Garage Electrical Wiring
Rough-in photographs save walls later. New construction wiring is judged by the inspection, so it gets planned to pass the first time.
Garage Electrical Wiring in O’Fallon and across St. Charles, St. Louis, Lincoln and Warren counties.
Owner-operated by Clint Ehman. Seventeen years in the trade, four of them running his own shop.
5.0 from 94 Google reviews · BBB A+ since 2022
What this work actually involves
Circuits are planned against the finished room, including the loads nobody mentions until later, like a freezer or a treadmill.
The order is always the same: reproduce it, measure it, say what the number means, fix the thing the number points at. Nothing gets bundled on the way past.
Permits and inspections happen where the municipality requires them, and the panel is left labeled. One person does all of it.
When people call about this
- A bathroom with one outlet
- A basement about to be finished
- A kitchen layout that moved
- An addition with no panel capacity
Why people choose Clint for it
There is no dispatcher taking a description for someone else to act on, and no commission riding on what the visit totals. The person who measures it is the person who fixes it.
Seventeen years in the trade and four running Infinity Electric out of O’Fallon, with 5.0 from 94 Google reviews and BBB accreditation since 2022.
Where this is done
O’Fallon and the surrounding St. Charles County suburbs, out through St. Louis County and St. Louis City, and into Lincoln and Warren counties. Roughly a fifty mile radius.

Rough-in is the one window
Electrical rough-in happens between demolition and drywall, and that window does not reopen. Everything placed wrong, or not placed at all, costs a finished wall later.
So the circuit plan gets drawn against how the room will actually be used rather than what the drawing labels it, and the rough-in is photographed before anything closes up.
Rough-in records save walls
Photographs of the rough-in, taken before insulation, are worth more than anyone expects. Two years later they show exactly where a cable runs behind finished drywall.
Labeling at both ends does the same job for the next electrician.
What a garage circuit has to handle
Garages carry cold, damp, dust and the largest tools in the house. Receptacles there need GFCI protection, and anything feeding a compressor or a saw wants its own circuit rather than sharing with the door opener.
Boxes and devices get the right listing for the location, and the run is planned so the car and the storage do not sit on it.
Who actually does the work
Clint Ehman does the diagnosis and the repair himself. There is no salesman writing a scope for a technician to execute, and nobody paid on what the visit totals.

Permits, inspections and why they vary here
Requirements genuinely differ across this metro. O’Fallon, St. Charles, St. Peters, the St. Louis County municipalities and St. Louis City each run their own process, and what one treats as a minor repair another permits and inspects.
Work that needs a permit gets one, and work that needs an inspection is left ready for it with the panel labeled and the junctions accessible. That matters most before a closing, when an inspector’s written item becomes someone’s negotiating position.
“Infinity came out for same day service after an electric line had been cut in my yard. He was able to locate and correct it very quickly, eliminating any risk of injury or additional power outage.”

How the visit goes
- The call
The plans, the rooms, and what will actually be in them when it is finished.
- The measurement
Load calculation before framing, panel capacity, and a circuit plan drawn against the finished use rather than the label on the drawing.
- The finding
Whether the existing service covers the project, and what the rough-in needs to include so nothing is opened up twice.
- The work
Rough-in labeled and photographed before insulation, inspection timed around the other trades, devices and fixtures at finish, final inspection attended.
What the job includes

- Load calculation before framing, so capacity is known early
- Rough-in labeled and photographed before insulation
- Coordination with the other trades on inspection timing
- Device and fixture install at finish
- Final inspection attended

Garage Electrical Wiring across the metro
The same job is not the same job in every part of this metro. Same trade across five jurisdictions out of O’Fallon, with a different inspection process in each.
Lincoln County
Lincoln County is rural service: longer drops, well pumps and septic loads that city panels never carry, and outages that make backup power a practical purchase rather than a luxury.
Warren County
Newer builds beside older farm properties, with outbuildings and well pumps that town panels never see.
St. Charles County
St. Charles County is mostly 1990s and 2000s subdivisions. The wiring is modern and the services were sized before anyone owned an electric car or finished a basement, so capacity is the usual constraint rather than condition.
See which towns fall inside the radius on the service areas page.
Questions worth asking first.
Will my panel carry a finished basement?
That is the question to answer first. A finished basement adds lighting, outlets and often a bathroom or a freezer, and the load calculation shows whether the existing service covers it.
Do you coordinate with my other trades?
Yes. Rough-in has to land between demolition and drywall, and inspections get timed so the drywall and tile crews are not waiting.
How many circuits does a kitchen need?
More than most older kitchens have: counter receptacles, dishwasher, disposal, microwave, refrigerator and range each have requirements. The plan is drawn against the appliances actually being installed.
Where do you work?
Out of O’Fallon across St. Charles County, St. Louis County, St. Louis City, and Lincoln and Warren counties, roughly a fifty mile radius.
Do you pull permits?
Where the municipality requires one, yes, and the work is left ready for inspection with the panel labeled and junctions accessible. Requirements genuinely differ across this metro, which is why it is established per address rather than assumed.
