New Construction Electrician in St. Louis

As experienced electricians in St. Louis and the St. Charles County region, we know exactly what is needed to complete your project efficiently and cost-effectively. Our licensed staff will work with you and be available for any questions or concerns that you have along the way. We won’t cut corners because we want to keep you as a customer even after construction is finished. Our new construction electrical services include:

Electrical Panels from 200A to 800A and Above

Today’s homes have greater power demands than ever before, with a growing number of sophisticated appliances and electronics. We specialize in installing robust electrical panels, ranging from the standard 200A for most single-family homes to 800A and beyond for larger, more complex custom builds.

A properly sized panel is fundamental for preventing issues, like a frequently tripping circuit breaker, and ensuring you have ample power for all your needs. Our master electrician will assess your planned usage and future goals to recommend the ideal panel size for your new construction.

Energy Efficient Lighting Fixtures

Interior and exterior lighting brings a space to life, but it also draws power. Modern energy-efficient lighting gives you the atmosphere you want without overworking the system. We install LED light fixtures, recessed lighting, dimmer setups, and smart-controlled systems that save power without cutting back on brightness.

No matter if you’re finishing a kitchen remodel or building a new bathroom, we’ll help you pick lighting that works for the space and your habits. Some clients want a soft evening light and automatic settings for the morning. Others care most about reducing their monthly energy use. We help strike that balance between style and function, wiring light fixtures that work the way you need them to.

Custom Wiring Specific to Your Needs

Your lifestyle dictates how you use your home, and your electrical wiring should reflect that. We offer custom wiring solutions designed around your specific activities and preferences. This could mean installing a dedicated circuit for your home office equipment, wiring for a home automation system that allows you to control your lights and thermostat from your phone, or setting up the perfect surround sound in your family room.

We take the time to understand how you live, planning a wiring infrastructure that supports your daily routines and future home improvement aspirations seamlessly.

Whole-Home Surge Protection

We often think about protecting our expensive electronics with a power strip, but a whole-home surge protector offers a far more comprehensive defense. This device is installed at your electrical panel and shields your entire system from powerful electrical surges, which can originate from lightning strikes or issues with the utility grid.

A sudden power outage can be followed by a surge when the power returns, putting every appliance with a circuit board at risk, such as your refrigerator and your television. Investing in a whole-home surge protector is a proactive measure to safeguard your valuable electronics and prevent costly damage.

Outlets, Switches, Paddle Fans & More

Updates to a room often call for more than just new lights. Our crew installs light switches, dimmers, USB outlets, and smart home integrations that support your lifestyle. We wire paddle fans with light kits, bathroom ventilation, and recessed lighting for smooth functionality.

Sometimes, a home improvement project begins with a simple need: “Can we get outlets in this corner?” or “Can we swap out this light switch for a dimmer?” We handle all of that. And if a handyman started the work but didn’t finish it right, we’re happy to step in and make it safe again.

Why Choose a Professional Remodeling Electrician Over DIY

Working on your home’s electrical system might seem straightforward at first glance, but a lot happens behind the walls that requires serious skill for long-term safety and performance. A switch may appear simple, but the wires feeding into it connect to a much larger system that affects the rest of your home. Any misstep — wrong wire, loose connection, or outdated part — can lead to bigger problems like power outages, circuit overloads, or fire hazards.

As experienced St. Louis electricians, we know exactly what is needed to complete your project efficiently and cost-effectively. Our licensed electricians will work with you and be available for any questions or concerns that you have along the way. We won’t cut corners because we want to keep you as a customer even after construction is finished.

How the Process Works

We know how overwhelming the process can be, and the last thing you need is to be shut down mid-construction. Our St. Louis electricians are familiar with all the necessary permits and documentation that you’ll need before construction begins. It’s our job to keep the project running as smoothly as possible. Here’s a bit more of what you can expect when you work with our electric company:

  1. Initial Consultation: The journey begins with a conversation where we listen to your plans, ideas, and electrical needs. This is the perfect time to ask questions and explore possibilities for things like home automation or a charging station for an electric vehicle.
  2. Design & Planning: Following our initial talk, our electrical contractors will develop a detailed electrical plan. This blueprint outlines the placement of every light fixture, switch, and outlet and maps out the necessary circuitry. We consider factors like load calculations and adherence to the latest National Electrical Code to create a safe and robust system.
  3. Proposal & Agreement: With a solid plan in place, we provide you with a clear, itemized proposal. This document details the costs associated with labor and materials, so you have a complete understanding of the investment. We are always happy to walk you through the proposal and make any adjustments before moving forward.
  4. Installation & Rough-In: Once the plan is approved, our skilled electricians get to work. During new construction or major remodel, this involves the “rough-in” phase, where we run all the wiring through the studs before the drywall is installed. We work efficiently and cleanly, coordinating with other trades on the job site to keep the project on schedule.
  5. Finishing & Trim-Out: After the walls are up and painted, we return for the finishing touches. This is when we install all your devices, including your chosen light fixtures, ceiling fans, outlets, and switches. We pay close attention to detail to ensure everything is installed beautifully and functions perfectly.
  6. Final Inspection & Walkthrough: The last step is a comprehensive inspection of the entire electrical system to guarantee it meets all safety standards and electrical code requirements. We then conduct a final walkthrough with you to demonstrate the features of your new system and answer any remaining questions. Our goal is your complete satisfaction and confidence in the electricity that powers your home.
