Local Knowledge Meets Professional Panel Upgrade Expertise

An outdated electrical panel is a significant safety hazard for your family—and the worst part is, most homeowners aren’t aware that their panel needs an upgrade until it fails. Don’t be caught without power. We ensure your upgrade meets all current National Electrical Code requirements, using our local knowledge to give you the best possible fix for our local climate needs.

Common Panel Problems We Solve

Electrical panels are complex systems that degrade over time, but McNeer Electrical Contracting has the expertise to diagnose and fix these issues permanently. We handle every electrical need your home panel has, from code violations to storm damage recovery. Call (318) 383-0083 to secure your home’s power (and your peace of mind).

Many older Shreveport homes have panels that are completely full, leading to dangerous “double-tapping” where two wires are jammed into one breaker. We resolve this by installing larger panels with ample space for current needs and future expansion, ensuring every circuit is properly secured.

Certain older panel brands, like Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) and Zinsco, are known to have significant failure rates and are often uninsurable. We specialize in replacing these hazardous units with modern equipment that meets CPSC electrical safety standards, giving you peace of mind.

Louisiana storms can damage the exterior meter base and service entrance cable, leading to water intrusion inside your electrical panel. Our team repairs the exterior infrastructure and seals the system against moisture, preventing corrosion and electrical repair emergencies down the road.

Upgrading your electrical systems should be easy and affordable.

Your Trusted Shreveport Electrical Panel Experts

How do I know if I need 100 or 200 amps?

Most modern Shreveport homes require 200-amp service to run AC units, appliances, and electronics simultaneously without overloading. We know every property is different, though—which is why we perform a load calculation to determine exactly what size panel fits your specific lifestyle before we present you with a repair plan.

How long does a panel upgrade take?

A standard panel replacement usually takes one day to complete, minimizing the time your home is without power. McNeer Electrical Contracting coordinates efficiently to get your lights back on safely and quickly.

Will a new panel lower my insurance premiums?

Many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with updated electrical systems because it significantly lowers the risk of fire. We provide the necessary documentation to show your insurer that your system is up to code, saving you a step in otherwise lengthy insurance processes.

Can I just replace a few breakers instead of the whole panel?

While replacing individual breakers works for isolated issues, an aging panel often has bus bar corrosion or obsolete design flaws that require a full replacement. We provide you with an honest assessment of whether a repair or full upgrade is the safer choice.

McNeer Electrical Contracting offers a complete range of services to modernize your home’s power distribution:

  • Complete 100-amp to 200-amp service upgrades
  • Sub-panel installation for additions or workshops
  • Whole-home surge protection integration
  • Dedicated circuits for EV charger installation
  • Fuse box to circuit breaker conversions
  • Code compliance corrections for real estate transactions
  • Repair of weather-damaged meter bases
  • Replacement of obsolete Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels

Our team ensures that every component, from the meter base outside to the switches and outlets inside, functions in perfect harmony with your new panel.

Be on the lookout for these warning signs that you need electrical panel upgrade services:

  • Breakers trip frequently or won’t reset
  • Crackling or sizzling sounds coming from the panel
  • Scorch marks or rust inside the breaker box
  • Lights dim when the air conditioner turns on
  • Warmth radiating from the panel surface

If you notice any of these symptoms, call (318) 383-0083 immediately. Delaying service can lead to permanent damage or dangerous electrical fires.

When it comes to the heart of your electrical system, trust the local experts at McNeer Electrical Contracting. We have been serving the Shreveport and Bossier City community since 1984 with fair pricing and exceptional workmanship.
