessary yard work. This project was one of many that "SES" performed for me over the years in their usual outstanding, professional, courtesy way of doing business. It has been a joy working with all "SES"'s crew members and I look forward to working with them in the future whenever I have a need for electrical services.

I became a new customer this year (2026) and had many outdated and broken fixtures to be repaired. Noelle delivered the greatest customer service I have ever encountered, Charles, Supervisor, explained what work needed to be done in great detail, and Mitch, Electric Technician, completed all work in a very professional manner (over & Beyond). It is very refreshing to know that outstanding performance on all levels still does exist. I would highly recommend Safe Electrical. Thank you.

Sari Breslin

Our home is over 100 years old and still had cloth electrical wire. Safe Electrical did an amazing job on what we would consider a very big job. They were always on time, always courteous, helpful and pleasant which was important when contractors were in our home for two weeks! They were clean hard workers, stuck to their estimate, even though there were lots of surprises found! Of all the contractors we have ever worked with, these guys come with the highest rating! Thank you!

Safe Electrical recently upgraded our service panel and split circuits to better balance the load throughout our home, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, Charles and his team were outstanding. Professionalism: The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and treated our home with care. Communication: Every step was explained clearly, and they patiently answered all of my questions. Expertise: The quality of the work speaks for itself—everything was done right the first time, with attention to detail. Customer focus: I felt respected and valued as a client, which is rare these days. I highly recommend Charles and his team to anyone needing electrical work. Their combination of skill, honesty, and excellent customer service sets them apart. I’ll absolutely call them again for future projects.

We contacted Safe Electrical for the upgrade needed for our solar panels installation this summer. Charles and his team were knowledgable, courteous and diligent. Our house is over 100 years old and has had some remolding, but it was only a little challenging for Charles to design the best layout for our needs. Charles and his team returned to tweak our new system as required by subsequent city and ComEd inspections. We are very satisfied with and highly recommend Safe Electrical!
