Where the work actually is
Avondale, Chicago is organized around Milwaukee Avenue, Belmont, Kedzie, and Elston. The buildings are brick two-flats, frame cottages, and former industrial buildings converted to lofts or shops. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for two-flat rewires, maker-space and shop circuits in old industrial bays, and restaurant build-outs on Milwaukee.
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 Elston warehouses and Milwaukee restaurants, a mix of three-phase remnants and ordinary single-phase storefronts.
Permits and access
City of Chicago permits. An old industrial bay may still have abandoned three-phase gear. We identify what is live before anyone treats it as scrap.
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 food-production compressor on a lighting circuit, or an open industrial disconnect, is the hazard we see in converted shops. Call (773) 721-1111.
