Metro market notes

Fuel, outages, and codes near Chicago

Illinois is primarily a natural gas standby market, with 75.5% of homes using utility gas for heating. This means many installations focus on gas-line and meter capacity rather than new tank packages. While Illinois electricity customers averaged 2.6 hours without power in 2024, derecho and severe summer storms are dominant outage drivers. A key consideration for buyers in Illinois is the lack of statewide NEC adoption and no statewide electrician license. Credentials are city or county specific, so confirming local licensing and the Authority Having Jurisdiction's adopted electrical code is important.
