24-Hour Emergency Electrician

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 and Livingston Parish. 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

• 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.
