Opelousas is a community of about 15,810, roughly 48% owner-occupied homes, a median home built around 1969. In Louisiana, air conditioning runs hard much of the year, and that load plus EV charging is why panel upgrades and dedicated circuits are common requests. Homes built around 1969 can still carry aging wiring, ungrounded outlets, or undersized panels, so panel upgrades, rewiring and GFCI work are common here.
