Most people call a handyman first. A loose outlet, a switch that stopped working, a ceiling fan that hums but will not spin. Those calls often come back to us anyway, because the fix involves the wiring behind the wall or the breaker behind the panel door, and that is where the job actually lives. We handle electrical repairs, panel upgrades, new circuits, and wiring work for homeowners, rental properties, and businesses throughout Wentzville and the surrounding area.
We take calls every day from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM. Whatever is going on with the power at your property, the call is where it starts.
Electrical problems rarely appear without a cause, and the cause is almost never where the symptom shows up. A dead outlet at the kitchen counter can trace back to a tripped GFCI on the other side of the room. A light that flickers under load points to a loose connection or a failing breaker rather than the bulb. A circuit that trips every time the dishwasher and the microwave run at the same time is telling you the circuit was never sized for that combination.
We start every visit by understanding what is actually happening before touching anything. That means checking the panel, tracing the circuit, and testing GFCI and AFCI protection where it applies. You get a plain answer on what caused the problem and what fixing it involves. Decisions about the work get made while you are on the phone, so by the time we arrive the scope is already settled. We'll make your wiring safe again.
Wentzville has grown steadily, and with that growth comes a mix of housing ages and electrical demands that were not always planned together. A home built with a 100-amp panel and no thought given to electric vehicles, home offices, or added appliances can reach its limit quietly. Breakers that trip under loads they should carry, a panel that runs warm, or simply no open slots left for a new circuit are all signs the supply is being asked to do more than it was designed for.
Before any panel work is proposed, we calculate the actual load on the existing service. That tells us whether a breaker replacement, a subpanel addition, or a full service upgrade from 100 to 200 amps is the right answer. We explain what each option involves and what it covers before anything is scheduled. A breaker that keeps tripping is a warning worth heeding.
Older homes in the area sometimes carry knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch wiring that was code-compliant when it was installed but creates real risk under modern loads. Knob-and-tube replacement and aluminum wiring remediation start at the panel and work outward, with new wire runs sized correctly for the circuits they feed. Arc-fault and ground-fault breakers get added where the work opens up access, because AFCI and GFCI protection are part of what makes a rewired circuit safer than what it replaced.
Whole-home rewiring is a larger scope, and it makes sense when the condition of the wiring is poor throughout rather than in one area. We assess what is there and explain the options before any work begins. The wiring done properly, start to finish, is what keeps a rewire from becoming a repeat visit.
Properties in and around Wentzville that rely on a well pump need a dedicated circuit sized for the motor draw, with the right breaker and the right wire gauge to carry a continuous load without nuisance tripping. Irrigation systems have their own requirements, and we run those circuits from the panel with the capacity the system actually needs rather than sharing an existing circuit that was never meant for it.
A detached structure needs its own subpanel feed run from the main panel, buried correctly and sized for what the building will actually use. A garage that runs tools, a shed that needs lighting and an outlet or two, and an electric gate that draws power continuously all have different requirements. We scope the run, confirm the panel has capacity to support it, and handle the trench wiring and the subpanel installation as part of the same job.
A Level 2 EV charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and the install starts with a look at the panel. If there is room to add the circuit without changes to the service, the job is straightforward. If the panel is already carrying close to its limit, we explain what a service upgrade would involve before anything is scheduled. We run the circuit from the panel to the charger location and confirm the connection is wired for the continuous draw that EV charging puts on a circuit.
Outdoor wiring requires weatherproof boxes, conduit or direct-burial cable rated for exterior use, and GFCI protection at every outdoor outlet. Security lighting, motion sensor lights, and landscape lighting each have different circuit requirements, and we handle the wiring from the panel outward rather than just mounting the fixture. A long exterior run loses voltage in a way a short interior run does not, and wire gauge gets selected accordingly.
An inspection covers the panel, the wiring, the outlets, and the grounding and bonding throughout the property. Homeowners use them before a sale or a renovation. Landlords and property managers use them to confirm a unit is up to code before a new tenant moves in. If a property has received a code violation notice, the inspection identifies what needs to change and we handle the repair as part of the same process.
The price for electrical work depends on what the property is actually asking for. What the fault turns out to be, how much of the wall or ceiling has to be opened up to reach it, and whether the existing panel has the capacity to carry a new circuit or a heavier load are the things that move a quote in one direction or another.
When you call, we ask the questions that help us scope the job before anyone arrives. You get the rate on the phone, and what the visit covers is explained before it is scheduled. If the diagnostic reveals something that changes the scope, we explain that before the work continues. There are no figures added after the fact without a conversation first.
We do not offer a free estimate, but the call itself is where the scoping happens. The more detail you can give us about what is happening and where, the more accurately we can describe the work and the rate before we book the visit. For the full list, go to the services page.
We know schedules shift, so we keep booking flexible, and that applies to rental properties and businesses as much as it does to homeowners. A tenant who cannot lose power to a whole unit for a full day, a business that has to stay open during a panel evaluation, a property manager juggling multiple units in one building: these are situations we work around rather than around which you have to work.
We take calls every day from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM. When a problem will not keep, call and describe what is happening. We will confirm what is available and what the visit covers before anything is booked. We keep your home powered and safe.
In a condo or apartment, the panel is sometimes inside the unit and sometimes in a shared electrical room in the building. Either way, the panel serves only the circuits inside the unit, and the service entrance and the shared building supply are a separate matter that falls to the building owner or the HOA.
We handle everything on the unit side of that line: outlets, switches, lighting, ceiling fans, GFCI and AFCI protection, dedicated appliance circuits, and the panel itself where it belongs to the unit. When the problem is upstream of the unit panel, or when access to a shared electrical room is controlled by the building, we will tell you on the call who to contact about that part of the system. Getting the right people involved from the start is faster than working around a scope that does not fit.
Electrical problems don't wait, and neither do we, so if you are not sure where your unit's responsibility ends and the building's begins, call and we will help you figure it out. Give us a call and we will get the power back on.
We serve Wentzville and the surrounding communities throughout St. Charles County, including Flint Hill, Josephville, Foristell, Lake St. Louis, and New Melle. If your property is in this part of Missouri and you are not sure whether it falls within our service range, call and we will confirm.
Coverage in these communities works the same way as it does in Wentzville. You call, we scope the job, and the rate is confirmed before anything is scheduled. Safe wiring. Solid workmanship. Straight answers.
A single circuit from the house works for a shed with minimal use, but a detached garage that runs tools, lighting, and outlets on a regular basis is better served by a subpanel feed from the main panel. A subpanel gives the structure its own breakers and the flexibility to add circuits later without running additional wire back to the house each time. We assess what the structure will actually be used for and scope the feed accordingly.
Yes. If you want to understand your options before deciding, we can scope the job and explain what the repair or upgrade involves. The decision on whether to proceed is yours, and there is no obligation to book on the same call.
We check the panel first. If the main breaker is on and the service entrance looks correct but there is no power, the fault is likely on the utility side and we advise you to contact the utility. If the panel shows a problem, the fault is ours to address.
In most cases, a dead outlet on a circuit with working neighbors points to a failed GFCI device upstream that has cut power to the downstream outlets, or a loose connection at one of the outlets in the chain. We check the GFCI devices and the connections as part of the diagnostic.
An electrical safety inspection before a tenancy change is a practical way to confirm the panel, the wiring, and the outlets are in the condition they should be. It covers grounding and bonding, GFCI and AFCI protection, and the general condition of the circuits throughout the unit. If the inspection turns up something that needs attention, we explain what the repair involves and handle it as part of the same process.
It depends on what the panel is currently carrying and what capacity is left. A well pump draws a continuous load on its own dedicated circuit, and a Level 2 EV charger needs a dedicated 240-volt circuit as well. We calculate the actual load on your panel before proposing any new circuit, and if the panel does not have room for both additions, we explain what a service upgrade would involve before anything is scheduled.
Outlets and lights in the same room are often on separate circuits. If the outlets are dead but the lights are on, the outlet circuit has either tripped at the breaker or lost power at a GFCI somewhere upstream. We check the panel and the GFCI devices as part of the diagnostic.
We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM.
