Service
Electrical
Licensed commercial electrical service across Belle Chasse and Greater New Orleans — service work, project work, code-driven upgrades, and the kind of cross-trade coordination that only happens when your electrician is on the same crew as your HVAC contractor.
What we do
Commercial electrical, from the panel to the receptacle.
Service work and project work for facilities that need an electrical contractor who shows up when promised and finishes what they start.

Switchgear & motor control
Switchgear service and replacement, motor control centers, VFDs and soft starters, equipment disconnects, code-required arc-flash labeling.
Generators & backup power
Standby generator installation, automatic transfer switches, load-bank testing, annual exercise and load-bank verification, fuel system service.
EV charging
Level 2 and DC fast charging installation — load calcs, panel and feeder sizing, conduit runs, network commissioning, utility coordination.
Code & compliance
NEC code-driven upgrades, AHJ permit and inspection coordination, infrared scanning, arc-flash studies, GFCI/AFCI retrofits.
Why Optimum Electrical
One contractor. HVAC, refrigeration, electrical.
Most commercial facilities juggle separate contractors for the work that should be one job: the HVAC company and the electrical company. They blame each other when something doesn't work; you pay for two trips.
Optimum runs electrical in-house alongside HVAC and refrigeration. The crew installing your new RTU is the same crew running the disconnect and the power feed. One responsible party, one schedule, one invoice.
- Licensed electricians on staff
- Same crew as HVAC + refrigeration — no inter-trade handoff
- Permit and inspection coordination across Plaquemines, Orleans, Jefferson, and St. Bernard parishes
- On-call rotation for after-hours service
- Project sizes from a single panel upgrade to a building-wide retrofit
