As a licensed electrician in New Orleans, Louisiana, we check your electric service, calculate load, and recommend the right amp panel for today and tomorrow.

Old panels and tired main breakers can overheat and create risk; we replace them with clean, code-ready installations. You’ll get clear options, fair upgrade cost, and fast scheduling from friendly techs.

Ready for more power, fewer headaches, and peace of mind? Call Professional Electric at (504) 858-0270 or request a visit online. We’re local, respectful, and committed to doing the job right the first time—always today.

We replace outdated panels with a clean, code-compliant 200-amp main panel that delivers safe, reliable power for modern living. Our licensed electricians handle permits, utility coordination, and the cutover, then label every circuit for easy future service. If you plan an EV charger, new HVAC, or a kitchen upgrade, this replacement gives the extra capacity and breaker spaces you need.

A failing main breaker can overheat, buzz, or trip without warning. We diagnose the cause, verify load, and install a properly rated replacement that matches your panel and service. During the visit we tighten connections, check grounding, and test each feeder for heat or voltage drop. You’ll get clear pricing, fast scheduling, and a safe return to dependable household power.

Right size equals right results. We perform a NEC-based load calculation that considers square footage, appliances, HVAC, EV charging, and future plans. Then we recommend the amp rating—100, 150, 200, or larger—and explain why. You receive options, panel costs, and timelines, so you can choose confidently. The outcome is a panel sized for today with room to grow and comfort.

Messy panels cause confusion and trips. We replace worn breakers with listed, properly sized models, add AFCI or GFCI where required, and spread loads across phases to reduce nuisance issues. Circuits get grouped logically, double-taps corrected, and labeling updated. You’ll end with a neat layout that’s easy to service, safer to operate, and ready for future additions or remodels smoothly.

Strong grounding and bonding protect people and equipment. We install or repair ground rods, water pipe bonds, grounding electrode conductors, and panel bonding jumpers to meet code. Connections are cleaned, torqued, and tested. This reduces shock risk, helps breakers trip correctly, and improves surge protection performance. We document results and labeling so future work stays clear, safe, and consistent always.

We mount a listed whole-home surge protective device at your main panel to shield appliances, HVAC, and electronics from voltage spikes. Installation includes proper breaker sizing, short lead lengths, and a grounding check for best performance. You’ll gain layered protection and less risk after storms or utility events. We explain indicator lights, warranties, and simple maintenance so you stay protected.

New appliances deserve their own circuits. We add dedicated lines and breakers for ranges, microwaves, dryers, tankless heaters, and workshop tools. Our team verifies panel capacity, selects the correct wire size, and installs matching receptacles or disconnects. The result is fewer trips, better performance, and longer equipment life. We label everything clearly and provide a tidy, code-compliant finish for you.

When the main panel is full, a subpanel creates space and keeps wiring organized. We select the right enclosure and feeder size, install isolated neutrals, and balance loads for smooth operation. Garages, additions, and studios benefit most. You’ll get labeled circuits, room for future projects, and a clean, professional installation that meets code and keeps power flowing safely and reliably.

Weathered service equipment can jeopardize reliability. We upgrade the meter base, service entrance cable, and mast to match your panel’s amp rating and utility requirements. The job includes proper grounding, drip loops, supports, and sealed penetrations. We coordinate with the utility for disconnect and reconnection, minimize downtime, and complete inspection paperwork. Expect a neat, durable installation built to last safely.

Certain older panels are known for failures and poor breaker performance. We identify problem brands and models, explain the risks, and replace them with a modern, listed panel sized for your load. The work includes new breakers, labeling, grounding checks, and clean wiring. You’ll gain dependable operation, easier future service, and improved safety for your household and valuable electronics today.
