When to call for emergency service in Bossier City
Call 318-688-2788 immediately if you smell burning insulation, see smoke or scorch marks at an outlet or panel, hear sizzling inside a wall, have a breaker that refuses to reset, or have lost power on one leg while the other still works. Don't keep flipping breakers trying to fix it — cut the main and call us.
We answer 24/7 and dispatch an electrician to Bossier City as quickly as possible. There are no overtime or weekend fees. We arrive with stocked trucks, restore safe power as quickly as possible, and document everything you'll need for an insurance claim if storm damage, a lightning strike, or a fire is involved. We also coordinate with SWEPCO when the problem is on the utility side rather than yours.
Half the house dead? That's a lost neutral
If half your outlets go dead while lights on the other half get brighter or flicker, the neutral at your service has likely failed. Voltage swings well past 120 volts and can ruin refrigerators, AC control boards, TVs, and computers within minutes. Turn off the main, unplug electronics, and call. We find out whether the failure is in your panel, your meter base, or SWEPCO's drop — and fix your side the same visit.
Storm damage in Bossier Parish
Spring line storms and summer lightning regularly pull limbs through service drops and tear masts off the house in North Bossier, Plantation Park, and the older streets off Barksdale Boulevard. We repair masts, weatherheads, and meter bases, replace surge-damaged breakers and panels, and stand by for the SWEPCO reconnect so power comes back as soon as their crew clears the line. If the damage is claimable, we photograph it and write up the cause before we start.
What an emergency call costs in Bossier City
The same rate as a weekday morning — no overtime, weekend, or holiday surcharge, and no emergency dispatch fee. You get a written price before any repair starts. Most after-hours fixes, like a failed breaker, a burned outlet, or a dead circuit traced and repaired, are handled in one visit.

What to do right now
- Sparking outlet or switch: Don't touch it. Turn off that circuit's breaker, unplug nearby devices, and call.
- Burning smell at the panel: If it's safe to reach, switch off the main breaker. Leave the house if you see smoke or flames and call 911 first.
- Storm damage, meter base or service mast: Stay away from downed or sagging lines. Call SWEPCO for the utility side and us for your side.
- Half the house lost power: Often a failed neutral that can damage electronics. Turn off the main, unplug sensitive equipment, and call.
