01 / SERVICE AREA

Calcasieu River service area.

From our Lake Charles shop.

Trucks dispatch out of 803 W Bayou Pines Dr, Ste D, Lake Charles, LA 70601. Most days a crew is already inside Calcasieu Parish on another job, so the drive is short. For after-hours calls we roll one out from the shop.

New wiring installation in Calcasieu River covers everything from a new dedicated dock-feeder circuit to a full addition on a stilted lakeside camp. The work tends to involve more exterior conduit and more PVC than a comparable Lake Charles job because most runs end up outside the conditioned envelope at some point.

We install with NM-B 14/2 and 12/2 indoors, switching to THHN/THWN in UV-stable PVC conduit (Schedule 40 above grade, Schedule 80 at exposed transitions) wherever the run leaves a conditioned space. Boxes are sized by NEC 314 fill, and outdoor boxes are Bell or Carlon NEMA 4X with 316 stainless screws. Circuits feeding wet areas, docks, or pool equipment get NEC 210.8 and NEC 555 or NEC 680 protection at the breaker. Dedicated feeders to elevated boathouses run as sub-panels with their own NEC 250.32 grounding system.

Permits are filed at Cameron Parish. The inspector wants to see boxes and rough wiring before drywall or sheathing closes, so we coordinate the rough between framing and insulation.

  Permits

Permits and inspections

Calcasieu River area addresses inside the City of Lake Charles limits get electrical permits from the City of Lake Charles Building and Permit Division. We confirm jurisdiction at the address and pull the appropriate permit. Permit work runs under LA Lic #73821. You do not touch the paperwork.

  Warranty

What's covered

Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee on every install. If our work fails because of how we put it in, we come back and fix it at no charge. Documented in writing at handoff and stays with the home.

03 / WHO TO HIRE

Why hiring a licensed electrician matters.

Here is the no-spin cut on electrical wiring installation. Same answer we would give a friend in Westlake or Carlyss, whether or not we end up winning the job.

Hayes Electrical

A licensed electrician

LA-licensed master electrician walks every call. Family-owned, owner-led, based in Lake Charles.
Permits pulled under LA Lic #73821 and inspections coordinated with the Calcasieu, Jeff Davis, Allen, or Cameron Parish AHJ when the work calls for it.
Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee in writing. If our work fails, we come back and fix it. Stays with the home.
Insured and carrying workers' comp on every truck that rolls.
Quote on paper before we cut the first wire. The signed number is the number you pay.
A handyman

Unlicensed for electrical

No LA state electrical license. Can swap a fixture, cannot legally touch a panel, a service entrance, or a rewire.
No permits. When the parish or city audits the work later, it does not pass.
No real warranty. "Call me if it breaks" falls apart the day you actually need it.
If unlicensed work starts a fire, your homeowner policy can flat-out deny the claim.
Cash discount sometimes shows up on the invoice. So does the next problem.
DIY

Doing it yourself

Cheap right up until something goes sideways. Most jobs need a load calc, NEC compliance, and a permit.
A failed inspection sends you back to redo it. Selling the house later, the buyer's inspector flags it the same way.
No warranty. The replacement is on you.
Hot wiring is no joke. Most fatal home electrical accidents in this country are DIY.
If you genuinely know what you are doing, fine. If you do not, call us first.

★★★★★ Electrical panel replacement or upgrading, Service not listed

Great price | $1 - 200 Mr. Dorian Hayes is extremely professional and very accommodating. Hayes Electrical takes care of the maintenance on my 22kW Guardian Generac generator often times I am unable to be present at the appointment and he would be communicate very clearly about arrival work done and departure. All around lovely company that does excellent work!

★★★★★

They added my 50amp generator receptacle box outside my house, they also added an interlock and the generator breaker. I also had them add a 2nd 50amp receptacle, just below my panel, for a future vehicle lift and had them drop a CAT6 behind my tv, so I can play Xbox online without lagging. I would hire them again without thinking twice. They're extremely professional and reasonably priced.

★★★★★ Electric car charger installation

Hayes Electric was recommended to us by a family member. Since we were moving from out of state, we needed a level 2 charger installed at our new home. I first spoke with Juliet, who scheduled an appointment for an estimate. A few days later, Chris came out, assessed the project, and provided a clear estimate. We decided to hire Hayes Electric to direct wire our charger to the electrical panel. On installation day, McKenzie and Bailey called ahead to let me know when they would arrive, which I really appreciated. They were both very professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all my questions before getting started. The installation went smoothly, and we're very happy with the quality of their work. The pricing was upfront, fair, and within our budget. We will definitely use Hayes Electric again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy electricians.

Ben and Trish Roussel 10 months ago
★★★★★

A group of men and woman that are talented and focused. All licensed. Their customer service is excellent. They were able to upgrade my electrical system for a house built in the 1970s. We removed outdated fluorescent lighting, and these were replaced with current LED canned lighting, expanded the circuit board and repaired the drywall hole that the old fluorescence left in the ceiling. When we asked for options, they gave us multiple options from which we discussed pros and cons of each. Lastly, they are honest, trustworthy, and reliable.

Common questions for Electrical Wiring Installation in Calcasieu River

Can you add a new circuit to my Calcasieu River camp without rewiring the whole place?

Yes. A new dedicated circuit runs from the panel as a fresh home-run and does not touch the existing wiring. Most additions and dock feeders can be served by one or two new circuits.

What wire size do you use for a dock-feeder run at my Calcasieu River property?

Depends on the slip load and the run distance. A typical 50A pedestal feeder runs as #6 copper THHN/THWN in PVC, sized for both ampacity and voltage drop per NEC 220 and NEC 555.

Will the Cameron Parish inspector need to come out twice for Calcasieu River new wiring?

Usually yes: once for the rough (boxes and wire visible) and once for the finish (devices, trim, panel). Inspection slots are scarcer here than in town so we book both early.
