Mackenzie and Hayden completed my job effectively and efficiently. They are very professional, polite and well mannered. Both were able to check on making sure the job was done correctly, while also making sure other things were working properly as well. I highly recommend this company and workers. Thanks Darius Clayton for your recommendation.

Emergency Electrical Services in Carlyss
Carlyss service from Hayes Electrical. Same-day response on most calls. Call (337) 570-2327.
Hayes Electrical handles emergency electrical services for homes and businesses in Carlyss, and the surrounding Southwest Louisiana area. Licensed, bonded, insured, with our Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee on every job.
What this work usually runs.
Carlyss 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.
When power drops at a Carlyss address overnight or sparks come out of a panel during a thunderstorm, we run emergency calls out to the perimeter cities on the same dispatch we use for in-town Lake Charles work. Common Carlyss emergency scenarios: half the house dead after a storm-related service hit, a tripped main that will not reset, a well pump that quit and now there is no water, a generator that failed during an outage, or a burning smell at the panel.
On arrival we isolate the failure before restoring anything. We kill the main, open the panel, and verify with a meter what is live, grounded, and bonded. We carry common Square D, Eaton, Siemens, and GE breakers on the truck so single-breaker failures resolve in one visit. Service-side failures (weatherhead, mast, meter base) get coordinated with Entergy and sometimes a temporary disconnect, which we sequence on the phone before we drive.
The Carlyss drive adds 20 to 30 minutes to an in-town ETA, and we will tell you that honestly when you call. We will also tell you what to switch off in the meantime if your situation is genuinely dangerous (active arcing, smoke, melted plastic smell). We run emergency dispatch nights, weekends, and holidays for Carlyss addresses.
What we look at for this job

Carlyss is unincorporated Calcasieu Parish, so electrical permits are issued by the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury Building Division. We pull the permit and coordinate the parish inspector for rough and final. Permit work runs under LA Lic #73821. You do not touch the paperwork.

What Southwest Louisiana says about our work
Real reviews from real customers across Lake Charles, Sulphur, Moss Bluff, and the surrounding parishes.
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.
They were really helpful and got to me the next day, a storm came through and my electric box outside got messed up really bad, I only had half of my house working. It was a fire hazard, waiting to happen. I had called many places to come out to look at it and they was putting me off, it was so scary. I was so blessed when I called them the owner came out the same day and said that they could come out the next day to fix it. I thank God this company was so worried about my house catching on fire, so he put me in front of other customers because he was really concerned. I highly Recommend this company Hayes Electric to everyone out there for problems, they were very reasonable, it did not cost me a fortune that I did not have. And by the way to let everyone know they do have a payment plan if you do not have the money at the time of their service. I can't thank them enough for being so concerned about the problem that I had. Again Thank Yall SOOO MUCH AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! TINA SCHIELE
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had Hayes Electric install an EV wall charger for my new electric vehicle and couldn't be happier. The whole process was clean, fast, and professional. Communication was excellent every step of the way, which really gave me peace of mind. Special thanks to Mackenzie McGuane for the outstanding work - everything was done right the first time and looks great. Highly recommend Hayes Electric if you're looking for quality and reliability!
Common questions for Emergency Electrical Services in Carlyss
Do you take after-hours emergency calls in Carlyss?
Yes. We run emergency dispatch nights, weekends, and holidays for Carlyss addresses. Add 20 to 30 minutes to a Lake Charles ETA for the drive. We will give you an honest arrival time and a likely diagnosis on the phone.
My well pump quit at my Carlyss place and we have no water - is that an emergency?
For most households, yes, especially livestock or larger families. Common causes are a tripped breaker, a failed pressure switch, a bad starter capacitor on the motor, or a damaged feed. We diagnose on site and most failures get fixed in one visit.
My generator did not start when the power went out - what do I do?
Switch the unit to off so it does not keep cycling and damage components. Most failures are battery, fuel pressure (especially propane regulator issues), or an ATS that lost a control signal. We diagnose on site and restock parts that commonly fail on these units.
