Electrician in Northbrook

Electrical work in Northbrook

Northbrook, IL is organized around Shermer Road, Waukegan Road, and Dundee Road. The buildings are mid-century ranches, split-levels, and newer subdivisions, plus downtown Northbrook. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for ranch and split-level service upgrades, EV garage feeds, and downtown or Sanders Road area commercial tenant work.

How this job is scoped

A garage charger needs a feeder sized for the run, a disconnect where the code wants it, and a panel that can carry the continuous load. A cord through a door or a dryer outlet used as a charger is not the installation. If the house panel has no spaces and no capacity, the charger waits on the service change.

Storefronts, commons, and the rest of the block

Beyond the houses, the calls are downtown Northbrook and the Waukegan and Dundee retail corridors.

Inspection path

Village of Northbrook permits. A 100-amp ranch that is getting central air, a range, and a charger needs the load calculation before the charger is ordered.

Before the truck rolls

Have the association letter or the property manager’s rules in hand before a condo or townhome visit. Access, not the wiring, is what usually delays those jobs.

Adjacent neighborhoods

Jobs here often sit next to work in Glenview and Deerfield. One dispatch number covers them: (773) 721-1111. Crews leave from 939 W North Ave.

Shut it off if you see this

A split-level with a warm panel in a stair closet, or a retail circuit that trips every time a sign and a cooler start, is a repair we open the same day. Call (773) 721-1111.

We were in a horrific bind At our condo after a surge caused extensive damage to our property. STS was able to come out incredibly quickly when ComEd wouldn’t respond. They assessed the issue, got to work and even was able to get ComEd to turn off and then eventually turn back on power to our building. They were professional, courteous, and clearly experts on the problems that we were having. Sam and his team were lifesavers and I would recommend them to literally anyone who had any issues, big or small.

We have been fortunate to find STS Electric. The team is excellent at their work and most professional. At all times they let you know how the job is proceeding. They have come out late on a Saturday to address and issue. And at all times are polite and responsive. You cannot go wrong hiring them.

Professional, punctual, and went above and beyond. Juan and Jose lined up the electrical boxes so it looks good and added the requested outlets as asked all while I was working from the next room. Will hire again for my future electrical service needs, without question.

I had the pleasure of Sam’s assistance this morning with my tripped breaker. I am a female homeowner and Sam walked through it to get my power turned back on. STS is stored in my phone for future electrical issues. Ladies don’t hesitate to call them!
