Farthing Electric - New Orleans's Reliable Electrical Repair

Older wiring systems, common in historic New Orleans homes, may not meet current safety codes or handle modern electrical loads, posing a fire risk. Our 40+ years of experience, including commercial and residential construction, allows us to thoroughly assess your system. We identify potential hazards like outdated knob-and-tube wiring, insufficient grounding, or overloaded circuits and provide clear recommendations for safe, code-compliant upgrades to protect your property.

Absolutely. Given our frequent Gulf Coast storms, whole-house surge protection is a wise investment. We can install a surge protection device directly at your main electrical panel. This acts as a first line of defense, diverting massive voltage spikes from lightning or grid fluctuations away from your sensitive electronics and appliances, complementing any plug-in protectors you may already use.

Proper generator installation is critical for safety and performance, especially ahead of hurricane season. Our team, with extensive experience in both industrial inspection and residential work, will assess your home's power needs to recommend the right size unit. We handle the full installation, including a transfer switch that safely isolates your generator from the utility grid—a vital step to protect utility workers and your home's electrical system during an outage.
