Washer/Dryer Circuit Installation
Water and electricity together bring extra rules, and inspectors know them. Hot tubs, pools and saunas carry their own rules, and the inspector will know them even if the installer did not.
Washer/Dryer Circuit Installation in O’Fallon and across St. Charles, St. Louis, Lincoln and Warren counties.
Owner-operated: the person who answers the phone is the person who measures it.

What this work actually involves
Disconnects and bonding are installed where water is involved, because that is what the code is protecting against.
First the reading, then the explanation, then the repair scoped to what was actually found. If that turns out smaller than the job you called about, that is what you are charged for.
Work needing a permit gets one and work needing an inspection is left ready for it. There is no handoff between whoever quotes and whoever fixes, because they are the same person.
When people call about this
- A pool pump on a shared circuit
- Mini-split installed with no circuit
- A new range or dryer that will not run
- A hot tub waiting on power
Why people choose Clint for it
The diagnosis and the repair are the same person’s work, which is why the explanation you get is first-hand rather than relayed.
Five point zero from 94 Google reviews, A+ with the BBB since December 2022, and seventeen years in the trade behind it.
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.

Water, bonding and disconnects
Hot tubs, pools and saunas carry extra requirements: a disconnect within sight but not too close, GFCI protection, and bonding of the metal parts around the water.
Bonding is the part most often missed. It ties the metal together so there is no voltage difference between the ladder and the water, which is the actual hazard.
Dedicated circuits and why appliances want them
A large appliance on a shared circuit is a nuisance trip waiting to happen, and worse, it makes diagnosis hard because the blame gets spread across whatever else is on the line.
One circuit, one appliance, sized to the plate and labeled at the panel with what it feeds. That is what makes a future fault a ten minute diagnosis rather than an afternoon.
Why dryer circuits get looked at
A dryer is a large dedicated load and its receptacle sees heat and vibration for decades. Burned or discoloured terminals at the outlet are common and are a connection problem, not an appliance problem.
The circuit gets checked against the appliance plate, the terminations are redone properly, and the receptacle gets replaced rather than reused if it shows heat.
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.”

Whether the circuit is right, needs upgrading, or is fine and the problem is a connection.
- The work
Circuit matched to the plate, disconnect and bonding where water is involved, terminations torqued to specification, tested under load.
What the job includes

Washer/Dryer Circuit Installation across the metro
Where the house is changes what the work involves. What an inspector looks at first differs by address here, which shapes the job as much as the house does.
Lincoln County
Well and septic loads mean a failure is no water rather than an inconvenience, so those circuits get treated accordingly.
Warren County
It is the far end of a roughly fifty mile radius, so visits get grouped rather than squeezed in. That affects the date, not the price.
St. Charles County
Condition is rarely the problem in St. Charles County. Capacity usually is, and the two have very different prices.
Every municipality covered is listed on the service areas page.
Questions worth asking first.
My new appliance will not run. Is it the appliance?
Often it is the circuit. The data plate states what the appliance expects, and comparing that to the existing circuit usually explains it in one visit.
Does a hot tub need its own disconnect?
Yes, with bonding, and placement is specified by code. It is one of the items inspectors check first on spa work.
Will my induction range fit the existing circuit?
Often not. Induction generally draws more than the coil range it replaces, and the appliance data plate settles it before delivery day.
