Titus Electric was built right here in Zachary, and every job we take on reflects that. We serve homeowners, property managers, and business owners across East Baton Rouge Parish with the kind of electrical work that gets done right and stays done. We're a local crew that answers when you call. Whether you need a tripped breaker reset, a full panel upgrade, or a generator wired in before storm season, we show up ready. Family-owned. Locally rooted. Ready to wire. Give us a call and we'll get the power sorted.
As a family-run electrical business, we handle the full range of residential and commercial electrical work, from quick outlet repairs to complete service upgrades. Every job is performed by licensed electricians who treat your home or building the way they'd treat their own. We troubleshoot problems others can't track down, install new circuits for growing power demands, and replace outdated panels that no longer meet code. Whether you own a single-family home, a rental property, or a commercial space, we bring the same care and attention to every job. Pick up the phone and we'll handle the wiring.
Electrical problems don't wait, and neither do we, so when something goes wrong, we move fast. A diagnostic visit starts with a thorough look at the circuit, panel, and affected devices. We find the source of flickering lights, dead outlets, and lights that won't respond, and we explain what we find before we do anything. GFCI and AFCI protection failures are among the most common issues we see, and both are quick fixes when caught early. We clear the fault, test the circuit, and confirm everything is stable before we leave.
Outlets and switches take a lot of daily use, and they wear out. We install and replace standard outlets, GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, weatherproof outdoor outlets, and USB-integrated receptacles. Switch work includes dimmers, three-way switches, and smart switch wiring. If you're adding an outdoor outlet for a patio or a workshop, we run the circuit correctly and protect it for the elements. We make the fix and leave it tidy.
A breaker that keeps tripping is telling you something. It may be a failing breaker, an overloaded circuit, or a panel that has reached the end of its useful life. We diagnose the issue, replace individual breakers when that is the right fix, and recommend a full panel replacement when the system can no longer safely carry the load. A 200-amp service upgrade is one of the most common jobs we handle for older homes, and we walk through the load calculation and code requirements with you before any work begins. We stand behind every circuit we touch, and that includes every panel we install.
From a single GFCI outlet to a whole-home rewire, we've seen it all, and we know what older homes in this area are dealing with. Some houses in and around Zachary still have knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch circuits that were never updated. Both create real safety and insurance issues, and rewiring resolves them. Dedicated circuits are a related concern. A dryer, refrigerator, or large kitchen appliance needs its own circuit to run safely without overloading shared wiring. We install dedicated circuits for all major appliances, confirm proper grounding and bonding throughout, and make sure the finished work meets current code. We make the fix and leave it tidy.
Our customers call us back because we make wiring simple, and nowhere is that more true than interior lighting and fan work. We install ceiling fans with or without existing wiring, hang light fixtures of all sizes, and run recessed LED lighting in living rooms, kitchens, and hallways. Under-cabinet lighting is a popular add-on during kitchen updates, and we handle that too. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, laying drop cloths and cleaning up before we leave. If you have a room that needs a complete lighting overhaul or just a single fixture swapped out, give us a call.
Outdoor living is a big part of life in Louisiana, and good exterior lighting makes it safer and more enjoyable. We install landscape lighting, motion-sensor security lights, and general exterior fixtures for porches, driveways, and walkways. If you want to extend your outdoor space or improve visibility around the property, we can run the circuit and mount the fixtures correctly.
Electric vehicles are showing up in more driveways across East Baton Rouge Parish, and a Level 2 home charger makes daily charging practical. A Level 2 charger needs a dedicated 240-volt circuit and, depending on your current setup, may require a panel upgrade to handle the added load. We assess your panel capacity, run the circuit to the garage or driveway, and install the charger outlet. The work is done to code, and the circuit is sized correctly for the charger you have or plan to buy.
Storm season in Louisiana is not a hypothetical. When the power goes out for days at a time, a properly wired standby generator keeps the lights on, the refrigerator running, and the home livable. We handle the electrical side of generator installation: running the wiring, installing the transfer switch, and connecting the unit to your panel. A manual or automatic transfer switch is essential for safe operation, and we size and install it correctly so your generator is ready when you need it.
Louisiana sees more than its share of lightning and summer storms, and a single strike or utility surge can damage electronics, appliances, and the wiring itself. A whole-home surge protection device installs at the panel and catches voltage spikes before they reach your circuits. It is one of the most cost-effective upgrades we offer, and it pairs well with a panel upgrade or new installation.
Seeing flickering lights or a warm outlet? Those are not things to put off. Electrical issues that go unaddressed can become fire hazards, and the only way to know what you are dealing with is to have a licensed electrician take a look. We perform electrical safety inspections for buyers, sellers, landlords, and homeowners who just want peace of mind. We check the panel, the wiring, the outlets, and the grounding, and we document what we find. If there are code violations or outdated components, we explain what needs to be corrected and why. We also install hardwired smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, and we upgrade breakers to arc-fault and ground-fault models where code requires them. No pressure and no gimmicks, just safe, solid wiring.
For homeowners, we handle the full range of projects: kitchen and bathroom remodels, garage wiring, basement circuits, attic work, and additions. We wire new construction and bring older homes up to current standards. Hot tub hookups and pool wiring are jobs we take on regularly, and both require careful attention to grounding and GFCI protection.
For commercial clients, we work with offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and rental properties across the parish. Commercial panel upgrades, new circuit runs, and tenant improvement wiring are all part of what we do. Property managers appreciate that we communicate clearly, show up on time, and handle the work without disruption to tenants or customers.
Getting your power back is easier than you think. Before any work begins, we give you a clear quote based on the actual scope of the job. Electrical pricing varies depending on what needs to be done, how much material is involved, and whether the panel or circuit requires additional work. We explain all of that upfront so there are no surprises on the invoice. Same-day scheduling is available for many jobs, and we offer 24/7 response for electrical emergencies. We're a local crew that answers when you call, and we keep the process straightforward from the first conversation to the final inspection. Pick up the phone and we'll handle the wiring.
We are based in Zachary and serve the surrounding communities throughout East Baton Rouge Parish and the nearby area. Our regular service area includes Baker, Central, Baton Rouge, Greenwell Springs, Pride, Slaughter, Clinton, and Jackson. If you are not sure whether we reach your address, call and ask. We keep our response times short and our scheduling flexible, whether you need someone out today or want to plan a larger project for next week. Same-day and emergency availability means you are not waiting around when something goes wrong.
Titus Electric was founded in 2023, which puts us at three years serving Zachary and East Baton Rouge Parish. We built this business here from the start, and every job we take on is in the community we work and live in.
Yes. Homes across Louisiana's older housing stock often have knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuits, or undersized panels that were never updated to handle modern loads. We see these issues regularly in and around Zachary, and we know how to address them safely and completely.
We work every day from 7:30 AM to 8:30 PM, including weekends, and we keep scheduling flexible for urgent situations that come up outside normal business hours. If something goes wrong in the evening or on a weekend, call (225) 592-3956 and we will tell you what we can do.
If a circuit or installation we completed needs attention, we come back and take care of it. We stand behind the work, and that commitment does not end when we leave the driveway. Call us and we will get it sorted.
We lay drop cloths to protect floors and finishes before we start, and we clean up the work area before we leave. We treat your home or building the way we would want our own treated. The job is not finished until the space looks the way it did when we arrived.
We are based in Zachary and serve the surrounding communities throughout East Baton Rouge Parish. We know the area well, which means shorter travel times and no time spent figuring out where we are going. That local familiarity matters when you need someone there quickly.
We are a family-run electrical business, and the people who answer the phone are the same people who show up at the door. There is no layer of dispatch or scheduling between you and the electrician doing the work. That personal accountability is built into every job we take on.

| Service | What's Included | When You Need It | What to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pool and Spa Wiring | pump and equipment circuits, GFCI protection at required points, outdoor lighting circuits, grounding and bonding to code | homeowners installing or upgrading a pool, spa, or hot tub | Pool and spa electrical work is safety-critical. We follow code requirements for bonding, grounding, and GFCI protection at every required location. |
| Outlet and Switch Installation | GFCI outlet installation, standard outlet replacement, switch upgrades, outlet additions in new locations | homeowners needing more outlets or replacing worn, unsafe devices | GFCI protection is required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas. We install and test every one. |
| Electrical Repairs and Troubleshooting | dead or sparking outlets, breakers that trip repeatedly, burning smells near panels, intermittent power loss | homeowners and tenants with an active electrical problem | We diagnose before we touch anything so you know exactly what is wrong and what the fix will cost. |
| Electrical Panel and Service UpgradesMost Popular | 100-amp to 200-amp upgrades, main panel replacement, subpanel installation, AFCI and GFCI breakers | homes adding major appliances, renovations, or outgrowing current service capacity | Every panel job includes a load calculation so the new equipment is properly sized. Work is performed by licensed electricians and meets current code. |
| Surge and Lightning Protection | whole-home surge protector at the panel, grounding and bonding check, protection for all circuits, post-storm assessment | homeowners with sensitive electronics or properties in high-lightning areas | Louisiana sees frequent lightning strikes. A panel-level surge protector guards every circuit in the building, not just individual outlets. |
| Whole-Home Generator Installation | transfer switch installation, generator hookup and wiring, panel connection, automatic start configuration | homeowners in storm-prone areas who need power to stay on during outages | Hurricane season runs June through November here, and outages can last days. We handle the complete electrical side so your generator comes on automatically when the grid goes down. |

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.
