Panel upgrades, standby generator installs, and emergency electrical repairs across Baton Rouge.
Call for Same-Day Electrical ServiceAs Louisiana’s capital and the largest market we serve, Baton Rouge puts real demand on older electrical systems. From mid-century homes near downtown and the Garden District to newer builds and small commercial spaces along Airline Highway and Perkins Road, we take on the work that keeps your power safe, code-compliant, and reliable.
SoLit Electric is owned and operated by Yancie David, a licensed and insured electrical contractor with more than a decade of hands-on field experience. Straight answers, honest estimates, and clean work — for homeowners and small businesses across the city.
Honest, no-upsell electrical work from your local SoLit Electric crew.
Aging or overloaded breaker boxes replaced with panels sized for what the house actually draws — central air, appliances, a home office, an EV charger. In Baton Rouge’s older mid-century homes a 100-amp panel that was comfortable in 1965 is now carrying the whole building, and we size the replacement to the demand rather than to the old label.
Standby generator wiring, transfer switches and interlock kits, so the house stays lit when the grid goes down. We handle the connection point and the wiring, and we will tell you plainly whether your existing service can carry the generator you are considering before you buy it.
Tripped breakers, dead circuits, flickering lights, warm outlets and burning smells diagnosed and repaired safely, day or night. We track down the cause instead of resetting the breaker and hoping, because a circuit that keeps tripping is telling you something specific.
Dedicated 240V circuits run cleanly for Level 2 EV charging, welders, kilns and shop equipment. When a panel is already near its limit we say so before you buy the charger, and quote the service upgrade alongside it so the number is honest up front.
Whole-house surge protection installed at the main panel, where it can stop a transient before it reaches HVAC boards, appliances and electronics. Utility switching, storm activity and large motors starting nearby all push spikes through a Baton Rouge service, and a panel-mounted device covers every circuit rather than one outlet strip.
Owned and operated by Yancie David. SoLit Electric is a licensed, insured electrical contractor based in Baton Rouge. We treat your home like our own: clean work, honest estimates, and no cutting corners.
Baton Rouge spans a century of housing. That range is most of the work: a 1940s bungalow with two-wire circuits and no equipment ground, a 1960s ranch still on its original panel, and a new build that needs a single 240V line run for a charger. Each one asks a different question, and the answers are not interchangeable.
Commercial and light-industrial spaces along Airline Highway and Perkins Road ask another set: dedicated circuits for equipment, clean power for sensitive electronics, and outage protection that keeps a business trading through a Louisiana storm.
St. George is the part of East Baton Rouge Parish that incorporated as the City of Saint George in 2019 — the neighbourhoods around Highland, Siegen and Bluebonnet that still carry Baton Rouge mailing addresses. If your mail says Baton Rouge but your address is inside the St. George boundary, this is the page for you.
We work St. George the same way we work the rest of the parish: same phone number, same licensed electricians, same crew. That covers panel upgrades in the older subdivisions, EV charger installs in the newer builds, generator work before storm season, and the everyday failures — a breaker that keeps tripping, a dead circuit, an outlet that smells hot.
Wiring does not care which city hall answers the phone. If you are in St. George and something electrical has gone wrong, call 225-472-1165 and it is handled exactly like a Baton Rouge call.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. SoLit Electric is owned and operated by Yancie David, a Louisiana Master Electrician, and the business carries LA State Contractors License #76273.
Do emergency calls cost extra?
Emergency call-outs are subject to a fee, and the site says so on every page. We would rather you know that before you dial than find it on an invoice.
Which areas do you cover?
Baton Rouge, Denham Springs, Prairieville and Gonzales, and St. George. Baton Rouge is our largest market and the city the business is based in.
