Electrician in Logan Square, Chicago | E&P Electric

The greystone is the definitive Logan Square building: three stories, limestone front, brick back and sides, wide stair hall, plaster walls, and three separate living units. Electrically, that means three panels, three meter sockets, a shared service drop, a lot of vertical plaster to fish through, and often a cluttered basement with original fuse panels still live. Upgrading a greystone's service requires coordination with ComEd, the Chicago Department of Buildings, and often Landmarks — especially when we're adding meter bank capacity on a street-facing wall.

The other hot area is the ADU boom. Since the city legalized additional dwelling units in Logan Square's pilot zone, coach house and basement conversions have exploded. Every one needs its own electrical service — a new feeder from the main panel or a separate meter and service drop, a dedicated 100A or 125A sub-panel, separate grounding, and a complete permit package. We do the load calc, the design, and the permit submission.

Greystone electrical work is layered. We often find three generations of wiring in the same building: original 1910 knob-and-tube, a 1950s fabric-insulated re-pull, and 1990s NM cable where the kitchen was updated. Our approach is methodical — document the existing, pull a single new main feeder, then sub-panel each unit with new home runs and new branch circuits. On landmark-district greystones, we keep meter banks and weatherheads on the alley side whenever possible and submit exterior work for Landmarks review when the front elevation is affected.

ADU conversions have become a recurring scope. Converting a Logan Square coach house into a legal rental unit requires an independent service — either a separate meter and service drop from ComEd or a sub-feed from the main building with clearly separate metering inside. We design, permit, and install the whole chain, including the basement unit's kitchen circuits, bathroom GFCI, and hardwired smoke/CO.
