Start with the property
Montclare, Chicago is organized around Grand Avenue, Narragansett, Fullerton, and the blocks just east of Elmwood Park. The buildings are brick bungalows and two-flats with alley garages and original 100-amp services. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for dryer and kitchen splits, garage lighting, and panels that still have Federal or mismatched breakers from a partial upgrade.
How this job is scoped
Double-tapped breakers, mixed breaker brands, and loose neutral lugs show up as flicker, heat, and breakers that will not stay on. The repair is the right breaker and a tight connection, or a panel replacement if the bus is damaged. A larger breaker on the same wire is not a repair.
Same-day hazards
A partial panel change that left the old breaker brand mixed with a new interior is a fire risk we correct, not a style preference. Call (773) 721-1111.
Before the truck rolls
Do not replace a warm breaker with a larger amp rating from a hardware store. The wire size, not the inconvenience, picks the breaker.
The buildings around it
Most of the non-house calls are Grand Avenue shops and small medical or dental offices that need dedicated equipment circuits. City of Chicago permits on the Chicago side of the line. A property facing Elmwood Park may be in the village instead. We confirm jurisdiction before pulling paper.
