When a property manager gets a call about an outlet that stopped working, or a contractor finishing a home addition needs a final circuit run before the inspection, the next call is to us. We handle the full range of residential and commercial electrical work in Addis and the surrounding communities of West Baton Rouge Parish. From a single dead outlet to a panel upgrade that brings a home's service in line with what it actually draws, the process starts the same way: describe the job, get a price, schedule the visit.
Addis is a town where the housing stock runs the gamut. Older homes on circuits that were never updated sit alongside newer builds and rental properties that need work between tenants. Whatever the situation, we handle it with clear communication from the first call to the final test.
The jobs we take in Addis cover the everyday and the more involved. Here is what each of them actually looks like.
This region sees frequent lightning, and a single nearby strike can send a voltage spike through the service entrance that damages appliances and wiring throughout the house. A whole-home surge protector installed at the panel is a different level of protection from a power strip at the wall. It intercepts the spike before it reaches any circuit in the home. We connect the device at the service entrance and confirm the grounding and bonding are correct before we leave.
Recessed lighting and LED fixture installation come up regularly in kitchens, living rooms, and bathrooms where the existing light is either inadequate or the fixture itself has reached the end of its life. The job involves confirming the circuit can carry the new fixtures, opening the ceiling where needed, and making sure each fixture is properly supported and connected. We also handle under-cabinet lighting and exterior fixture replacements.
Older homes in this area sometimes carry wiring that was installed under standards no longer in use. Knob-and-tube runs, aluminum branch-circuit wiring, and wiring that was modified by previous owners without documentation all show up during inspections and home sales. A whole-home rewire replaces the branch circuits throughout the house. A partial rewire addresses the sections that need it most. We assess the scope and explain the findings before recommending which approach fits the situation.
A safety inspection is the right starting point when a home has not been looked at in years, when a buyer wants to know what they are taking on before closing, or when an insurance company has flagged the wiring. We cover the panel, the branch circuits, the outlets and switches, the grounding system, and GFCI and AFCI protection throughout the home. The inspection produces a clear account of what is working correctly and what needs attention, with a price on any repairs before anything is scheduled.
Beyond those four, the work we handle in Addis also includes panel replacements and service-entrance upgrades, subpanel installation for garages and additions, circuit installation for new appliances and equipment, arc-fault and ground-fault breaker upgrades, outlet and switch replacement, ceiling fan wiring, and pool and spa electrical. If you are not sure whether your job fits, call and describe what you are dealing with.
Electrical pricing depends on what the job actually involves, and that is not always clear until we have looked at it. A call about a dead outlet might turn out to be a tripped GFCI on a shared circuit, which is a short visit. The same symptom might point to a wiring fault that requires opening a wall to reach. The price reflects the actual scope, not a flat rate applied before we know what we are dealing with.
The things that move a quote are real. What the fault turns out to be once the diagnostic is complete. Whether the existing panel has the capacity to carry a new circuit or whether the service needs to be upgraded first. How far the circuit needs to run and what is in the way. Whether the work requires opening walls or ceilings and patching them afterward.
You get the scope and the rate confirmed before anything is scheduled. There is no decision made without your input. If the diagnostic turns up something beyond the original call, we explain it and give you a price before we proceed.

Property managers, landlords, and business owners in Addis have different demands from a homeowner calling about a tripping breaker. A retail space or office that needs electrical work cannot always shut down for a full day. A rental unit that has to be turned over quickly needs the fault diagnosed and repaired in a single visit, not scheduled across two.
We plan commercial work around what the property actually needs. That includes keeping part of a site live while the work is done on another section, scoping larger jobs in stages so the disruption is manageable, and confirming what access is needed before the visit so the day runs smoothly. For multi-unit properties, we coordinate with whoever is on site to make sure the right circuits are identified and the work does not affect tenants beyond the unit being serviced.
If you manage commercial or rental property in Addis or the surrounding area, the process is the same: call, describe the scope, get a price before anything is booked.
Electrical work like this comes up more than people expect when a property is asked to run something it was not wired for. A Level 2 EV charger on an older 100-amp panel. A hot tub on a circuit that was never sized for the load. A detached garage with no power at all. The question in every case is whether the existing service can carry what is being added, and that is something we work out before any wire is pulled.
A load calculation tells us what the panel is currently carrying and whether there is headroom for the new circuit. If there is, we run the dedicated circuit and complete the connection. If the panel is already at or near capacity, we address that first. A service upgrade or a subpanel in the right location is often the answer, and we explain both options and what each involves before you decide.
We treat your home the way we would want ours treated, which means the panel and the load are assessed honestly, not optimistically.
Good electrical work is not complicated, it is just done right, and the jobs that get postponed are usually the ones that seem too small to bother with. An outlet that has never worked since the previous owners lived there. A switch that sparks when you flip it. An exterior light that has been out for months because nobody has gotten around to scheduling it.
These are not complicated repairs, but they are worth making. A switch that sparks is showing a loose connection or a failing device, and loose connections generate heat. An outlet that has never worked may be on a circuit with a fault that is also affecting other things in the home. An exterior light that is out leaves the property darker than it should be, which matters for both security and usability.
None of these require a large job or a long visit. They require a call. We show up ready to work.
Calling an electrician does not have to mean a full day of disruption. For most repairs and installations, the visit is scoped tightly enough that it fits around a normal day. We confirm what access is needed when you call, so the visit does not get held up at the property.
For tenants and businesses that have to stay open, we work around the schedule. That means identifying which circuits will be affected, confirming which areas need to be cleared, and keeping the work contained to the section of the property that actually needs it. If a second visit is needed to complete the work, we schedule it before we leave and explain what is outstanding and why.
Appointments are confirmed when you call. The scope and the price are settled before anything is booked. If something changes on the day, we explain it before we proceed.
We cover Addis and the communities nearby throughout West Baton Rouge Parish. That includes Brusly, Port Allen, Plaquemine, Gardere, and Crescent. If you are in the area and need electrical work scoped, call and we will confirm coverage when you reach us.
The work is done to the standards the local code inspectors here enforce. Permits, where they apply, are part of the conversation when we scope the job, and we walk through what is required at your address before anything is scheduled. What a job like this usually involves is described on the electrical service list.
It can. On a larger job with materials being brought in or work running across multiple days, having reasonable access close to the property makes the work go more smoothly. If parking or access is constrained at your property, mention it when you call so we can plan around it.
The homes in this area vary widely in age and in the condition of their wiring, and that range is something we account for when we scope a job. Older homes may carry wiring that was installed under standards no longer in use, and we assess what we find honestly before recommending a repair or a rewire. If the inspection turns up something unexpected, we explain it and give you a price before proceeding.
The circuit requirements in kitchens and bathrooms are more involved than in other rooms because of the GFCI protection requirements and the number of dedicated circuits those spaces typically need. We account for that when we scope the rewire and confirm what each room requires before the work starts.
It can. Solar inverters and battery systems connect to the panel and affect how the service is loaded and how circuits are protected. We confirm what is installed and how it is connected before adding circuits or making panel changes, so the new work integrates correctly with the existing system.
Where cutting into walls or ceilings is involved, we take reasonable precautions to contain the dust and debris to the work area. The specifics depend on the property layout and the scope of the work. If containment is a particular concern, raise it on the call and we will discuss what is practical for the job.
We stop, document what was found, and explain it to you before proceeding. Unpermitted or non-code work found inside a wall or at the panel changes the scope of the job, and we give you a price for addressing it before any additional work is done.
Yes. Rough-in wiring is done before the walls are closed, and finish work, installing outlets, switches, fixtures, and cover plates, happens after the drywall is complete. We coordinate the two visits and confirm the sequence with you and any other trades involved.
Reach out and we will get it diagnosed. Describe what you are seeing, get a price before anything is scheduled, and have the work done without waiting on a callback or filling out a form.
Call (225) 592-3659. We are open every day from 8:00 AM to 8:30 PM.
