Where the work actually is
Forest Park, IL is organized around Madison Street and Harlem Avenue. The buildings are brick two-flats, bungalows, and courtyard buildings, with a lively Madison Street. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for two-flat rewires, Madison Street restaurant and bar circuits, and bungalow service upgrades.
How this job is scoped
A storefront or restaurant build-out gets its own panel schedule: hood, refrigeration, dishwasher or equipment, lighting, and point of sale on separate breakers. Landing all of that on the apartment meter, or on a lighting circuit, fails inspection and trips during service. We trace the house feeder before the equipment is ordered.
Storefronts, commons, and the rest of the block
Beyond the houses, the calls are Madison Street dining and retail in older mixed-use buildings.
Permits and access
Village of Forest Park permits. The apartment over a Madison Street bar needs its own meter and panel when the build-out increases the commercial load.
Before the truck rolls
If a store is in a build-out, keep the equipment submittals. A hood and a walk-in that were never on the drawings are how a panel runs out of spaces.
What fails in these buildings
A bar panel in a wet basement, or a two-flat with a stolen neutral showing as bright and dim lights, is an emergency. Call (773) 721-1111.
