"Getting a whole house generator is a huge investment so I shopped around and got 4 quotes because of the wide range of cost estimates. Other people said the cost "would be around" an amount, and Brandon gave me a detailed exact price. Had people tell me different things about where I could put the generator. Brandon came out and explained everything and said I could put the generator where I wanted it. His crews (electrical, gas) were professional, appeared to know exactly what they were doing, worked efficiently, and left the job site very clean. Brandon provided everything I wanted--he has a long track record of installing generators, has been in business for many years, offered a 10 yr warranty, offers an annual check-up plan, and made sure I was happy with everything."

"On time, professional and knowledgable. Could have sold me a top of the line battery but explained to me why a middle of the line for $100 less would be just as good. Keegan will be doing all my generator maintenance from now on. I highly recommend Keegan and Power Cross."

"Ed Riley is extremely knowledgeable about what causes lighting and how to protect from it. He explained to me which and how structures develop static electricity that lead to lighting discharges in a way that the physics made sense to me. They were also reasonably priced and kept their word. Definitely recommend them."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

For electrical work in Covington, keep a non-contact voltage tester, insulated screwdrivers, and a moisture meter to monitor humidity’s impact on wiring. Stock weatherproof electrical boxes, GFCI outlets, and surge protectors to guard against storms. Have silicone sealant and corrosion-resistant wire nuts for outdoor projects. Backup lighting and spare batteries are helpful during outages, and a dehumidifier can protect sensitive electrical components in damp areas.

Helpful?

In Covington, you can safely replace light switches, outlets, or test GFCI outlets if you turn off power at the breaker and use insulated tools. Always work in dry conditions to avoid moisture risks. For issues with outdoor wiring, generator hookups, or older aluminum wiring, stop and call a local professional. Never attempt repairs during storms or if you notice burning smells or flickering lights.

Helpful?

In Covington, main panels, outdoor outlets, and attic or crawl space wiring often need attention due to frequent storms and high humidity. Kitchens and bathrooms may require regular GFCI outlet checks, while older homes might need upgrades to ceiling fan wiring or smoke detector circuits. Flood-prone basements benefit from sump pump wiring inspections, and outdoor kitchens or irrigation systems should have weather-resistant upgrades.

Helpful?

In Covington, you’ll find several types of electrical contractors: residential specialists for home wiring and remodels, commercial experts for business properties, and contractors focused on generators, smart home upgrades, solar systems, or pool and spa wiring. Emergency electricians are crucial after storms. Choose a contractor familiar with Covington’s climate challenges and always verify they meet LA’s licensing and insurance requirements for your safety.

Helpful?

Before starting electrical projects in Covington, review your home’s electrical panel and make sure it can handle added load, especially during hurricane season. Secure necessary permits for upgrades or new installations. Prepare a detailed project plan, and schedule inspections early to account for local humidity and weather delays. Always call 811 before any digging, and coordinate with your utility provider for service changes or generator installations.
