Jabeau Electric - New Orleans's Local Electrical Contractor

In New Orleans, a tripping breaker often signals an overloaded panel, a common issue in older homes not designed for modern appliance loads. Our comprehensive electrical inspection will assess your entire system's capacity and load distribution. We'll identify if your panel is overloaded, check for faulty breakers, and provide a clear, expert recommendation—whether it's a simple repair, a panel upgrade, or adding dedicated circuits—to restore safe, reliable power to your home.

Our high humidity and frequent rain make outdoor outlets in New Orleans particularly susceptible to corrosion and water intrusion, which can lead to failure, shorts, or shock hazards. During an inspection, we meticulously check all exterior receptacles for proper sealing, corrosion damage, and GFCI protection. We'll identify any outlets that are compromised, explain the safety risks, and recommend solutions like upgrading to weatherproof, in-use covers or installing new GFCI outlets to ensure your outdoor power is both functional and safe.

Our local inspection goes beyond a standard checklist. We specifically look for issues prevalent in our climate, such as: corrosion in the main service panel and outdoor connections, adequacy of GFCI protection in damp areas (kitchens, bathrooms, outdoors), signs of overload in older breaker panels common in historic districts, and the condition of wiring in attics and crawlspaces exposed to heat and humidity. This targeted approach ensures we find the problems that matter most for safety and longevity in a New Orleans home.
