Look For Same Day Service
Look For Same Day Service
Many homes built during Hazelwood’s post-war development were wired with 100-amp service panels sized for the electrical loads of that era. As households have added appliances, finished spaces, and EV chargers over the decades, those panels have become a limiting factor and in some cases a safety concern.
Academy Air provides electrical repair and installation for Hazelwood homeowners, dispatched from the service center at 4848 Park 370 Blvd. Technicians are licensed and available for same-day service on most calls.
Electrical repair covers the full range of residential wiring problems: breakers that trip repeatedly, outlets that have stopped working, switches that control the wrong fixtures, and wiring issues identified during home inspections. Academy Air diagnoses the root cause before recommending repairs rather than addressing symptoms in isolation.
For homes with older wiring, including aluminum branch circuit wiring found in some homes from the 1960s and 1970s, Academy Air evaluates the condition of the system and identifies points of concern. These conditions require specific treatment at connection points and should not be left unaddressed.
Panel upgrades are among the most common electrical projects in Hazelwood. Circuit breaker installation and panel replacement increase service capacity, allow for dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances, and bring protection features like AFCI and GFCI up to current code. Tripped breakers that won’t hold, circuits that can’t support added load, or a panel that lacks space for new circuits are all reasons to evaluate an upgrade.
Academy Air handles switches and outlets service, including GFCI installation in kitchens and bathrooms where code requires it and lighting installation for interior and exterior upgrades. Ceiling fan installation is frequently requested in Hazelwood homes as an energy-efficient supplement to central cooling during shoulder-season months.
Academy Air installs Level 2 electric vehicle chargers for homeowners adding an EV to their household. A dedicated 240-volt circuit with a hardwired or plug-in EVSE provides a full charge overnight compared to the trickle charge a standard 120-volt outlet delivers. Hazelwood’s established residential neighborhoods and proximity to major employers along the Highway 370 corridor have driven demand for home charging infrastructure.
Whole-home surge protection protects appliances, electronics, and HVAC equipment from voltage spikes caused by lightning strikes and utility switching events. The St. Louis metro experiences a high frequency of severe thunderstorms from late spring through early fall. A whole-home suppressor installed at the panel is a single-point solution that covers every circuit in the house.
For homeowners who have experienced extended outages from severe weather, Academy Air provides standby generator installation. Hazelwood’s location near weather corridors that track through the Missouri River valley makes backup power a practical investment for households with medical equipment, sump pumps, or an interest in maintaining service through ice storms and summer derechos. Standby generators connect to the home’s natural gas supply and start automatically when utility power is interrupted.
Older homes in Hazelwood frequently have first-generation smoke detectors that lack carbon monoxide detection and are not interconnected. Academy Air installs combination smoke and CO detectors that meet current Missouri code requirements and provide whole-home coverage. Carbon monoxide detection is particularly important in homes with gas appliances, as it is in most of Hazelwood’s housing stock.
