Does Your Chesterfield Home Need Rewiring?
Homes in Chesterfield were largely built between 1980 and 2005. Chesterfield's large, higher-sq-ft homes are among the highest electricity consumers in the St. Louis metro. Key signs your Chesterfield home may need rewiring include: two-prong ungrounded outlets throughout, aluminum branch wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, frequent breaker trips, burning smells, or a home that hasn't been rewired in 40+ years.
Aluminum Wiring Remediation in Chesterfield
Homes built in Chesterfield between 1965 and 1982 may have aluminum branch wiring, which is a fire hazard at outlet and switch connections. The safest long-term fix is rewiring with copper. A shorter-term option is COPALUM crimping at all termination points โ we do both and will recommend the right approach for your home.

Knob-and-tube wiring โ found in many older Chesterfield homes โ lacks a ground wire, is incompatible with modern insulation, and is rejected by most insurance companies. We replace it completely with modern grounded copper wiring, to code, with all required St. Louis County permits.
