An Electrician for Blue Springs' 1970s and 80s Homes

Panel replacements and service upgrades for Blue Springs homes, nearly half of which went up in the 1970s and 80s. If your panel came with the house, it is 35 years old or more, and a Federal Pacific or a 100 amp service that age is worth a look. Master electrician licensed since 1997; most jobs go on the calendar the same week.

Brad did an excellent job installing my fixture over my stairs. He was punctual and cleaned up any trash left from the installation.

Aluminum wiring and a new code book

By the Census Bureau's count, about 6,600 Blue Springs homes went up in the 1970s and 4,700 in the 1980s. The earliest of them overlap the years when single-strand aluminum branch wiring was used: the Consumer Product Safety Commission dates it to homes wired from about 1965 to 1973. And since June 1, 2026, Blue Springs permits electrical work to the 2023 National Electrical Code, which asks for GFCI protection in more places than Kansas City's 2017 edition.

Blue Springs FAQ

Common Questions from Blue Springs Homeowners

What do Blue Springs homes usually need?

Mostly panel and service work on houses from the 1970s and 80s: a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel replaced, a 100 or 150 amp service taken to 200, or room made for a car charger or a hot tub. In homes from the late 60s and early 70s we also check for single-strand aluminum branch wiring, which needs connectors rated for it rather than a straight swap of the outlet.

Do you pull permits in Blue Springs?

Yes. We pull Blue Springs electrical permits ourselves and meet the city's inspector. They are issued by Codes Administration at 903 W. Main Street. Our master electrician has been licensed since 1997.

Which electrical code does Blue Springs inspect to?

The 2023 National Electrical Code, adopted with the 2024 International Codes. It applies to permits applied for on or after June 1, 2026; work permitted before then is inspected under the code in effect when its permit was issued. Kansas City is still on the 2017 edition, so a panel replaced in Blue Springs can need more GFCI protection than the same job in Kansas City. We price it to the code the permit falls under.

Who do you coordinate with for power in Blue Springs?

Evergy. We schedule the meter pull and reconnect for a panel or service upgrade with Evergy, and tell you the outage window before the day. If you are adding a car charger, Evergy's rebate can apply: up to $500 on a Time of Use plan, through March 31, 2027.
