Start with the property
Riverwoods, IL is organized around Deerfield Road and Milwaukee Avenue, on wooded lots with long private drives. The buildings are large single-family homes, many with detached garages, guest houses, or pool equipment. STS Electric sends licensed electricians for long trench feeders, generator transfers, and services upsized for current mechanical loads.
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 guest house tied to the main house with an undersized cable will show up as dimming and warm connections. That cable gets replaced, not tapped again. 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 very little retail; this is residential electrical on large lots. Village of Riverwoods permits. A feeder across a wooded lot has to miss septic fields, roots, and private paving. We locate those before the trench.
Also on the schedule
Jobs here often sit next to work in Bannockburn and Deerfield. One dispatch number covers them: (773) 721-1111. Crews leave from 939 W North Ave.
