Electrical Company Lake Charles LA | Call Bayou Specialties & Electric

The high humidity in our area accelerates corrosion at the electrical meter base, which can cause arcing, power surges, or even a complete failure. During our inspection, we specifically check for signs of this corrosion, test the connections for integrity, and can perform preventative maintenance or replacement to ensure a safe, reliable connection from the utility to your home, preventing costly and dangerous failures down the line.

Ceiling fans are often installed in attics or second-story spaces where heat and humidity accumulate, stressing the wiring connections over time. This can lead to flickering, failure to operate, or even a fire hazard. Our electrical inspection includes testing the load and integrity of fan circuits, securing loose connections, and ensuring proper installation to solve existing problems and prevent future wiring failures common in our local climate.

For meter corrosion, watch for flickering lights, burning smells near the meter, or unexplained circuit breaker trips. For ceiling fan wiring, signs include fans that won't turn on, operate only at certain speeds, make buzzing sounds, or cause lights to dim when turned on. If you notice any of these warning signs, it's a good idea to call us for a professional inspection to diagnose and safely resolve the issue before it becomes a major repair.
