Why South City Homes Need Panel Upgrades

South City homes were largely built between 1900 and 1950 — some of the oldest housing stock in the metro, when 100A service was standard and today's electrical loads — EV chargers, central AC, electric ranges, home offices — didn't exist. A 200A panel upgrade gives your South City home the capacity to handle modern demands safely. South City has the oldest homes in the St. Louis area, with knob-and-tube wiring, two-prong outlets, and 60A to 100A panels that are decades overdue for attention.
