The buildings and the wiring
Kenilworth, IL is organized around Sheridan Road and Kenilworth Avenue. The buildings are large single-family homes on deep lots, with carriage houses and long driveways. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for service upgrades for modern mechanical loads, carriage-house and pool feeders, and generator transfers.
How this job is scoped
A generator only belongs on a listed interlock or transfer switch that keeps it off the utility lines. Backfeeding a dryer outlet is how a line worker gets hurt. We match the kit to the actual panel, permit it, and leave the inlet and the main labeled.
Storefronts, commons, and the rest of the block
Beyond the houses, the calls are almost no retail corridor; the work is residential and the occasional home office or studio.
Failures we open the same day
A generator backfeed, or a pool equipment panel with a failed GFCI, is shut off until it is rebuilt under the village inspection. Call (773) 721-1111.
Before the truck rolls
For a generator, we need the panel brand and a clear path from the meter to where the inlet can sit. A kit bought for a different panel is a common restart.
Who inspects this address
Village of Kenilworth permits. These are not Chicago inspections. A long feeder to a carriage house has to be sized and buried correctly the first time.
Bordering areas
Jobs here often sit next to work in Wilmette and Winnetka. One dispatch number covers them: (773) 721-1111. Crews leave from 939 W North Ave.
