The buildings and the wiring
Old Town, Chicago is organized around Wells Street, North Avenue, Sedgwick, and Ogden. The buildings are brick townhouses, vintage walk-ups, and newer infill tucked behind older facades. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for townhouse rewires, kitchen circuits in narrow buildings, and exterior lighting that has to meet code without damaging a masonry front.
How this job is scoped
A storefront or restaurant build-out gets its own panel schedule: hood, refrigeration, dishwasher or equipment, lighting, and point of sale on separate breakers. Landing all of that on the apartment meter, or on a lighting circuit, fails inspection and trips during service. We trace the house feeder before the equipment is ordered.
Storefronts, commons, and the rest of the block
Beyond the houses, the calls are Wells Street restaurants and bars with hoods, coolers, and limited basement panel space.
Failures we open the same day
A Wells Street cooler trip on a weekend, or a hot dimmer in a plaster townhouse, should be opened the same day. Call (773) 721-1111.
Before the truck rolls
If a store is in a build-out, keep the equipment submittals. A hood and a walk-in that were never on the drawings are how a panel runs out of spaces.
Who inspects this address
City of Chicago permits. Old Town townhouses often share a party wall. We do not run new feeders across a neighbor’s side without confirming the lot line and the service location.
Bordering areas
Jobs here often sit next to work in Lincoln Park and Gold Coast. One dispatch number covers them: (773) 721-1111. Crews leave from 939 W North Ave.
