"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."

"Bernard quoted $520 for the job. He did it in about 3.5 hours total. Approximately. Unfortunately we had the wrong ceiling fan and that slowed things up a bit but wasn't his fault. Bernard is very conscientious in how he does things and I felt good about the quality and seriousness of his work. He ended up charging us $425 for the work. This is the first time I have ever had a contractor fairly charge me when the job came in early or under budget."

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

Electrical systems in New Orleans need routine attention due to humidity and frequent storms. Schedule monthly testing of GFCI outlets, quarterly inspections for moisture in panels, and annual checks of surge protectors. Backup generators should be run and inspected regularly. For older homes, have wiring and grounding systems evaluated to maintain electrical safety and prevent issues related to outdated or damaged components.

Helpful?

When hiring electrical pros in New Orleans, look for licensed professionals with proven experience in storm repairs and electrical safety for flood-prone areas. Prioritize those who understand the unique challenges of historic homes and can provide strong local references. Ensure they follow local permit requirements, offer clear project timelines, and never request full payment upfront. Familiarity with energy efficiency upgrades and backup power systems is also essential.

Helpful?

In New Orleans, unexpected costs often stem from permit requirements, additional inspections, or compliance with historic district guidelines. Flood zone regulations may require elevating electrical components, while discovering moisture or pest damage can lead to extra repairs. Weather-related delays, especially during hurricane season, may extend project timelines. Emergency service calls and specialized equipment for energy efficiency or storm protection can also increase overall expenses.

Helpful?

For New Orleans homes, use corrosion-resistant panels, marine-grade wiring, and weatherproof outlets to withstand high humidity and storms. Opt for moisture-resistant conduit and surge protectors designed for severe weather. In flood-prone neighborhoods, elevate electrical panels and use waterproof connectors. For historic homes, select concealed wiring options and fixtures that blend with original features while meeting current electrical safety standards.

Helpful?

Completing electrical upgrades in New Orleans offers immediate improvements in safety, reliability, and storm resilience. Over time, you’ll benefit from increased property value, lower risk of electrical hazards, and enhanced energy efficiency. Modern systems are easier to maintain, support smart home features, and help reduce insurance premiums. Investing in quality electrical work ensures your home is better protected against severe weather and future-ready.
