"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."

"The work has not been completed yet due to weather conditions. But Mr. Laday responded in a reasonable time. He discussed the job on the phone and came to the scheduled appointment to personally review the work to be done. He gave a very fair estimate to do the work. He was very polite & knowledgeable. He is waiting for a few days of good weather to do the job. It has been raining everyday for over a week. Due to some underground wiring that must be completed we need 4 or 5 good days of drying out before he can start and complete the job in a 5 to 6 hour period. We are in a holding pattern on the job until a weather change. I believe he can do the job with no problem. I have total confidence in Mr Ladsy!"

"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."

"The evaluation to determine generator size was excellent. Very detailed by a very knowledgeable gentleman. Answered all my questions and further advised those things I should want to follow on installing my generator. Optimize were right on schedule the stated day of installation. Excellent young crew, very knowledgeable and worked together very well. They were able to install the generator and electrical, had to wait on trenching the gas line as to wet and muddy in my back yard. Follow the end of the week, once things dried up they trenched and laid the gas line and test rain the generator. Optimize applied for all permits, a complete turn-key job done excellent. I would highly recommend these guys for any of your generator needs!"

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

After finishing any home electrical upgrades in Opelousas, schedule a required inspection to ensure compliance and close out permits. Keep all documentation for insurance and future reference. Due to local humidity, test GFCI outlets monthly and consider annual checkups. Install surge protection for storm preparation, and notify your insurer of major changes. If you use medical equipment, register with the utility for emergency restoration.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in Opelousas, choose corrosion-resistant wiring and moisture-rated electrical boxes to handle the area’s humidity. Use UV-resistant materials for outdoor work, and select THWN-2 wire for wet locations. PVC conduit is recommended for underground runs. Whole-home surge protectors and generator transfer switches are smart upgrades for storm preparation. Always follow local electrical safety codes for grounding and GFCI installation in damp spaces.

Helpful?

In Opelousas, electrical safety should always come first. Address urgent issues like flickering lights, burning odors, or outlets that feel hot right away, as these can signal serious hazards—especially with frequent storms and high humidity. Upgrades like adding outlets or new fixtures can wait, but don’t delay too long, since moisture and local weather can accelerate electrical wear and increase risks.

Helpful?

For a smooth electrical project in Opelousas, start by confirming your contractor’s credentials and researching necessary permits. Coordinate with the utility if you’re upgrading service, and get HOA approval if required. Schedule work outside of peak storm months to avoid delays. Arrange inspections early, and always call 811 before digging to protect underground lines in Opelousas’ older neighborhoods and rural areas.

Helpful?

In Opelousas, enhance electrical safety by installing tamper-resistant outlets and GFCI protection, especially in rooms prone to moisture. Place outlets higher on walls where possible and use childproof covers. For pets, secure cords with protective covers and ensure outdoor connections are weatherproofed. Consider pest-resistant wiring and moisture barriers to address Opelousas’ climate and local wildlife, making your home safer for everyone.
