Services
One licensed electrician for the house, the shop, and the call that cannot wait. Louisiana statewide electrical license 64632.
From a single ceiling fan to a full rewire, residential work is scheduled around the house you already live in. That includes outlets and switches, lights that flicker, pool and outdoor circuits, smoke detectors, and wiring brought up to code. Older houses may also need grounded outlets, GFCI protection in kitchens and baths, AFCI protection, or replacement of aluminum and knob-and-tube wiring.
Commercial jobs cover service upgrades, conduit, lighting, and the day-to-day electrical problems that shut a workspace down. That includes shops, offices, and small industrial spaces, plus maintenance when a circuit is already in use. Work is planned so the business can stay open when the job allows it.
A tired panel, a hot breaker, or a meter can that needs replacing is a safety job, not a cosmetic one. The work includes repairs, residential breaker boxes, 200-amp upgrades, commercial service panels, and meter can replacement. Call if breakers trip and will not reset, the panel buzzes or smells hot, or the box is old enough that the breakers are no longer trustworthy. Federal Pacific, Zinsco, and Challenger panels are in that last group.
Indoor work includes recessed lights, pendants, chandeliers, under-cabinet lighting, track lighting, and ceiling fans with lights. Outdoor work includes porch and patio lights, landscape and pathway lighting, floodlights, motion lights, and pool and deck lighting. Commercial jobs include fluorescent-to-LED retrofits, parking-lot and security lighting, and ballast replacement when a fluorescent fixture is flickering. Site lighting covers temporary and permanent lights for a job site, including LED, solar, and generator-powered setups. Smart lighting is installed when the circuit can carry it.
Generator work covers new home installations, repairs, maintenance, disconnects, and transfer switch installation so backup power can take over cleanly when the utility drops. A typical install takes one to two days once the size is settled. Service is recommended at least once a year, or after about 100 hours of run time. Unusual noise, a hard start, or power that drops in and out are reasons to call before the next storm.
A Level 2 charger needs a dedicated circuit and a panel that can carry it. Installation covers home and commercial chargers, the circuit, the permits, and a straight answer if the panel has to be upgraded first.
Troubleshooting starts with the symptom you can see: a dead circuit, a burning smell, a breaker that will not stay on, a switch that does nothing, or an outlet that sparked. The repair may be the breaker, a loose connection, a GFCI that tripped, exposed wiring, or an open junction box. Emergency calls are answered 24 hours, and same-day calls are taken when the schedule is open.
New construction and remodel wiring runs from rough-in through the inspection that happens before the walls close. Rough-in includes outlets, switches, lighting, the panel, and dedicated circuits for the appliances. A pre-close inspection checks wire size, box placement, and grounding while the work can still be reached. In Covington that inspection is required before drywall on new construction and larger remodels. The work is meant to pass the first time.
Surge protection is installed at the panel so a storm or a utility spike is less likely to take out the equipment inside the building.
An inspection is a written look at whether the system is safe and likely to pass. Useful before a purchase or sale, after a remodel, or when a home inspector has already flagged the panel. The visit covers the panel, outlets and wiring, grounding, GFCI and AFCI protection, and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. A house usually takes one to two hours. A residential inspection is usually $150 to $500, depending on the size of the property. Commercial inspections take longer and cost more. If it fails, you get a written list of what has to be fixed before a re-inspection.
