Brentwood may be one of the smaller cities in St. Louis County, but it keeps our electricians busy. Since 2004, Exceptional Electric has served Brentwood and the surrounding inner-ring suburbs, and our base is close enough that getting a technician to your door rarely takes long. Our licensed master and journeyman electricians handle everything from a flickering fixture to a full service upgrade, and every job meets Missouri code the first time.
Much of Brentwood’s charm comes from its age. A good share of the homes here went up before World War II — brick bungalows and two-stories with real character and, often, electrical systems that were never designed for how we live now. When we open a panel in an older Brentwood home, we still find knob-and-tube wiring, fuse boxes, and 60-amp services trying to carry central air, a kitchen full of modern appliances, and a finished basement all at once. We bring those systems up to today’s standards without tearing your walls apart to do it.

Electrical Services We Provide in Brentwood
Whatever the electrical need, there’s a good chance we handle it. Our Brentwood customers call us most often for:
- Electrical Panel & Service Upgrades — If your Brentwood home still runs on a fuse box or a 60- to 100-amp service, upgrading to a modern 200-amp panel is often the single most valuable thing you can do for the house.
- Rewiring & Knob-and-Tube Replacement — Older Brentwood homes often still carry original wiring that insurers and buyers no longer accept. We replace it safely and methodically.
- EV Charger Installation — Level 2 home charging installed cleanly, with a capacity check first since many older Brentwood homes run smaller service.
- Breaker & Fuse Repair — If you’re still swapping fuses or a breaker keeps tripping, there’s usually a real cause underneath. We find it.
- Outlet & Circuit Installation — Grounded and GFCI outlets, dedicated circuits for a home office, and repairs for outlets that have quit.
- Whole-Home Surge Protection — Missouri storms are hard on electronics. A panel-mounted surge protector guards everything downstream.
- Home Generator Installation — Standby generators that keep the lights on when the grid goes down.
- Ceiling Fans & Lighting — Fixture swaps, recessed lighting, LED upgrades, and fans installed and balanced right.
- Electrical Safety Inspections — Buying or selling an older Brentwood home? We’ll inspect the system and give you a clear, honest report before you’re on the hook for it.
Brentwood’s Hanley Road and Eager Road corridors are some of the busiest commercial real estate in the county. We handle commercial electrical work and tenant finish-outs for the offices, restaurants, and retail spaces around the Promenade, the Boulevard, and Brentwood Square.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer emergency electrical service in Brentwood?
Yes. Electrical emergencies don’t keep business hours, and neither do we. Call (636) 296-7789 and we’ll get a technician dispatched to your Brentwood home as quickly as possible.
My Brentwood home still has knob-and-tube wiring. Should I replace it?
In most cases, yes. Knob-and-tube wiring is common in Brentwood’s older homes, but it has no ground, degrades over time, and often complicates home insurance and resale. We can assess what you have and lay out a replacement plan that fits your home and budget.
How much does it cost to upgrade an electrical panel in Brentwood?
Cost depends on your current service, the amperage you’re moving to, and whether the meter and service entrance need work. We give you a firm, itemized quote before any work begins, so you’ll know the full price up front.
Are your electricians licensed?
Every job is performed or supervised by licensed electricians who meet Missouri’s standards, including master and journeyman electricians for panel, service, and code work.
Do you install EV chargers in older homes?
Yes. We install Level 2 home chargers and always confirm your panel has the capacity to support one first, which matters in older Brentwood homes running smaller service.
Can you help with financing?
We do. Through our financing partner, you can spread the cost of larger projects over time. Ask us about it when you schedule.
