Start with the property
Highwood, IL is organized around Green Bay Road and the downtown restaurant blocks between Highland Park and Lake Forest. The buildings are smaller homes, mixed-use buildings, and a downtown built around restaurants. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for restaurant panels, hood and refrigeration circuits, and residential services on the side streets.
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.
Same-day hazards
A hood fan and a walk-in starting together will take down a dining room that never got its own circuits. That is the rebuild. Call (773) 721-1111.
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.
The buildings around it
Most of the non-house calls are downtown dining rooms that share older mixed-use buildings with apartments above. City of Highwood permits. The apartment above a restaurant cannot stay on the kitchen panel. We split those services when the build-out requires it.
