"Our A/C failed during the heat wave; the associated circuit breaker switches kept tripping. Our A/C service company identified overheating problems with multiple circuit breaker switches (temps were 150º plus) in our breaker box as the cause. His recommendation was to call an electrician immediately or risk a fire, so we didâ ¦ Mr. Electric. We called in a work request to Mr. Electric, Lafayette. LA at 3:53PM thinkingâ ¦ well, itâ s a Sunday; they wonâ t be able to come here until Monday. Wrong. Mr. Kevin Faulk was at our house within 45Min and determined that the entire breaker panel needed replacement â and was willing to do it that dayâ ¦ on a Sunday. It turns out that he couldnâ t, because he needed a part. He could have just left and waited until he had the parts he needed to return, but he didnâ t. He turned off all unnecessary circuits and temporarily replaced the A/C breaker, so we wouldnâ t die from the heat. Before departing, he made sure the new temporary circuit breaker was not overheating. The next day he was here bright and early and did the entire replacement. It took about 5 hours of work and required coordination with, and inspection by the electric company that provides our power. Weâ ve used Mr. Electric several times before for various projects, and were happy with them, but this time was a big deal. Considering they put in that much work and used top of the line equipment (Square D by Schneider Electric), the final bill was very reasonable in our opinion. I highly recommend using Mr. Electric for all your electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Your Lafayette home is a strong candidate for electrical upgrades if it was built before 1980, has an outdated panel, or you notice flickering lights or frequent breaker trips. Homes with knob-and-tube wiring or limited outlets, common in older LA properties, should be evaluated. If you’re planning renovations or adding appliances, consider an electrical system assessment to ensure safety and code compliance.

Helpful?

Homes in Lafayette with pier-and-beam foundations, low crawl spaces, or cypress framing often present unique challenges for electrical projects. Flood-prone areas and slab foundations may require extra planning for wiring routes. If your home has multiple stories, converted attics, or an open floor plan, consult a local professional to identify obstacles and ensure your electrical upgrades are completed safely and efficiently.

Helpful?

When comparing quotes for electrical projects in Lafayette, be wary of vague estimates, missing permit details, or unusually low bids. A lack of written contracts, poor communication, or refusal to provide local references are warning signs. Make sure the professional is familiar with LA’s weather challenges and has proper insurance. Choosing someone with experience in Lafayette’s climate helps ensure your electrical upgrades are done right.

Helpful?

In Lafayette, homeowners should check outdoor outlets and GFCIs before rainy seasons, inspect surge protectors and generator connections ahead of hurricane season, and review panel loads during summer. After major storms, look for moisture or damage around electrical components. Scheduling a professional inspection each winter helps catch issues early, especially in LA’s humid climate where corrosion and moisture are common concerns.

Helpful?

Completing electrical projects in Lafayette can significantly boost your home’s value and resale appeal. Modernizing electrical panels, adding smart home features, or upgrading wiring to handle LA’s frequent storms and humidity reassures buyers about safety and reliability. Homes with recent electrical upgrades in Lafayette often stand out, especially in neighborhoods with older housing stock, making them more attractive to potential buyers.
