Panel upgrades, EV chargers, generators and repairs for your home. Build-outs, lighting retrofits and backup power for your business. Insured, permitted and done once.
Work performed to
Residential and commercial electrical work demand different scheduling, different code sections and different documentation. We are set up for both, and we do not pretend they are the same job.
From a dead outlet to a full service upgrade. We work on homes across St. Charles County — older properties that need correcting, and newer ones that need more capacity than the builder allowed for.
Build-outs against a fixed occupancy date, retrofits that cut the largest line on your electric bill, and backup power for the loads you cannot afford to lose. Scheduled around your hours.
APEX Electric works out of O'Fallon, which puts most of St. Charles County inside a twenty-minute drive. That is the whole reason we can offer same-day response on urgent calls and mean it — we are not routing a truck out from the far side of the metro.
We run residential and commercial work as two distinct disciplines, because they are. A home service call needs an arrival window we actually keep and an explanation you can follow. A commercial build-out needs a schedule tied to your occupancy date and the discipline to work overnight so you do not lose trading days. Doing both well means not pretending they are the same job.
What does carry across is the standard: permitted and inspected work, fixed prices agreed before the work starts, diagnosis before parts, and a site left clean. Simple commitments, held to consistently.
Electrical contracting has a reputation problem, and it is mostly earned. Here is the standard we hold ourselves to — judge us against it.
You get a price for the job before we start it. If we find something behind the wall that changes the scope, we stop and tell you what it means before we carry on — we do not discover it on the invoice.
Permits get pulled and we meet the inspector ourselves. Unpermitted work surfaces at resale and at insurance renewal, and it costs far more to prove after the fact than to do properly once.
A tripping breaker is a symptom. We find the cause with meters and thermal imaging rather than swapping components until the symptom goes away, because the second approach just removes the warning.
Commercial work happens after hours by default so you do not lose a trading day. Residential work gets an arrival window we actually keep, and a call if anything changes.
You get told what was wrong, what we did and what we would keep an eye on — without the trade jargon and without being talked into work the house does not need.
Lockout/tagout, arc-flash PPE and proper testing on every job, including the small ones. The corners that get cut on a quick call are the ones that hurt people.
Most complaints about electricians come down to not knowing what happens next or what it will cost. This is the whole sequence.
Tell us what is happening and where. For most residential work a short conversation and a couple of photos are enough for us to know what we are walking into.
We look at the actual conditions — the panel, the service size, the run — and where it matters we perform a load calculation rather than estimating from the outside.
One price for the defined scope, with the options laid out where there is more than one legitimate way to solve it. No pressure to decide on the spot.
The permit gets pulled and we book a window that works around your household or your trading hours, including evenings and weekends.
Drop cloths down, circuits labeled, debris taken with us. You get told what changed and shown anything that is worth understanding about your system.
We meet the inspector, close out the permit and hand over the documentation. Nothing gets covered up until it has passed.
Some electrical faults are an inconvenience. These four are not. If you see any of them, turn the circuit off at the panel if you can do so safely, and call us — we keep after-hours availability specifically for this.
Overheating insulation. Shut the circuit off at the panel and call — this is the condition that precedes a fire.
A visible arc means a loose or failing connection carrying load. It will not settle down on its own.
Devices should be at room temperature. Heat you can feel through a cover plate means a bad connection behind it.
A flooded basement with a live panel, or a leak above a fixture. Do not touch it — kill the power remotely if you safely can.
We are based in O'Fallon, so most of the county is inside a twenty-minute drive. That is what makes same-day response on urgent calls realistic rather than aspirational.
What people ask before they pick up the phone.
We are based in O'Fallon and cover St. Charles County — O'Fallon, St. Charles, St. Peters, Wentzville, Lake Saint Louis, Cottleville and Dardenne Prairie — plus Chesterfield and the neighbouring parts of St. Louis County.
Yes, and we treat them as different disciplines. Residential work is scheduled around your household with a fixed quote up front. Commercial work is scheduled around your trading hours, usually after hours, and delivered against your occupancy or opening date.
Yes. We come out, look at the actual conditions and give you a fixed written price for the defined scope. No charge, and no obligation to proceed.
Yes — we carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Certificates of insurance are available on request for commercial clients and property managers.
Yes, for genuine electrical emergencies: burning smells, sparking or arcing, a dead service, or water in contact with electrical equipment. Call the main number and you will reach someone.
Fixed price for the defined scope, agreed before we start. If we find something behind the wall that changes the scope, we stop and tell you what it means before continuing — you never find out on the invoice.
Tell us what is going on. We will tell you what it needs, what it costs, and when we can be there — no obligation and no sales pitch.
Send the details and we will come back to you with next steps — usually the same business day.
The fastest way to get an estimate is a phone call. Tell us what is going on and we will tell you what it needs, what it costs and when we can be there.
