When storms roll off the Mississippi or summer AC units ramp up, the last thing you need is an outdated electrical panel tripping breakers. CountBricks brings industry-leading technology and on-site craftsmanship together, giving St. Louis homeowners a faster, safer path to a new breaker panel. Our AI-driven estimating engine gathers material prices, labor rates, and local code requirements in real time, so you get a firm number before the first wire is pulled.
• Modern appliances demand more amperage than panels installed even 15 years ago
• Insurance carriers often require 200-amp service for full coverage
• New panels reduce fire risk by eliminating aluminum branch circuits and double-tapped breakers
• Smart breakers allow future solar, EV charger, or battery storage integration
• A fresh panel adds resale value and passes St. Louis County electrical inspections faster
• Lights flicker when HVAC or microwave starts
• Breakers feel hot or smell burnt plastic
• You still see brand names like Zinsco or Federal Pacific
• Breakers trip randomly with normal usage
• You rely on multiple power strips because outlets are scarce
1. Voice Consult: Speak with a licensed electrician through our app. We capture circuit counts, service amperage, and photos without a site visit.
2. AI Estimate: CountBricks.com/services instantly builds a line-item quote—panel, breakers, feeder cable, permits, labor hours—using St. Louis pricing data updated every hour.
3. Permit & Schedule: We file with the City or County and select an install date that fits your calendar.
4. Safe Swap-Out: On install day, our crew disconnects power, mounts the new load center, transfers circuits, and labels every breaker clearly.
5. Final Inspection & Warranty: CountBricks meets the inspector on site, then issues a five-year workmanship warranty recorded in your online homeowner portal.
• Plan for 20% spare breaker capacity to avoid a second upgrade later
• Ask for whole-home surge protection while the panel is open—it saves labor costs
• Label critical circuits with glow-in-the-dark tags for storm outages
• Choose AFCI/GFCI dual-function breakers in bedrooms and kitchens to exceed code
• Photograph the finished panel and upload to your CountBricks digital binder for future remodels
Breaker panel installation costs vary nationwide, but these local variables impact your quote:
• Brick-veneer exteriors often require masonry drilling for meter conduit
• Many South City homes still use 60-amp fused services that need complete mast replacement
• Ameren shutdown scheduling can add one business day
• Historic districts may require concealed conduit routes to preserve façades
CountBricks stays ahead of 2023 National Electrical Code updates and local amendments. Arc-fault protection, service disconnect rules, and bonding requirements change frequently, but our AI database syncs nightly with municipal notices so your installation passes the first time.
• How long will my power be off? Typically four to six hours.
• Can CountBricks handle whole-home rewires too? Absolutely—see CountBricks.com/portfolio for recent projects.
• Do I need to be home? We recommend it for walkthrough and breaker labeling.
• What if I plan to add solar later? We size the panel and meter combo to accept a back-feed connection.
