Jacobson Electric - Wheeling, Illinois

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Jacobson Electric is absolutely FANTASTIC! Brett was so terrific in helping pick out the perfect lighting fixtures for both inside and outside my new home. There were so many gorgeous options and he was so knowledgeable about the different brands and styles that would elevate each room in my house. And the installation completed by Neil was beyond professional. Everything came out looking amazing! I will definitely be using Jacobson Electric for all my future lighting needs!

I saw a lot of negative reviews here but they were very different than our experience. We bought two items off the floor and felt we got fair prices. They were more than happy to negotiate to a fair deal that competed well with market pricing. One of the items, a ceiling fan, they had in stock. They sold us the extended downrod and the slope modifier kit because we were putting the fan on a slope, which the owner noticed and helped us get all the right pieces. We also bought a wall switch for the fan. Our foyer and great room are all set!

Love the fixture in our new kitchen. Was shopping for one at many places over the a few months and it was a fair price. Confirmed with Steve that it was LED & dimmable…perfect. But what wasn’t told to us is that it only works with a few dimmers. And when I asked why it was flickering, I was told that the commercial grade, quality dimmer my electrican used was not compatible. But they have one for $39 plus. Yeah not happening. Should have been advised up front of its special requirements. So it cost me more.

We purchased a light to go over our dining room table there. We were not sure exactly what we wanted as our ceiling was really high. They worked with us to pick out the a really nice piece and it was installed very quickly.

There were some hicups during installation, but they worked with us and they were quickly resolved. The installer who has been with them forever was very professional and knowledgable.

Now we have a new light that changes the entire room. We will use Jacobsons for our future business

Literally was great until it wasn’t. When they forgot to send a piece to finish a job, they told me to go somewhere to buy it. After leaving me waiting forever for an answer I only got going there in person.
Disappointing. Skip it.

Classic Ponzi scheme and has been for decades. Takes customers money in full upfront, tells you it will be in soon then pays past due vendors with your money. Strings you out as long as possible until you appear in the store and make a scene. Buys from other lighting stores because they are not open accounts with any reputable vendors. All you need to do is call another lighting store and ask the lead time, you’ll find out very quickly that other stores can get you the products immediately, while he makes up excuse after excuse after excuse why you can’t get yours. This is an industry known fact regarding the store. Stay away. Caveat emptor.

Fantastic store with fantastic employees. We had our light pendants fixed there and we are very happy with the service. We will definitely be back to get more light fixtures in the future.
