Wires Ace - Saint Louis's Certified Electrical Services

In historic St. Louis homes, GFCI outlets can fail due to age, moisture in older masonry walls, or being on the same circuit as appliances they weren't designed for. A Wires Ace inspection can pinpoint the cause—whether it's a faulty outlet, a wiring issue, or an overloaded circuit—and we'll recommend the proper repair or upgrade to ensure your bathroom or kitchen outlets are safe and functional.

Common signs in St. Louis homes include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, outlets that are warm to the touch or don't work, a burning smell from outlets or switches, and a lack of modern grounded (3-prong) outlets. These can indicate aging, overloaded, or potentially hazardous wiring. Our electrical inspection provides a detailed safety evaluation to address these risks specific to older construction.

An inspection is crucial before any renovation in our older neighborhoods. It assesses if your existing electrical panel and wiring can handle new additions like kitchens, bathrooms, or home offices. We'll check for outdated wiring like knob-and-tube or aluminum, ensure proper grounding, and identify any needed upgrades to support your renovation safely and to current St. Louis electrical codes.
