Following are genuine online reviews from newest to oldest

“Tom provides immediate results in a timely manner. His work is impeccable.”

“Tom helped to remodel our bathroom and came up with ideas to upgrade what was there before. He showed up when he said he would. Hard to find a contractor that doesn't cancel appointments or postpone projects. Will definitely hire him again when there's a need.”

“Tom also fixes audio equipment. I broke the power input on my Universal Audio Apollo Solo audio interface. Tom replaced the power input and got it working again like new. The new input he created was stronger than the stock one. He made the repair quickly and at a great price.”

“We had a relatively simple kitchen project, basically replacing a few outlets. Tom came by to make an assessment of the project, provided a cost estimate and timeline; we were able to schedule a Saturday appointment. He was responsive; communication was great. When he arrived, he had all necessary equipment and hardware. The project turned out to be a bit more complex than originally thought due to prior work (over 20 yrs ago). Tom took care of everything. The work was excellent. He was completely professional. His rates were fair. And...much to my wife's pleasure, he cleaned up the work space when he was done. Tom's great to work with. Highly recommended!”

“Excellent experience working with Tom. He was quick to respond, communicated about the length of the project, estimated quickly and completed the project in a timely fashion. All tradesmen should be and act so professional. I can’t say enough good things about Tom and the quality of work. ’Highly recommend A Dependable Electrician!”

“Tom is efficient, excellent and honest. Doesn’t overcharge. Will use again. I highly recommend him.”

“Tom was great. Thorough, thoughtful, communicative. We hired him to run electrical to install a new hot tub and he also installed an outdoor outlet. Well done. Highly recommend. We have found our electrician!”

“Tom is great! I’ve had him at my house now for 2 electrical jobs. He is fast, responsive, very thorough. I highly recommend! He ran an additional electrical line from the kitchen to my breaker box and has changed out an outlet. Tom also guarentees his work for 10 years.”

“Great experience. We needed an electrician to replace a ceiling fixture and repair a bad switch/outlet and used Yelp because we didn’t know anyone in the area. Tom was easy to connect with via text, showed up right on time, got the work done without any issues, and was reasonably priced. I’m glad to recommend him and expect we’ll be using him again for other electrical needs.”

“Installed outdoor lighting and few other indoor repairs. We’re very happy with the final result and highly recommend  Tom Krol for any indoor or outdoor electrical installations or repairs.”

“We have called Tom twice with electrical problems & each time he has solved our issues quickly & efficiently. We highly recommended A Dependable Electrician”

“We just had Tom out to our house for the third time in two years. This visit was to replace three ceiling fans with LED lights. Last year was replacement of all of our outdoor lights. He is very meticulous with his work and I always appreciate his suggestions to make my house more automated; lights and fan timers etc. He also leaves the space as he found it,...clean. Highly recommend.“

“Tom did a retro-fitting of a light fixture at the front entrance to my house. He also re-insulated the cloth wires and got us an LED bulb in there for better reliability. He then consulted the basement electrical and discussed some major wire remediation of the outdated stuff that would take a few days of labor. He was honest with me and did not over-sell more work. The work was done in a timely manner and he was respectful of my home. When the time comes to do additional work, I will not hesitate to contact him again.”

“I’ve hired Tom several times. He's an experienced, knowledgable, professional. Unlicensed electricians or handymen can do some of the work. They may cut corners or not know some of the finer points. One thing I really like about Tom is that he truly cares. I’ve been with him while he works and he tells me what’s wrong. Tom does everything to code. He always answers all my questions. If he’s running late, he will let you know. He’s a great guy.”

“Everything went great. His estimate for materials was very accurate and he did not overcharge for the time he spent picking up additional materials that were needed when he found several code issues that the inspector missed that could have led to life safety issues. (We were providing a warranty on the house for a year after the sale) After we reached agreement on the additional work, these additional issues were repaired quickly, allowing us to close the sale on time. I would recommend him to anyone.”

“Had Tom install some lighting fixtures and replace electrical outlets recently and am very happy with the results. Have used him before and always find that he is very professional and does nice work. I would definitely recommend him as knowledgeable, skilled and reliable.”

“I hired Tom to replace some switches and fix some minor electrical issues in an older home. He was prompt, courteous and professional. His price was reasonable and everything works as it should. I will definitely hire him again in the future, and would recommend him if you are in the area and need electrical work.”

“Tom was great, did a great job and shared his knowledge which I appreciated.”

“Tom is very prompt and professional. He quickly diagnosed and repaired a problem which turned out to be more than what I thought it was and he did not overcharge. He takes pride in what he does. I have his card on my fridge now.”

“I would highly recommend Tom for any electrical needs. He was very professional and knowledgeable about lighting and electronics in general. He was prompt, courteous and a nice guy to boot. His pricing was very reasonable and he did an excellent job of installing a new light in my bathroom. I will definitely call him for my dinning room light!”

“Tom is great. Very knowledgeable and was able to figure out a great solution for a wiring issue I was having. Additionally, he has installed digital timers and removed and replaced a ceiling fan for me. Both jobs were done completely perfectly. While working, he even took the time to update me with text messages which was greatly appreciated.”

“Tom was very prompt to call back and schedule his first available appointment, I called Wednesday afternoon and we scheduled for Friday morning. He was on time, very nice and polite, fixed the outlet and anchored it to the baseboard so it would not pull out again. Then tested the outlet to assure that it worked properly. Very pleased and would recommend his business.”

“Tom installed a new dedicated 20 amp circuit for our sump pump and rectified some other wiring issues he found that were not up to code. He did an excellent job of keeping us informed about the work and showing us other problems we needed to upgrade to bring the area up to code. We would highly recommend him and definitely hire him again.”

“Tom’s business is aptly named. He is extremely dependable and knowledgeable, and has helped us with many smaller projects that larger electrical firms sometimes don’t want to handle. I would recommend him highly to anyone needing a top-notch electrician.”

“Tom Krol is certainly a dependable electrician. He is true to his word and his work. I am particularly impressed with his careful approach to not-so-easy jobs, and his stressing preventive measures to minimize future problems. It’s one thing to react to a situation that’s a problem already, but it’s another to think beyond the problem to ensure lasting results.”

“We have used Tom Krol for many electrical jobs, both at our home and at our business in Evanston, and we have always been delighted with the totally professional results and reasonable price. Mr. Krol is always courteous, timely and accurate, and we will continue to use his services in the future.”

“Tom was very efficient, clean, courteous and thorough. I would recommend him without hesitation.”

“The first thing I noticed after calling Tom to set up an appointment is he called me back. Some electricians won’t even bother. The first time he came, he fixed the switch in one of our bathrooms since the light would not work. I called about a week later to have him replace the switches in two bathrooms and the GFI’s. I asked if he could do the work on a certain day this week and he made the appointment for the day I requested. He is neat, courteous, and friendly. He even climbed up on the bathroom counter to get a dust spider on the ceiling for me the first time he was here. I highly recommend him.”

“Tom’s great! He consulted with us on the best choices for our new fixtures and did a top-notch job installing them. We’re delighted with the work. Thanks, Tom!”

“Tom came my home right on time and was super courteous. He diagnosed and solved my issue within 30 minutes. He was very knowledgeable and professional, while at the same time, super friendly. I am very glad I found him and I will definitely call him again.”

“Tom was such a pleasure to have completed the work that I required. He was punctual, polite, and professional. He cleaned up after himself and I will definitely use his services anytime I require an electrician. Thank you Tom. Great work!!”

“I called A Dependable Electrician to help me get my 100-year-old house up to code. He did a great job and everything looks great. I could not recommend Tom any higher!“

“Thanks again to Tom for a great job hanging my flat screen TV. I am 100% pleased and will be calling him again when a job is needed.”

“Another great job by Tom. Today he ran my cable wire under the carpet to hide it and I am very pleased. Thanks!!!!”

“Tom is truly a man of his word. Dependable, reliable, courteous, clean & prompt. I have used his services multiple times and would recommend him highly.”

“Great Work! It’s hard to find a reliable, dependable and safe handyman/electrician. Tom was on time and stayed after to help hang my blinds. I hired him back to install my flat screen TV and would recommend him highly.”

“Very professional. Arrived early. We will call him any time we have a problem.”

“He showed up on time, was courteous and professional. Did the work quickly and efficiently. I will definitely be calling on him again.”

“Top notch work! He made sure my wiring was up to code and beyond. He explained everything he did throughout the process. He treated my house like his own. I have an electrician for life.”

“The first time he came, he fixed the switch in one of our bathrooms since the light would not work. I called about a week later to have him replace switches and GFI’s. I asked if he could do the work on a certain day that week and he made the appointment for the day I requested. He is neat, courteous, and friendly. I highly recommend him.”

“Thank you for getting the job done! It passed re-inspection (first inspection was before Tom was brought in). I greatly appreciate your troubleshooting abilities. And your promptly getting the kinks worked out while being responsive to the time deadlines that we were dealing with. Your assistance and efforts are greatly appreciated.”

“Thanks Tom! We are very happy with the work and can relax knowing that you did a great job, in the right way and in a safe manner. Really appreciate that! We’ll always keep you in mind for any electrical work and are happy to serve as a reference anytime.”

“Tom came over and listened to my concerns. He diagnosed the issues needing addressing. He explained things very clearly. He finished the work in a timely matter and was very fair on pricing. I will use Tom again.”

“We wanted to consult an electrician for electrical work in our kitchen and bathroom remodel due to our present contractors not fulfilling their obligations. We consulted Tom regarding some issues. Tom was prompt to return phone calls and answer questions and concerns we had. While we are bound by contract to use another electrician during our kitchen and bathroom remodel, I was impressed with Tom. We kept his contact information around for when we need an electrician. I look forward to working with him in the future.”

“We have used Tom for all of our electrical needs for the past few years and we wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Tom’s work is extremely clean. He is upfront about costs and makes sure to discuss with us any extra cost before the work is done. We have never had any problems with any of the electrical work he has done and most importantly... we trust Tom fully, so we don’t have to stay home while a job is being done.”

“Meeting Tom was like someone giving me a gift. He has done things for me in my house that other electricians have said could not be done. He is totally reliable, extremely courteous and as good as an electrician as one could hope to have assist them with what needs to be done. What more could one ask for?”

“I was looking for an electrician and I came across Tom’s ad which said how not only was he a licensed electrician but also a DePaul music & sound grad and guitarist. I hired him as an electrician for remodel work where I offered him more work for additional upgrades after I saw how quickly and cleanly he worked. I ended up having him do everything on my to-do list. Plus he also gave me many better ideas for rewiring and relocation of switches and outlets. After seeing his proficiency with being an electrician, I hired him as a sound engineer for our video production company and will continue to use him and recommend him to people.”

“Tom does excellent work as an electrician. Very well planned. Very well executed. His efficient way of working solves problems quickly and permanently - and he treats clients fairly and with kindness. I recommend him enthusiastically to anyone needing quality electrical work done with thoughtful care!”

“We are very pleased with the work Tom completed and especially his professionalism and polite manners. These things matter to us and we’ll be sure to pass his name to any friends and neighbors in need of a quality, professional electrician.”

“My clients are very happy with your work. You do excellent work!”
“Tom is totally neat, cleans up nicely and very meticulous, as well as being on time.”
