The homes and wiring of Evanston
Evanston is one of the most architecturally rich towns we serve, and also one of the trickiest electrically. Its vintage two-flats, lakefront Victorians, and century-old homes were frequently wired with knob-and-tube or early ungrounded systems that need careful updating, and the large stock of student and multi-unit rentals means plenty of landlord and code-compliance work. We handle knob-and-tube and aluminum-wiring replacement, panel upgrades, and rewiring in these older homes without tearing the place apart, and we are used to coordinating access in occupied two- and three-flats. From the lakefront down to west Evanston, older wiring is the rule rather than the exception.
Why Evanston homeowners choose Peak
You work with real, licensed electricians, not a call center and not a rotating list of subcontractors. We explain the work plainly, quote it clearly before we start, pull the proper permits in Cook County, and leave your home cleaner than we found it. It's why so much of our Evanston work comes from one neighbor recommending us to the next.
