"Because of covid 19 precautions I only requested a replacement of my outside circuit breaker panel. Scott was through in explaining the cost and license requirements. He quickly supplied documents for my insurance company. The job took slightly less time than anticipated. I will call again when I feel better about allowing people in the house to check individual outlets."

"The structure we had is older and the electrical has been an issue for years. We must’ve had 5 or more companies come out to “fix it,” only to leave us a big bill and the issues resurfacing after a short while. Coast came in and was diligent, finding issues everyone else overlooked. They will get the call moving forward."

"Communication with Mr. Blanchard was great.  When I first spoke with him about the work he told me when he was able to come out.  He said he would call before he came which he did.  He came at the time we set up.  He gave suggestions as to how to fix the problems.  He performed the work in a timely manner.  He was very professional.  He had all parts needed for the job on his truck.  The bill was very reasonable for the work performed.  Thank you very much.  I will definitely call Mr. Blanchard for any future electrical needs. "

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Gretna, LA

Yes, the National Electrical Code mandates GFCI protection for all outdoor outlets. These specialized outlets detect minute current imbalances that could indicate electricity flowing through water or a person rather than the intended circuit. When detected, they automatically disconnect power within milliseconds, providing crucial protection against shock hazards in moisture-prone outdoor environments.

Professional electricians complete straightforward outdoor outlet installations in one to two hours. More complex projects involving lengthy wire runs, wall penetrations, or panel modifications may require several hours to one day or more. DIY installations often take considerably longer due to the learning curve, safety precautions, and potential troubleshooting required.

While installing an outdoor outlet is technically possible for homeowners with electrical experience, it's not recommended as a DIY project. Outdoor electrical installations involve specialized knowledge of weatherproofing techniques, grounding requirements, and electrical codes. Mistakes can lead to serious safety hazards, property damage, code violations, and potential insurance complications. Professional electricians bring expertise that ensures both safety and compliance.
