Homeowners in Troy call about the same things that come up in any town where the housing stock spans several decades: a breaker that trips when the dryer runs, outlets that stopped working in a bathroom or kitchen, a panel that was never sized for the load the house is actually drawing. Property managers and landlords call about the same concerns, plus the added pressure of a tenant waiting on a repair. Whatever the situation, we scope the job on the call and give you a clear picture of what the work involves before anyone arrives.
We serve Troy and the surrounding Lincoln County area with the full range of residential and commercial electrical work. From a single outlet replacement to a complete service upgrade, the process is the same: you call, we ask the right questions, and you get a rate and a scope before anything is scheduled.
Call (636) 695-9789 to get started.
A home wired for the appliances of a previous era is a different animal from one built to handle modern demands. Electric vehicle chargers, tankless water heaters, induction ranges, and finished basements all draw more than the original service was designed to carry. When a customer in Troy wants to add something significant, the first question is whether the panel has room for it. That means a load calculation, not a guess.
We check what the existing service is rated for, what is already running on it, and where the headroom sits. If the panel can carry the addition, we run the circuit. If it cannot, we explain what an upgrade would involve and what it would cost before the work is scheduled. A plain answer on repair versus upgrade is part of every panel call, and that answer comes before any work begins.
An older 100-amp panel was adequate when most homes ran a handful of circuits. It is not adequate when you add central air, a second refrigerator, a home office, and an EV charger. A service upgrade to 200 amps gives the home the capacity to run what it actually needs to run. That work covers the panel itself, the service entrance, and the grounding and bonding that the upgrade requires. Subpanel installation is an option where a detached garage, a workshop, or a finished basement needs its own circuit distribution rather than long runs back to the main panel.
An EV charger or a hot tub often means checking the panel first. The circuit is only part of the job. The panel has to support it.
Properties in and around Troy that rely on a well pump need a dedicated circuit sized for the motor. A pump that shares a circuit or runs on undersized wire draws more than the breaker can hold cleanly, and the result shows up as nuisance trips or, over time, as heat damage at the connection. We run the circuit from the panel, size the breaker correctly for the motor load, and confirm the grounding at the pump itself.
Smart switch and dimmer installation sounds straightforward until the box behind the old switch turns out to have no neutral wire. Older wiring in a home of this age often skipped the neutral in switch legs, and a smart switch that needs one will not work without a fix at the box. We assess the wiring before recommending a switch type, and we handle the ceiling fan installation the same way: box support, switch leg, and the wiring to make both the fan and the light kit work independently.
Outdoor wiring requires weatherproof boxes, exterior-rated conduit or direct-burial cable, and GFCI protection at every outdoor outlet. Security lighting and motion sensor installs are part of the same visit as the circuit work. Landscape lighting runs on a low-voltage system, but the transformer and the circuit feeding it still need to be wired correctly and protected at the panel. We handle the full run from the panel to the fixture location.
We know schedules shift, so we keep booking flexible, and that applies to rental properties and commercial spaces as much as it does to a homeowner who works from home. When a landlord calls about a repair in an occupied unit, we work out the access arrangement on the call. The tenant does not have to be home for every job, but for work that involves the panel or a circuit that feeds occupied rooms, we coordinate.
For businesses in Troy that cannot shut down a section of the space, we talk through what the work requires and whether it can be phased. Some circuit work can be done in stages. Some panel work has to happen all at once. We explain which is which before anything is booked.
Emergency calls are answered.
If the situation is a dead panel, a fault that is creating a safety concern, or a breaker that will not hold under any load, call (636) 695-9789 and describe what is happening.
We take short-notice work when the schedule allows and we are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM.
When a landlord or property manager calls, the paperwork side of the job matters as much as the repair itself. We confirm the scope on the call, and the work is documented so there is a record of what was done and why. That matters for a rental unit inspection, for a code correction notice, or for a property that is being prepared for a new tenant.
Access arrangements are part of the booking conversation. If the tenant needs to be notified, that is the landlord's responsibility, but we work around the access window that is given to us. For multi-unit properties in Lincoln County, we handle electrical repairs and circuit additions across the building, not just in a single unit. The invoice goes to whoever books the work, and we confirm that on the call.
Electrical safety inspections and code correction work are part of what we do for rental properties. If a property has received a violation notice or failed an inspection, we assess what needs to change and handle the repair. GFCI and AFCI protection, grounding and bonding, aluminum wiring remediation, and arc-fault breaker upgrades are all work that comes up in older rental stock, and all of it is work we handle. Have a look at the page covering our electrical services for the work broken down.
The rate is discussed on the call before anything is scheduled. What we are quoting is based on what you describe: the symptom, the location, the type of property, and what you already know about the panel and the wiring. A straightforward outlet replacement and a panel upgrade are both priced on the call, and both are explained before we book the visit.
What can move a quote is what the job turns out to require once we are on site. If reaching the fault means opening up a wall section, or if the existing circuit cannot carry what the new load needs, those are things we explain before the work continues. The scope and the cost are confirmed before anything changes.
It helps to know where the problem is showing up and how long it has been happening. If breakers are involved, note whether any are tripped and whether the panel feels warm or makes noise. If you are adding something new, know what it is and where it needs to go. The more detail you give us on the call, the more accurate the quote.
Pricing is clear and explained up front. The rate is confirmed before we schedule, and what the visit covers is part of that conversation.
Call (636) 695-9789 and ask what it covers.

Coverage across Lincoln County means the same scope and the same process regardless of which community you are calling from. The call reaches someone who can scope the job, give you a rate, and get the work scheduled.
We discuss the schedule on the call. If a business needs work done outside peak hours or on a specific day to minimize disruption, we look at what the schedule allows and work out a plan before anything is booked.
Yes. We serve Troy and the surrounding Lincoln County communities, including Moscow Mills, Cave, Fountain N' Lakes, Hawk Point, and Flint Hill. Call with your address and we will confirm your location is within our service range before anything is scheduled.
Yes. High-draw equipment like welders and large compressors pulls more current than a shared circuit can reliably carry, and running them on a shared circuit causes tripping and can damage the equipment. We size and install a dedicated circuit matched to the load.
Older properties often have layers of wiring from different eras, and the condition of each layer varies. We assess what is there, identify what is safe to leave in place and what needs to be updated, and explain the findings before any work is proposed.
When a permit is required, we handle the coordination with the relevant authority before the work begins. Permit requirements vary depending on the scope and location of the work, and we confirm what applies when we scope the job on the call.
Older homes in this area commonly have panels that were sized for a smaller load than the house now draws, aluminum branch wiring that needs remediation at the connections, and circuits that were added over the years without a full look at what the panel could carry. GFCI and AFCI protection is often missing in locations where code now requires it. A diagnostic visit covers what is there and explains what needs to change.
Pets should be kept away from the work area during the visit. Open panels, exposed wiring, and tools on the floor are hazards for animals. Let us know about pets when you call and we will advise on what makes sense for the specific job.
Whether the job is a tripped breaker in an older home, a panel that needs more capacity, or a circuit that was never run correctly, the call is where it starts. Safe wiring. Solid workmanship. Straight answers. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM, and we cover Troy, Moscow Mills, Hawk Point, and the rest of Lincoln County.
