Electrical Emergency Services
Most of these calls end in one repair, not a project. Most residential calls are one circuit behaving badly, and the fix is smaller than people fear.

What this work actually involves
The symptom gets reproduced and measured before anything is replaced.
Nothing gets quoted off a description. The reading comes first, because a symptom has several possible causes at very different prices and only a measurement separates them.
Where a permit and an inspection are required they happen, and the site is left ready for them. One person carries the job from the first call to the final test.
When people call about this
- A problem that comes back
- Something that stopped working today
- A repair another electrician could not find
- An older home with new appliances
Why people choose Clint for it
A one-person shop cannot be in two places at once, so you get a real date instead of a window. What you also get is the same person every time.

Where this is done
Out of O’Fallon across five jurisdictions: St. Charles County, St. Louis County, St. Louis City, and Lincoln and Warren counties. About fifty miles in any direction.

Most calls end in one repair
The common outcome of a residential service call is a single connection, breaker or device. Not a project.
The reason people expect worse is that they have been quoted worse. Measuring first is what separates the two.
Triage on a same-day call
When the day is full, the order is set by hazard: heat and smell first, no power second, intermittent faults third, and inconvenience last.
You will be told honestly where you sit in that order rather than given a window nobody intends to keep.
What qualifies, and what happens on the call
Burning smell, heat at a panel or an outlet, visible arcing, water into electrical equipment, a loss of power to half the house: those move to the front of the day.
The first thing is making it safe, which is sometimes isolating a circuit rather than repairing it at ten at night. Then the repair, properly, with the reading that found 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.
Seventeen years in the trade, four of them running his own shop out of O’Fallon, licensed, bonded and insured with workers compensation coverage, 5.0 from 94 Google reviews, and A+ BBB accreditation held since 2022.
What makes this harder in older housing stock
Across this metro the recurring complications are predictable: no equipment ground, aluminum branch wiring from the mid-seventies, knob-and-tube buried in blown-in insulation, panels that have been added to several times, and splices in places the code has not allowed for decades.
Those turn a simple job into a decision about scope. The decision gets put to you with the reading behind it rather than made quietly and billed.
“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
What stopped working, or what has been odd for a while. Either is a reason to call.
- The measurement
Reproduce it, measure it. Load, voltage under load, and the condition of the terminations on the circuit that failed.
- The finding
Plain words and the number behind them, before any work is agreed.
- The work
The one repair that solves it, tested after, with a straight answer about anything else found along the way.

Electrical Emergency Services across the metro
Five jurisdictions, five different sets of conditions. Clint works out of O’Fallon across five jurisdictions, and the same service means different work in each.
Lincoln County
Well and septic loads mean a failure is no water rather than an inconvenience, so those circuits get treated accordingly.
Warren County
Two kinds of work share the same ZIP codes here: recent subdivisions with modern wiring and tight services, and farm properties carrying several eras at once.
St. Charles County
Out here the panels are not old, they are full. Houses built through the 1990s and 2000s got services sized for the loads of their decade, and the loads have since changed.
Thirty towns across five jurisdictions, all on the service areas page.
Questions worth asking first.
Do you charge to tell me what is wrong?
You get the reading and what it means before any work is agreed. Where the honest answer is a small repair, that is the answer, even when the larger job pays better.
Will one person do the whole job?
Yes. Clint does the diagnosis and the repair himself, so nothing is lost between a salesman and a technician.
How quickly can you come out?
Same-day where the day allows, and you will be told honestly if it does not. Heat, smell and a dead panel get priority over work that can wait.
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.
