Start with the property
Norwood Park, Chicago is organized around Northwest Highway, Talcott, Raven, and the blocks south of the Edison Park border. The buildings are larger bungalows and brick ranches on wider lots than the dense two-flat neighborhoods to the east. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for 200-amp upgrades before a generator or EV circuit, finished-basement bedrooms that need AFCI, and detached-garage feeders.
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.
Same-day hazards
A generator interlock that can backfeed the line, or a garage subpanel with no ground, is the correction we make before the equipment is used. 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.
The buildings around it
Most of the non-house calls are Northwest Highway offices and shops, including dental and medical suites with dedicated equipment circuits. City of Chicago permits. Some owners assume a Park Ridge contractor can pull the Chicago permit. The Chicago side of the line is still Department of Buildings.
Also on the schedule
Jobs here often sit next to work in Edison Park and Park Ridge. One dispatch number covers them: (773) 721-1111. Crews leave from 939 W North Ave.
