Electrician in Little Village, Chicago

About Serving Little Village

Little Village, also known as South Lawndale, is unique among the neighborhoods we serve because of its thriving commercial district. 26th Street is the second-busiest shopping street in Chicago, and the businesses lining this corridor, from restaurants and clothing stores to groceries and professional offices, all need reliable commercial electrical service. MidWest has been providing commercial electrical work for Little Village businesses since our founding, handling everything from storefront signage circuits to full buildout wiring for new retail spaces.

The residential side of Little Village features a mix of bungalows, two-flats, and multi-unit buildings, many dating to the early and mid-1900s. A common project we handle here involves buildings that have been converted from single-family homes to multi-unit rentals over the decades. These conversions often result in electrical systems that are overtaxed and non-compliant with current code. We upgrade panels, separate metering for individual units, and bring wiring up to code so that landlords and property owners can meet city inspection requirements and keep tenants safe.

The Little Village Arch at the entrance to 26th Street marks the gateway to one of Chicago's most energetic commercial corridors. The electrical needs here reflect that energy: bright display lighting, commercial signage, kitchen equipment circuits for the many restaurants, and reliable power for businesses that operate long hours. Our commercial electrical team understands the specific demands of retail and food service environments, and we work around business hours to minimize disruption. We are about 8 minutes from Little Village and serve both the commercial strip and surrounding residential blocks.
