Where the work actually is
Lake Forest, IL is organized around Sheridan Road, Deerpath, and Market Square. The buildings are large homes, estate outbuildings, and a smaller downtown. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for estate service upgrades, gate and outbuilding feeders, generator plants, and Market Square tenant work.
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 Market Square shops and offices, with house panels that serve more than one small tenant.
Permits and access
City of Lake Forest permits. Estate work often includes a gate, a pool house, and a garage that are not on the house panel. Each feeder is part of the load calculation.
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.
What fails in these buildings
An outbuilding that still has a cord instead of a feeder, or a generator that can backfeed the utility, is taken out of use until it is permitted and rebuilt. Call (773) 721-1111.
