When something’s off with your home’s electrical system, you don’t want guesswork. You want answers. Whether it’s a flickering light, a dead outlet, or a breaker that keeps tripping, electrical problems are more than an annoyance—they’re a safety concern. And in older homes around New Orleans and Metairie, there’s often more going on behind the walls than meets the eye. That’s where professional electrical troubleshooting comes in. We don’t just patch the symptoms—we get to the root of the problem and fix it for good.

Troubleshooting isn’t about trial and error—it’s about experience, instinct, and knowing how a home’s electrical system is supposed to work. In neighborhoods like Gentilly, the Garden District, or Old Metairie, we run into everything from outdated knob-and-tube wiring to DIY add-ons that were never done right in the first place.
When you call us, you’re getting a licensed electrician who knows how to trace the source of the issue, test it properly, and offer a clear plan of action. We’ve seen it all: overloaded circuits, loose neutral wires, bad connections, corrosion in breaker panels, faulty light switches—the list goes on. If it’s electrical, we can figure it out.
You tell us what’s been happening, and we ask the right questions to get a clearer picture.
Checking your panel, testing circuits, verifying voltage, and isolating the fault.
So you’re not stuck with repeat calls or mystery issues that keep coming back.
Homes in New Orleans and Metairie aren’t like homes everywhere else. A two-story colonial off West Esplanade isn’t wired the same way as a Creole cottage near Treme. We’ve worked in raised homes, historic doubles, new builds, and everything in between—and we know how to navigate the quirks. That matters when troubleshooting electrical problems. Local knowledge helps us spot common patterns and avoid the pitfalls that less-experienced techs might miss. We know what kinds of upgrades your home might already have—and what shortcuts someone else may have taken years ago.
Electrical problems can get serious fast. A faulty outlet or overloaded circuit might seem like no big deal—until it sparks, arcs, or overheats. We treat every call with the level of caution and thoroughness it deserves. You can count on safe, code-compliant repairs that protect your home and your family.
If your issue turns out to be part of a larger problem—like panel overload, aluminum wiring, or ungrounded outlets—we’ll walk you through your options clearly and honestly. No scare tactics, just straight talk and solid solutions.
