ELECTRICAL PANEL UPGRADES

At St. Louis Lit Electric, we specialize in electrical panel upgrades for both residential and commercial properties throughout St. Louis, Lake St. Louis, St. Charles, Chesterfield, O’Fallon, St. Peters, Florissant, Maryland Heights, Warrenton, and surrounding Missouri communities.

If your home or business was built more than 30 years ago, there’s a good chance your electrical service panel or circuit breaker box isn’t equipped to handle today’s energy demands. With modern appliances, high-powered devices, HVAC systems, and smart home technology, older fuse boxes and circuit panels can become overwhelmed — leading to blown fuses, frequent breaker trips, and serious safety hazards.

5 Signs You May Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade

If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s time to call a licensed electrician from St. Louis Lit Electric:

  1. Frequent tripped breakers or blown fuses

  2. Lights flickering or dimming when appliances are in use

  3. Burning smells, scorch marks, or buzzing near your panel

  4. An outdated panel using fuses instead of circuit breakers

  5. Home renovations or the addition of major appliances

Why Upgrade Your Electrical Panel?

Upgrading to a modern 200 AMP, 400 AMP, or even 800 AMP panel is not just about convenience — it’s about electrical safety, system efficiency, and future-proofing your property. Older panels were never designed to handle the load of a modern household or commercial facility. By upgrading your main service panel, you’ll ensure your system can safely distribute electricity through hot bus bars, single or double pole breakers, subpanels, and transfer switches.

Residential & Commercial Electrical Panel Services

Whether you’re a homeowner needing a 100AMP to 400AMP upgrade, or a business needing a 200AMP to 800AMP commercial panel installation, St. Louis Lit Electric has you covered.

We handle:

  • Circuit panel and fuse box replacements

  • Main power shutoff and switch installation

  • Electric meter and service entrance upgrades

  • Sub-panel additions for home expansions

  • Whole-home surge protection

  • Backup generator and transfer switch integration

Top Signs of Poor Electrical Wiring

Upgrading your panel also gives our electricians the chance to inspect and resolve unsafe wiring issues, such as:

  • Aluminum wiring corrosion

  • Loose connections or overheating

  • Outdated or cloth-insulated wiring

  • Undersized breakers and improper wire gauge
