A real local electrician — not a national dispatch service

When you search "electrician near me" you get a mix of local shops, national booking apps, and franchises that dispatch subcontractors. Ed's Electric is the first kind. We've been based in Shreveport since the early 1980s, our electricians are W-2 employees, and the truck that pulls into your driveway is one of our trucks. If something isn't right, you're calling the same office that sent us.

Where we cover

We serve roughly a 25-mile radius around downtown Shreveport: Shreveport (all of it — Broadmoor, Highland, South Highlands, Southern Loop, Cross Lake, Ellerbe Woods, Southern Hills), Bossier City (Stonebridge, Greenacres, Legacy, Plantation Trace, Southgate), Haughton, Benton, Keithville, Greenwood, Stonewall, and Blanchard. If your address is outside that ring, call us anyway — we'll tell you honestly whether the trip makes sense or refer you to someone who's closer.

Common "near me" calls

Most same-day requests we take are the everyday problems: an outlet that stopped working, a ceiling fan that needs to be hung, a breaker that trips every time the microwave runs, a light fixture that needs to be replaced up high, a hot tub or EV charger that needs a new circuit. We also handle the bigger jobs — panel upgrades, whole-house rewires, generator hookups, commercial tenant fit-outs — but the day-to-day stuff is what keeps our schedule full.

How to get on today's schedule

Call 318-688-2788 or text 318-250-5774. For emergencies (burning smell, sparking, no power to half the house) we dispatch immediately, 24/7, with no overtime charges. For standard calls we'll give you a two-hour arrival window and text on the way.
