Lewis Electrical Services - Forrest County
Electrician in Petal, MS
Petal sits directly across the Leaf River from Hattiesburg and has its own distinct feel - more residential, more family-oriented, and built out mostly in the decades since people started moving across the river for the schools. Drive the neighborhoods and you see the timeline: 1970s and 1980s brick ranches on established streets, 1990s and 2000s subdivisions behind them, and newer homes filling lots at the edges of town. A lot of those older houses are now on their second or third owner and getting kitchens opened up, baths redone and garages converted. That remodel work is most of what Chris gets called for in Petal.
Petal's ranch-era houses were wired for a much smaller electrical load than they carry now. The common jobs are panel upgrades where there are no spaces left, dedicated circuits for remodeled kitchens and added appliances, GFCI and AFCI updates, retrofit recessed cans in ceilings that only ever had one fixture, and ceiling fans. Newer homes call for EV charger circuits, standby generators and whole-home surge protection at the panel. What Chris does in Petal: panel and service upgrades, kitchen and bath remodel circuits, retrofit recessed can lighting and ceiling fans, ev charger installation, whole-home surge protection, electrical troubleshooting and repair.
