Titus Electric serves homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses across Zachary and East Baton Rouge Parish with full-scope residential and commercial electrical work. We are a family-run electrical business, and we keep our schedule flexible so we can take same-day calls, weekend jobs, and after-hours requests when the situation calls for it. Whether you need a single outlet fixed or a complete panel replacement, we come to you ready to work. Know the price. Know the arrival window. Know your electrician. Call (225) 592-3956 for a quote.
Seeing flickering lights or a warm outlet? Those are signs something in your electrical system needs attention, and putting it off rarely makes it cheaper or safer. We troubleshoot and diagnose before we touch anything, so you understand exactly what is wrong and what it will take to fix it.
Common calls we handle include dead outlets, outlets that spark or feel warm, circuit breakers that keep tripping, burning smells near a panel or outlet, and rooms that lose power while the rest of the house stays on. We also install and replace GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas, swap out worn switches, and track down the source of intermittent problems that other contractors have missed.
We make the fix and leave it tidy.
Electrical problems don't wait, and neither do we, especially when the issue is at the panel. An overloaded or outdated panel is one of the most common reasons breakers trip repeatedly or circuits stop working without an obvious cause. We handle panel replacements and upgrades from 100-amp to 200-amp service, main panel replacements, subpanel installations, and service-entrance and meter upgrades.
Every panel job includes a load calculation so the new equipment is properly sized for your home or building. We install AFCI and GFCI breakers where code requires them and run all wiring to current standards. We stand behind every circuit we touch, and that means the finished work is clean, labeled, and ready for whatever you add next.
From a single GFCI outlet to a whole-home rewire, we've seen it all, and we bring the same care to small jobs as we do to large ones.
Older homes in the Zachary area sometimes still carry knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. Both present real safety concerns, and we replace them with modern, code-compliant wiring that supports today's electrical loads. We also handle whole-home rewires for renovation projects, additions, and homes where the wiring has simply reached the end of its useful life.
We install recessed lighting, ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, pendants, and under-cabinet lighting inside your home or business. Outside, we run circuits for landscape lighting, security lights, motion sensor fixtures, and exterior wall and post-mounted lights. Good outdoor lighting adds both safety and curb appeal, and we wire it to last.
Ceiling fan installation and replacement is one of our most common residential calls. We handle the wiring whether a box and switch exist already or need to be added, and we install fans with or without integrated lighting.
Major appliances need their own circuits. We install dedicated circuits for dryers, stoves, refrigerators, and other high-draw equipment, including 240-volt outlets where the appliance requires them. Kitchen and laundry room circuit upgrades are common requests, and we size every circuit to match the load.
We protect your floors and finishes while we work. Give us a call and we'll get the power sorted.
East Baton Rouge Parish runs hot and humid from spring through fall, and hurricane season stretches from June through November. Thunderstorms roll through regularly, lightning is a genuine concern, and backyard pools are a normal part of life here. We're a local crew that answers when you call, and we know which jobs come up most often in this part of Louisiana.
Power outages in this region are not rare events. A serious storm can knock out grid power for days, and a whole-home standby generator means your lights, refrigerator, and other essential circuits keep running without any action on your part. We handle the complete electrical side of generator installation: the transfer switch, the generator hookup, and the wiring that connects everything to your panel. When the power goes out, your generator comes on automatically.
Louisiana's frequency of lightning strikes makes whole-home surge protection one of the smartest investments a property owner can make here. A surge protector installed at the panel guards every circuit in the building, not just the outlets where you happen to plug in a power strip. We also check grounding and bonding as part of any surge protection job, because a properly grounded system is the foundation that makes surge protection work.
Year-round warm weather means pools and spas in this area get real use, and the electrical work around them has to be done right. We run dedicated circuits for pool pumps, spa equipment, and outdoor lighting, install GFCI protection at every required point, and make sure all grounding and bonding meets code. This is not work to cut corners on, and we treat every pool and spa job as the safety-critical project it is.
Pick up the phone and we'll handle the wiring.
Our customers call us back because we make wiring simple, and that applies to commercial clients just as much as residential ones. We work with property managers, business owners, retail tenants, and office operators across East Baton Rouge Parish. Commercial jobs we handle include electrical repairs, panel upgrades sized for commercial loads, commercial wiring for new builds and tenant improvements, and lighting installation for offices, retail spaces, and common areas.
We also install Level 2 EV chargers for businesses adding charging stations for employees or customers, as well as residential EV charger circuits for homeowners who want a dedicated outlet in the garage. No pressure and no gimmicks, just safe, solid wiring that meets code and holds up to daily use.
Getting your power back is easier than you think, and sometimes the first step is simply knowing what you are dealing with. A safety inspection gives you a clear picture of your electrical system's condition. We check panels, wiring, outlets, grounding, and other components for hazards, code issues, and anything that needs attention before it becomes a problem.
Inspections are common before a real estate purchase, after a renovation, or when a home or building has not had a professional look at the wiring in several years. We document what we find and explain your options plainly. Work performed by licensed electricians means you get a reliable assessment, not a sales pitch. We make the fix and leave it tidy.
We keep availability open for same-day calls, weekend work, and after-hours situations when something can't wait until Monday morning. When you call, we give you an upfront quote before any work begins so there are no surprises on the invoice. Call (225) 592-3956 to request an estimate and get a real answer about timing and cost.
Zachary is our home base, and we serve customers throughout East Baton Rouge Parish and the communities nearby. Our regular service area includes Baker, Central, Slaughter, Clinton, Baton Rouge, and Prairieville, along with the neighborhoods and rural properties in between. Residential and commercial clients across the region count on us for everything from quick repairs to full electrical installations.
Yes, we work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners throughout Zachary and East Baton Rouge Parish. Whether you need a single outlet repaired or a commercial panel upgraded, we handle it. Call (225) 592-3956 and tell us what you are dealing with.
Flickering lights, outlets that feel warm or look discolored, breakers that trip repeatedly, and burning smells near a panel or outlet are all signs something needs attention now. These symptoms usually point to a specific problem that gets more expensive and more dangerous the longer it goes unaddressed. Call us and we will walk you through what we are seeing and what it will take to fix it.
Same-day availability is often possible for urgent calls, and we keep our schedule flexible for after-hours and weekend situations when something cannot wait. When you call (225) 592-3956, we give you a real answer about timing rather than a vague window. We work every day from 7:30 AM to 8:30 PM.
We give you a clear quote before any work begins, based on the actual scope of the job and the materials involved. If we find something unexpected once work is underway, we tell you before we proceed, so there are no surprise line items on the invoice. The goal is that you know what you are paying before we touch anything.
Our regular service area includes Baker, Central, Slaughter, Jackson, Baton Rouge, Denham Springs, and Walker, along with other communities throughout East Baton Rouge Parish and nearby. If you are not sure whether we reach your address, call us and ask. We are straightforward about where we work and how fast we can get to you.
Payment is due when the job is complete. We go over the quote with you before we start, confirm the scope, and collect payment once the work is finished and you have had a chance to see it. We do not ask for payment upfront before any work is done.
Pricing is based on the scope of the work, the materials required, and whether the panel needs any attention before the job can happen safely. A larger home does not automatically mean a higher price. A small repair in a large home may cost less than a panel upgrade in a small one. We explain what drives the cost before we start.
Someone should be present to give access to the panel and the work areas and to review what we find before work begins. If your schedule is complicated, call us at (225) 592-3956 and we will work out an arrangement that fits. We communicate clearly about arrival windows so you are not waiting around.
It helps to have the panel accessible and the area around the work locations reasonably clear. We do not need a completely empty room, but being able to reach the panel and the outlets without moving heavy furniture saves time on both sides. If you have questions about what to prepare, ask when you call.
If the job turns out to be more involved than what we discussed on the phone, we tell you before we proceed. We do not add charges at the end of the visit without your approval. Transparent pricing from the first call to the final invoice is how we operate.
A single visit can cover a wide range of work depending on what we find: outlet and switch replacement, breaker diagnosis, GFCI installation, panel inspection, circuit troubleshooting, or lighting and fan installation. If the job is larger than one visit can handle, we tell you upfront and schedule accordingly. We come prepared for most common residential and commercial electrical calls.

What are the signs that my electrical panel needs to be upgraded?
The most common signs are breakers that trip repeatedly without an obvious overload, a panel that feels warm to the touch, lights that flicker when appliances kick on, and a home that still has 100-amp service but now runs multiple large appliances. If you are adding an EV charger, a standby generator, or a major kitchen or laundry upgrade, we will check whether your current panel has the capacity to support it before we start.
Why do my breakers keep tripping?
A breaker that trips repeatedly is telling you something. It could be a circuit that is carrying more load than it was designed for, a wiring fault somewhere on the circuit, or a failing breaker that is no longer holding its rating. In some cases it points to a problem at the panel itself. We diagnose the cause before we replace anything so the fix actually solves the problem.
Is the electrical work permitted and inspected?
Work that requires a permit in East Baton Rouge Parish is pulled and inspected to code. We do not skip that step. Permitted work protects you at resale and confirms that the installation meets current safety standards. If you are not sure whether your project requires a permit, ask when you call and we will walk you through it.
Same-Day and After-Hours Availability
We keep our schedule flexible for urgent calls, weekend jobs, and after-hours situations when something cannot wait. When you call, we give you a real answer about timing.
How do I know if my older home needs to be rewired?
Homes built before the 1970s may still have knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, both of which present safety concerns with today's electrical loads. Warning signs include frequently tripping breakers, outlets that do not work, visible wiring that looks frayed or brittle, and a panel that has been modified multiple times over the years. A safety inspection gives you a clear picture of what you are working with and what, if anything, needs to be replaced.
What does flickering or dimming lights usually mean?
Occasional flickering when a large appliance starts up is normal. Persistent flickering, dimming that affects multiple rooms, or lights that dim when you plug something in are signs of a wiring issue, a loose connection, or a panel that is struggling with the load. These symptoms are worth investigating because a loose connection left alone can become a fire hazard.
Is a warm or buzzing outlet something I should worry about?
Yes. An outlet that feels warm, makes a buzzing sound, or shows any discoloration around the faceplate is a sign of a wiring problem or a failing device. These are not symptoms to watch and wait on. Call us and we will find out what is causing it.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We quote the job before we start and tell you about any changes before we make them. What we quote is what you pay, with no line items added after the fact.
What does whole-home surge protection actually cover?
A surge protector installed at the panel guards every circuit in your home, not just the outlets where you plug in a power strip. That means your refrigerator, HVAC system, washer, dryer, and any hardwired electronics are all protected. In an area with as much lightning activity as Louisiana sees, panel-level surge protection is one of the more practical investments a homeowner can make.
How does generator hookup work, and what do I need to have installed?
A standby generator connects to your home through a transfer switch, which is the component that detects a power outage and automatically switches your home to generator power. We install the transfer switch, run the wiring from the generator to your panel, and make sure the hookup is sized for the circuits you want to keep running. We handle the electrical side; the generator itself is supplied separately.
Work Performed by Licensed Electricians
Every job is handled by licensed electricians who follow current code requirements. We stand behind every circuit we touch, and the finished work is clean, labeled, and built to last.
Do I need to be home when the electrician arrives?
Someone should be present to give access to the panel and the work areas and to go over what we find before we start. If your schedule is tight, call us and we will work out an arrival window that fits. We give you a real time window, not a vague all-day range.
How does pricing work, and will the quote change once work starts?
We give you a clear quote before any work begins, based on the actual scope and materials involved. If we find something unexpected once we are into the job, we tell you before we proceed. We do not add charges at the end of a visit without your approval. The goal is that you know what you are paying before we touch anything.
Can you add circuits for a workshop, home office, or new appliance?
Yes. Adding a dedicated circuit is one of the most common requests we handle. Whether you are setting up a workshop with power tools, adding a home office with reliable power, or installing a new dryer or range, we size the circuit to the load and run it cleanly. If your panel needs capacity to support the addition, we handle that at the same time.
Every electrical job is a little different, so call us at (225) 592-3956 and tell us what you are dealing with. We will give you a straight answer on what it takes and what it costs.
