Every job starts at the panel. Pick a circuit to see what it covers and what usually goes wrong in an old St. Louis house.

Panel upgrades

Lots of St. Louis houses still run on a 60 or 100 amp service, some on screw-in fuses. We swap old fuse boxes and undersized panels for a 200 amp panel, pull the city permit, and coordinate with Ameren for the disconnect.

  • Fuse box to breaker panel
  • 100 to 200 amp service
  • Usually one day, power back by evening

Panel check

Will your panel handle it?

Rough planning numbers on top of about 40 amps for a typical house's lights and outlets. We do a real load calculation on site before anyone buys a panel.

Reviews

Lit up about it.

"Our 1890s house still had a fuse box. One day, one permit, and now the microwave and the AC can run at the same time."
