Real electricians. Directly employed. Serving Evanston.
We're a local residential electrical contractor serving Evanston and the North Shore. Every job is done by our own people — no subcontractors — and signed off by a senior electrician. One phone number, one promise: done to code.
Year founded, team size, and license number are placeholders here until verified business details are provided.
Started with one van. Still answering the phone ourselves.
Northgate Electric was founded on a simple idea: homeowners in Evanston and the North Shore deserved an electrician who picked up the phone, showed up on time, and told them the price before lifting a screwdriver.
That's still the brief. We've grown the team — every electrician directly employed, licensed, and insured — but the way we work hasn't changed. Upfront prices, permitted and inspected work, and a real person on the end of the line.
We do the full range of residential electrical work across Evanston and the North Shore, from a tripping breaker at midnight to a whole-home rewire or a new EV charger. Whatever the job, it's our van in your driveway and our name on the work.
