Where the work actually is
the Chicago Loop is organized around State Street, Wabash, Clark, and the elevated tracks. The buildings are high-rise offices, ground-floor retail, and a smaller set of residential towers. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for tenant improvements, dedicated circuits for trading floors and server closets, and after-hours lighting repairs.
How this job is scoped
In a high-rise or co-op, the electrical scope includes the certificate of insurance, the service elevator, and the engineer’s rule for where a panel may move. A unit owner cannot tap a riser because the in-unit panel is full. We confirm building capacity before a kitchen or a charger is designed.
Storefronts, commons, and the rest of the block
Beyond the houses, the calls are ground-floor retailers and food tenants that build out inside a base building with strict riser rules.
Permits and access
City of Chicago permits, plus base-building access. Freight elevator time and a certificate of insurance are part of the job, not an extra.
Before the truck rolls
High-rise deliveries need the loading dock rules before the day of the work. A locked freight elevator cancels an otherwise simple device replacement.
What fails in these buildings
A retail panel that fails during business hours, or water in an electrical closet above a store, is treated as an emergency. Call (773) 721-1111.
