Hi Funthings - i live in Lake Bluff which is 40 miles straight north of downtown Chicago.
Last month I had an electrican named Eddie from Ferrer Electric 224-944-1511 come to my house to install a new 20 amp circuit including beefier wiring and dedicated 20 amp plug. The stereo space is in my basement. The existing wiring was a 5 plug circuit, 4’of which were in the upstairs dining room and the last of which was the receptacle in the basement. Eddie and his assistant ended up pulling new wires through all existing outlet boxes to reach the target basement box. In the end i got a dual receptacle with a 15 amp dual plug outlet and a 20 amp outlet. The job was originally scheduled to last all day and cost $1k, however it took them about 5 hrs and cost around $600 something,’i don’t remember exactly. They are on Angela’s List. Eddie couldn’t be a better guy. The cost was not cheap, but I’m still getting used to the much higher trade prices in Chicago vs Houston
