Dependable home electrical repairs, panel replacements, and backup generator setups.
Call for Same-Day Electrical ServiceAs Prairieville continues to boom, older systems struggle to keep up with high electrical demand, and summer storms routinely challenge the local grid. Our licensed team delivers dependable, honest electrical work for homeowners and growing neighborhoods across Prairieville.
From whole-home surge protection and backup generator wiring off Highway 73 and Airline to complete breaker box modernizations near Bluff Road, we treat every home like our own—safe, clean, and up to the latest National Electrical Code.
Honest, no-upsell electrical work from your local SoLit Electric crew.
Aging or overloaded breaker boxes replaced with panels sized for today’s demand. As Prairieville has grown, plenty of properties have added square footage, outbuildings and equipment to a service that was sized for none of it, and the panel is usually where that shows up first.
Standby generator wiring, transfer switches and interlock kits for the outages that follow summer storms. Larger homes mean more to keep running — air conditioning, well or lift pumps, refrigeration — so the transfer equipment gets sized for the whole house, not just the fridge.
Tripped breakers, dead circuits, flickering lights and burning smells diagnosed and repaired safely, day or night. Summer storm season is our busiest stretch, so an existing customer with a recurring fault gets looked at before the weather turns again.
Dedicated 240V circuits installed cleanly for Level 2 EV charging, welders and shop equipment. Two vehicles charging overnight is a real load, and we size the circuit and the panel capacity for both rather than for the car you own today.
Whole-house surge protection installed at the main panel, where it can stop a spike before it reaches HVAC boards, appliances and electronics. In a parish that keeps adding load to the same utility feed, a panel-mounted device protects every circuit at once.

Prairieville is one of the fastest-growing communities in the state, and the electrical work reflects a young, expanding market. Most of the housing is recent, which means the panel is often fine and the constraint is elsewhere: not enough circuits for how the house is actually used.
That usually means dedicated lines for EVs, outbuildings, shops and heavy equipment, and a service upgrade when the total load has quietly outgrown the original 200 amps. Older properties that predate the growth have the opposite problem, and get the same honest assessment either way.
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, stated on every page of this site, so the number is not a surprise at the end.
Does a new house need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?
Usually not. Most recent Prairieville homes carry enough service already, and the job is a dedicated 240V circuit. We check the load calculation first and tell you which of the two you actually need.
