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.
Chennault repair calls cover the usual catalogue of failures in older urban housing: dead outlets, switches that no longer click cleanly, flickering lights, GFCIs that will not reset, a circuit that trips every time the microwave runs, ceiling fans that buzz or wobble, and the occasional dead leg in half the house. Because so much of the in-city stock was wired across multiple decades, the same address often holds three or four wiring eras layered on top of each other.
We troubleshoot before we replace. That means voltage and continuity checks at the device, a load test at the panel, and a look at how the circuit is split before we touch a wire. Common findings: backstabbed outlets that have lost tension, aluminum branch wiring 1965 to 1973 with overheating splices, undersized neutrals where a circuit was extended without re-pulling home runs, and shared neutrals on circuits that were never wired as multi-wire branch circuits. We use COPALUM or AlumiConn connectors when aluminum is in play and we re-pull home runs when the existing one is past saving.
For Chennault addresses the typical repair call is a one or two visit job, depending on parts. We carry standard residential breakers, devices, and box materials on the truck. If a job turns into something larger (a full rewire of a kitchen circuit, a panel that should be replaced rather than patched) we will tell you on site and write a quote you can review.
The Chennault area sits inside the City of Lake Charles limits near the airport and industrial corridor, so electrical permits are issued by the City of Lake Charles Building and Permit Division. We pull the permit and coordinate inspections. Permit work runs under LA Lic #73821. You do not touch the paperwork.
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.
Here is the no-spin cut on electrical repairs. Same answer we would give a friend in Westlake or Carlyss, whether or not we end up winning the job.
Times are typical, not guaranteed. Traffic, weather, and parts on hand can shift them. We will tell you a real window when you call.

Hayes Electrical, LLC treat you like family. When I called I had an immediate need and they made me a priority. They were very friendly and professional and communicated well. There was no guessing. Their office staff and the person who answers the phone was on top of it! If you're looking for great professional service then you need to call Hayes Electrical.
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.
We turned to the company for help to find out the reason why our generator stopped working, fix the problem and start it. We were served by Dorian, a very nice young man, a good specialist and a professional in his field. Everything went well, Dorian did diagnostics, invited a mechanic and our generator works. We recommend this company if you have problems with the generator.
The sweetest people ever, they were very nice and you know they know what they are talking about when it comes to their work. I was only able to do the first half of the work. We had some issues with ENTERGY but they were able to help resolve the issues in a timely manner. Thank you!
Most often a backstabbed splice has lost tension, a GFCI upstream has tripped, or a loose wire nut has failed in a junction box. We find the actual failure point rather than just replacing the visible outlet.
No. A repeatedly tripping breaker is almost always doing its job. We find the fault first (short, ground fault, overload, failed appliance) and only replace the breaker if testing shows the breaker itself is bad.
Yes. Aluminum branch wiring from 1965 to 1973 is repairable using COPALUM crimps or AlumiConn purple-wire-nut connectors at every device and splice. We follow CPSC and NEC guidance for the remediation.
