Electrical service in Gillis, LA.

Gillis is rural Calcasieu Parish north of Moss Bluff — large lots, plenty of acreage, well-and-septic, and Entergy rural feeders that make whole-home generators a standard install rather than a luxury. We're up Highway 171 and the rural roads off it most weeks, and most of our Gillis customers are repeat customers who hand us off to neighbors after watching the install go in next door.

Beyond the heavy generator work, Gillis residents tend to want the kind of electrical that big-lot living demands — sub-panels for shops and barns, dedicated circuits for welders and compressors, hot-tub and RV plugs, EV chargers on properties where the panel is fifty feet from where the charger needs to go. Trenching, conduit, and underground feeder work shows up in Gillis on a monthly basis.

The storm-outage profile in Gillis is similar to Moss Bluff and the rest of the rural Calcasieu corridor — first to lose power, last to get it back. Surge protection (whole-panel SPDs) goes into a lot of Gillis installs to protect equipment from the dirty restoration power that comes online after multi-day outages.

Most-requested services in Gillis

  • Whole-home generator installs
  • Sub-panels for shops, barns, and outbuildings
