Experienced Electrical Company in New Orleans, LA 70128 - Brotherhood Electrical

This is a very common issue in our area, often caused by older wiring, overloaded circuits, or moisture from our humid climate. Our first step is a thorough electrical inspection to pinpoint the exact cause. We can then perform the necessary repair, which may involve circuit breaker repair, wire installation to correct a faulty circuit, or an outlet or switch repair to resolve the short. We ensure your AFCI protection works correctly for safety without the nuisance trips.

The best defense is a multi-layered approach. We recommend a whole-house surge protector installed directly at your main electric panel. This device absorbs massive surges before they enter your home. For critical systems, we also suggest a generator installation to maintain power and prevent damage from brownouts. After a storm, our electric inspection can identify and repair any surge damage to your panel, outlets, or appliances to prevent future hazards.

Absolutely. Many older New Orleans homes require a panel upgrade to support the demand of a Level 2 EV charging station. Our process starts with an electric inspection and load calculation. We then perform any necessary electric panel installation or repair to provide a safe, dedicated circuit. Our certified installers ensure your new charging station is installed to code, protecting your investment and your home from potential overloading issues.
