What to expect
Chicago-area properties
Chicago EV projects often require routing from a basement or utility area to a garage, rear parking pad, exterior wall, or common parking location. Service capacity, shared-property authorization, conduit routing, and weather exposure should be reviewed together.
Our family team serves Chicago properties north of Roosevelt Road and selected nearby communities. Share your address, unit or suite, and any building access requirements so we can confirm availability and arrive prepared.

Questions
Home charging connects the vehicle and selected charger to the parking location, equipment rating, circuit protection, conductor route, panel capacity, load calculation, mounting, network needs, and property authorization. Start with the visible symptom, planned project, equipment, or written finding. Sims & Sons can use those details to route the request without requiring you to diagnose the electrical system yourself.
Share the vehicle, charger model, installation manual, desired output, and parking location. Provide safe photos of the panel, meter area, proposed route, wall, and parking space. Confirm ownership, landlord, association, or property-management approval before scheduling shared-property work. Never remove a panel cover, touch damaged equipment, or recreate a hazardous condition to collect information.
Photos help us prepare, but we may need to assess your home before confirming the work. We consider vehicle and charger model, maximum output, connection method, cable reach, mounting, and weather exposure; panel condition, service capacity, load calculation, route, voltage drop, protection, and disconnect requirements; parking rights, property authorization, utility programs, permits, inspections, networking, and future charging plans. We will explain any findings that change the plan.
