Shreveport Electrician — Powering Homes & Businesses Across Northwest Louisiana

Trusted Shreveport electricians since the early 1980s

Ed's Electric is a family-run electrical contractor based in Shreveport, Louisiana, serving homeowners, landlords, property managers, general contractors, and small business owners across Caddo, Bossier, and DeSoto parishes. For more than 40 years our licensed journeymen and master electricians have wired everything from 1920s shotgun houses in Highland to lakefront homes on Cross Lake, commercial buildouts in downtown Shreveport, restaurant kitchens in Bossier City, and metal shop buildings out in Keithville and Greenwood. The work is permitted, inspected, and backed in writing — no handshake jobs, no unlicensed subs on your panel.

Most service calls start the same way: a free written estimate. We come out, walk the property, pull the dead-front off the panel, check the grounding electrode system and the meter base, and ask what's been going on — flickering lights, a breaker that won't stay set, warm or discolored receptacles, a remodel adding a kitchen island, a new hot tub, a Tesla in the driveway, or a generator going on the side of the house. You'll get the price up front with the scope of work spelled out before any tools come off the truck.

Residential, commercial, and 24/7 emergency electrical service

On the residential side we handle service upgrades from 100A to 200A and 400A, full and partial rewires of older homes with cloth or aluminum branch wiring, replacement of recalled Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels, AFCI/GFCI compliance, whole-home surge protection (NEC 230.67), ceiling fans, recessed and under-cabinet lighting, landscape and security lighting, smoke and CO detector circuits, dedicated appliance circuits, hot tub and pool bonding, and standby generator transfer switches for Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton units. On the commercial side we wire restaurants, retail, medical offices, warehouses, and light industrial — three-phase service, transformers, motor control, parking-lot pole lights, exit and emergency egress lighting, tenant finish-out, and ongoing maintenance contracts.

Emergencies are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 318-688-2788, and we don't add overtime, holiday, or after-hours surcharges. The rate on a Sunday night is the same as a Tuesday morning. If you smell hot plastic at the panel, see scorch marks at an outlet, lose power to half the house while the other half still works, or have storm damage to the meter mast or service drop, cut the main breaker and call. Our trucks are stocked to restore safe power on the first visit in the vast majority of cases.

Licensed, bonded, insured — and local

Ed's Electric holds an active Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors electrical contractor license, carries general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and will send a current certificate of insurance to any HOA, commercial landlord, or insurance adjuster who requests one. We pull permits with the City of Shreveport, City of Bossier City, and the relevant parish authority, coordinate SWEPCO disconnects and reconnects on service-side work, and meet the inspector on-site so jobs close out cleanly. When you call, you're talking to the people who will actually be on your property — not a dispatch center three states away.
