Signs You Need An Electrician
There are several signs you may need to call Doug’s electricians.
Buzzing
While electricity does a million things, it's supposed to do so silently. If you can hear buzzing from an electrical appliance contact the manufacturer, but if it's coming from your lights or electrical panel contact us today.
Flickering lights
If your electrical grid is spread too thin, flickering lights will be the first indication that you might want to upgrade your electrical panel.
A power strip attached to another
If you're considering attaching a power brick to another then you don't have the outlets you need. Give us a call and we'll provide you with all the electrical outlets you need to avoid this fire hazard.
Outlets that are warm to the touch
Like the buzzing sound, electricity isn't supposed to get hot if everything is wired correctly. If you're noticing that it's a little bit warm it's better to be safe than sorry.
Rust on your electrical panel
If there is any rusting going on then you have water where there shouldn't be any and you should get in touch with our electrician team right away.

Breakers and Fuses
Repairing Circuit Breakers & Fuses in Houma & Thibodaux
When they are working properly, your circuit breakers and fuses help to prevent electrical shocks, sparks and fires. If you are having any type of issues, our electricians can provide you with a solution for your Houma or Thibodaux home. Our top priority is to serve your electrical needs and improve the safety of your home.
Professional Electricians for Your Breaker or Fuse
The main difference between a breaker and a fuse is the way each interrupts an electricity flow. A breaker uses a spring-loaded part that trips the circuit when it becomes overloaded. Because they can be manually switched back, breakers do not have a limit on how many times they can be tripped.
A fuse uses a strip of metal that is melted when it becomes overloaded. These are most often seen in older homes and have to be replaced once they are blown.
Our team can handle all types of breaker and fuse repairs, including:
- Replacing inadequate wiring.
- Replacing old breakers.
- Replacing or repairing breaker panels.
There are many signs that your circuit breakers or fuses need to be repaired or replaced. The most obvious is breakers that are frequently tripping. If you have noticed any strange smells, especially around your breaker box, or unusual noises inside the panel, it may be time for professional repair.
