Licensed Electricians Serving St. Louis City Neighborhoods
St. Louis city's electrical systems tell the history of the city itself. The oldest homes brick row houses and two-family flats dating to the late 1800s and early 1900s were originally wired with knob-and-tube systems. Homes from the 1920s through 1960s typically have fuse panels or early circuit breaker panels that have long exceeded their practical design life. And throughout the city, renovations and additions have layered decades of electrical work on top of original systems sometimes properly permitted and sometimes not.
- Knob-and-tube wiring
is present in many pre-1940 St. Louis city homes. While original, undisturbed knob-and-tube can function safely, it's frequently encountered in homes where insulation has been blown into wall cavities around it (creating a fire risk) or where it has been extended or spliced by non-licensed work over the years. We assess the extent of remaining knob-and-tube and provide options for targeted replacement or full rewiring depending on the home's overall condition and the homeowner's goals.
- Electrical panel upgrades are one of the most common service requests in city homes. Many still have original 60- or 100-amp service panels perfectly adequate for the appliance loads of 1955, but insufficient for today's modern kitchens, HVAC systems, and EV charging. A 200-amp panel upgrade restores safety margin and opens up the home to modern electrical loads without overloading the system.
- EV charger installation is increasingly in demand across city neighborhoods as more homeowners purchase electric vehicles. We install Level 2 chargers (240V) in garages, driveways, and shared parking areas for both single-family and multi-unit properties, including any panel upgrades needed to support the circuit.
Unlike many home service companies, our electricians do not work on commission. You get an honest assessment of what your home actually needs not a pitch for the largest possible project.

Frequently Asked Questions Electrician in St. Louis, MO
My St. Louis city home still has knob-and-tube wiring is it dangerous?
Knob-and-tube wiring is not inherently dangerous if it's in original condition but it's frequently found in St. Louis city homes where insulation has been added around it (creating heat buildup and fire risk) or where it's been improperly extended. Many insurers also charge higher premiums or won't insure homes with active knob-and-tube. We assess the extent in your home and provide clear options. Call (636) 397-3200.
Do I need a panel upgrade if my St. Louis home has 100-amp service?
100-amp service was standard before the 1970s and may be adequate for basic household use. However, if you're adding central AC, an EV charger, electric appliances, or a home addition, a 200-amp upgrade is typically necessary. We evaluate your current load and advise clearly on whether your existing service is sufficient. Call (636) 397-3200.
Can you install an EV charger in a St. Louis city home or two-flat?
Yes. We install Level 2 EV chargers (240V) in garages, driveways, and shared parking areas for single-family and multi-unit St. Louis city properties. If your panel needs a capacity upgrade to support the charger, we handle that as part of the installation. Call (636) 397-3200 for an assessment.
