What "24/7" actually means here

Plenty of electricians advertise 24-hour service and route after-hours calls to an answering service that takes a message. When you call 318-688-2788 at 2 a.m., someone who can actually dispatch a truck picks up. We tell you honestly whether the problem needs a truck tonight or can safely wait until morning — and if it can wait, we say so instead of billing you for a midnight visit.

Problems worth calling about immediately

Burning or hot-plastic smells, smoke or brown scorch marks at an outlet or panel, sizzling or buzzing inside a wall, a breaker that is warm to the touch, a breaker that trips again the instant you reset it, sparks when you plug something in, or losing power to roughly half the house while the other half browns out. That last one usually means a lost neutral at the service, and it can ruin a refrigerator, HVAC board, or computer within minutes.

Nights, weekends, and holidays — same price

Most electrical trouble does not happen during business hours, and charging double for it has never made sense to us. There is no overtime rate, no after-hours trip fee, and no holiday surcharge on any call. You get a firm number before work starts, whatever the clock says.

Storms and outages in Northwest Louisiana

Spring line storms, summer lightning, ice, and hurricane remnants all hit this area hard. We handle the customer-side repairs after a storm — masts and weatherheads, meter bases, panels and breakers, grounding — and coordinate reconnection with SWEPCO so power returns as soon as their crew clears the line. If your generator will not transfer, we work on those overnight too.

Where we respond around the clock

All of Shreveport and Bossier City, plus Haughton, Benton, Keithville, Greenwood, Princeton, Blanchard, Stonewall, and the surrounding Caddo and Bossier Parish areas — every night of the year.

24/7 Electrician FAQ

Are you really open 24 hours?

Yes. A real person answers 318-688-2788 at any hour, including nights, weekends, and holidays. You are not leaving a voicemail and waiting for a callback in the morning.

Does a 24-hour electrician cost more at night?

Not with us. There is no overtime rate, no after-hours fee, and no holiday surcharge. A 3 a.m. Sunday call is billed the same as a Tuesday morning call.

How fast can a 24/7 electrician reach me?

Most after-hours calls inside Shreveport and Bossier City are reached within 60–90 minutes. Outlying areas — Haughton, Benton, Keithville, Greenwood — usually run 90 minutes or a little more depending on weather.

What should I do while I wait?

If you smell burning plastic, see smoke or sparks, or a breaker will not stay set, shut off the main breaker if you can reach it safely and stay out of that area. If half the house lost power, unplug electronics and appliances — a lost neutral can destroy them before we arrive.

Do you handle commercial emergencies overnight?

Yes. Restaurants, coolers and freezers, retail, clinics, and warehouses along the I-20 corridor are a large share of our after-hours work. We prioritize anything keeping a business from opening.

Will you work with my insurance after storm or fire damage?

Yes. We photograph the damage, write up the cause and the repairs performed, and provide an itemized invoice your adjuster can work from.
