Where the work actually is
Evanston, IL is organized around Sheridan Road, Dempster Street, Chicago Avenue, and the Davis and Main Purple Line stops. The buildings are lakefront condos, bungalows west of Ridge, and rental houses near Northwestern. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for condo kitchen circuits under association rules, older-home rewires, and EV charging in alley garages or shared lots.
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 Dempster and Chicago Avenue restaurants, clinics, and campus-edge retail.
Permits and access
City of Evanston permits and inspections. A Chicago permit does not cover an Evanston service change. Condo work also needs the association’s COI and elevator window.
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
Student turnover creates clusters of dead outlets and warm cords in rentals. A burning smell in a basement panel is still an emergency, turnover or not. Call (773) 721-1111.
