Around-the-Clock Electrical Help

Electrical problems do not wait for business hours. SoLit Electric offers 24-hour emergency electrical service across Baton Rouge, Denham Springs, Prairieville, Gonzales. There is no answering service and no dispatch queue: when you call, you reach Yancie David — a Louisiana master electrician, licence #76273 — and she will come out.

What Counts as an Electrical Emergency?

Burning smells or visible smoke around an outlet, switch or panel.
Sparking, arcing, or scorch marks at an outlet, breaker or fixture.
Partial or total power loss when neighbours still have power.
A breaker that will not reset, or resets and trips again immediately.
Water in contact with electrical equipment — from storms or plumbing leaks.
Storm damage to a service mast, meter base or exterior wiring.
Buzzing or humming from a panel, or a panel that is hot to the touch.

What To Do While You Wait

Charred circuit breakers on a panel bus bar — Charred breakers on a bus bar. This is why a breaker that keeps tripping gets a diagnosis, not another reset.

If you can reach it safely, switch the affected circuit off at the breaker. Do not touch a panel that is wet, hot, sparking or smoking.
Smell burning or see smoke? Get everyone out of the house and call 911 first. Then call an electrician.
Do not reset a breaker repeatedly. A breaker that keeps tripping is doing its job — something is wrong.
Stay away from downed or damaged lines. Always treat them as live.
Move valuables away from the affected area if it is safe to do so, and leave the rest alone.

Emergency Call-Outs

Emergency and after-hours call-outs are subject to a fee, and you will know the cost before the work starts. Around-the-clock availability is a real service performed by a licensed professional, not a call-centre promise — it is not free, and it is never billed as a surprise.

If your problem is not urgent, it may be cheaper and simpler to schedule a standard appointment during normal working hours. Call and say what is happening and you will get a straight answer about whether it can wait.

What Customers Say

"Reached out on Sunday evening with an issue I was having at my house and SoLit Electric had already responded early the next morning. They set up the appointment with me immediately and came out the same day. The experience was easy from start to finish and I would highly recommend reaching out to them with any of your electrical needs!"

Common Questions

Do emergency calls cost extra?

Yes. Emergency and after-hours call-outs are subject to a fee, and you hear the cost before the work starts rather than after it. If the problem can safely wait for business hours, we will tell you that too.

Who answers the phone?

SoLit Electric answers personally, at any hour. This is an owner-operated business and Yancie still works in the field, so the person you talk to is often the person who shows up.

What should I do before you arrive?

Leave the affected breaker off, keep everyone away from anything sparking or hot, and if you see flames or smell smoke with no obvious source, call the fire department first — then call us.
