Every time you flip a switch to turn on a light, plug in your phone charger, or fire up your air conditioning, you’re relying on the intricate network of electrical wiring running through your walls. This hidden infrastructure powers every aspect of modern life, from your morning coffee maker to your evening entertainment system. When that wiring fails or becomes outdated, your entire world can come to a grinding halt.
Most homeowners never think about their electrical wiring until something goes wrong. But faulty wiring can spark house fires, damage expensive electronics, and put your family at serious risk. Old wiring systems simply weren’t designed to handle today’s electrical demands!
Grasser Electric steps in to provide electrical wiring and rewiring services that are instrumental in bringing homes up to modern safety standards while supporting today’s energy needs. Call today to keep your power flowing safely and reliably all across the Greater St. Louis area!
Your electrical system gives you plenty of warning signs before it fails completely. Flickering lights aren’t just annoying — they’re often the first indicator that your wiring can’t handle the electrical load you’re placing on it. When lights dim every time your air conditioning kicks in or appliances start up, that’s your electrical system crying for help.
Circuit breakers that trip frequently signal overloaded circuits. Modern homes use significantly more electricity than houses built even 20 years ago. Your smartphone charger, laptop, smart TV, gaming console, and countless other devices all draw power simultaneously. Older wiring systems buckle under this constant demand.
Burning smells, warm outlets, or scorch marks around switches represent serious fire hazards that demand immediate attention from a qualified residential electrician. These symptoms indicate dangerous electrical arcing that can ignite surrounding materials in minutes.
Aluminum wiring, common in homes built between 1965 and 1973, poses particular risks. This material expands and contracts with temperature changes, loosening connections over time. Many insurance companies now require homes with aluminum wiring to undergo electrical inspection and potential rewiring before they provide coverage.
Whole-home rewiring sounds intimidating, but our systematic approach makes the process as smooth as possible for homeowners. We start with a thorough electrical inspection to assess your current system’s condition and identify specific problem areas. This inspection covers everything from your main electrical panel to individual outlets and switches throughout your home.
We handle all permit applications and coordinate with local inspectors. Our detailed planning phase maps out new circuit routes and determines the optimal placement for outlets, switches, and lighting fixtures.
Our certified electricians use the latest safety protocols during installation. We install new copper wiring, upgrade electrical panels, and add dedicated circuits for high-demand appliances and electric vehicle charging. During renovation or new construction projects, rewiring becomes much simpler since walls are already open. We coordinate closely with other contractors to run new electrical wiring before drywall installation, making the process more cost-effective and less disruptive to your daily routine.
Today’s homes require significantly more electrical capacity than previous generations. Electric vehicle ownership continues growing rapidly across the St. Louis area, creating demand for dedicated 240-volt charging circuits. Smart home technology, from automated lighting systems to advanced security alarm setups, requires reliable power distribution and proper grounding.
Modern rewiring projects include built-in safety features that older systems lack. GFCI outlets protect against electrical shock in bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas. AFCI breakers detect dangerous electrical arcing before it can start fires. Whole-home surge protector systems guard expensive electronics against power surges that can occur during storms or power outage restoration.
Electrical service upgrades often accompany rewiring projects, especially in older homes with 60-amp or 100-amp panels. Modern homes typically require 200-amp service to handle increased electrical loads safely. This upgrade provides capacity for electric vehicle charging, high-efficiency air conditioning systems, and multiple electronic devices operating simultaneously.
Smart electrical panels offer advanced monitoring capabilities, tracking energy usage patterns and identifying potential problems before they cause outages. Dedicated circuits for major appliances improve both safety and performance. Your refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and other high-draw appliances operate more efficiently with dedicated power sources. This separation prevents interference between devices and reduces the risk of overloaded circuits.
