Call right away if you see any of this
Shut off the main breaker and call 318-688-2788 if you smell burning insulation or hot plastic, see smoke or brown scorch marks around an outlet, switch, or panel cover, hear sizzling or crackling inside a wall, feel a warm or discolored breaker, or have a breaker that trips again the instant you reset it. Repeatedly resetting a tripping breaker is the single most common way a small fault turns into a house fire — the breaker is doing its job, and something behind it needs to be found.
Half your house lost power — that's an emergency
When roughly half your outlets go dead and the other half start browning out or burning bulbs, you almost certainly have a lost neutral at the service. Voltage that should be a balanced 120/120 swings to something like 80/160, and anything plugged in on the high leg — refrigerator, HVAC boards, TVs, computers — can be destroyed in minutes. Turn off the main and call us; we can usually isolate whether the failure is in your panel, your meter base, or SWEPCO's service drop within the first half hour on-site.
Storm season in Northwest Louisiana
Between spring line storms, summer lightning, and the tail end of hurricane season, Shreveport gets a steady supply of downed limbs on service drops, water-intruded meter bases, and surge-fried panels. We handle the customer-side work — mast and weatherhead repairs, meter base replacement, panel and breaker replacement, grounding repairs — and coordinate the reconnect with SWEPCO so power comes back on as soon as their crew clears the pole. If the damage is claimable, we document it in writing with photos before we start.
