Does Your Florissant Home Need Rewiring?
The majority of Florissant homes were built between 1950 and 1975. Florissant has one of the highest concentrations of post-war homes in North St. Louis County โ many with original Federal Pacific panels and aluminum branch wiring. Key signs your Florissant 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 Florissant
Homes built in Florissant 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 Florissant 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.
