CHENNAULT
Chennault service from Hayes Electrical. Same-day response on most calls. Call (337) 570-2327.
Hayes Electrical handles electrical services for homes and businesses in Chennault, and the surrounding Southwest Louisiana area. Licensed, bonded, insured, with our Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee on every job.
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 sits inside the older core of Lake Charles, where housing stock ranges from 1900s shotgun cottages and Charpentier-era cypress builds to mid-century brick ranches with original 60A or 100A service. Our work here covers the full residential and light-commercial range: panel upgrades, troubleshooting flickering or dead circuits, replacing outlets that no longer hold a plug, adding circuits for window units or new appliances, and full rewires when knob-and-tube or early Romex is past its service life.
Because so much of the in-city stock predates the 1960s, we plan every job assuming we will find at least one surprise behind the wall: cloth-insulated conductors, ungrounded two-prong outlets, splices buried outside boxes, or a panel brand on the recall list. We pull a Lake Charles Permits Office permit when the scope requires one, ground per NEC 250 with either two driven rods or a Ufer where the slab exposes rebar, and label the panel directory so the next tradesperson is not guessing.
Most Chennault addresses are inside a 15 minute drive of our shop, so we schedule small jobs same week and reserve mornings for diagnostic and repair calls when older homeowners are home. For larger scopes (rewires, service upgrades, remodels) we walk the property first, write a flat quote, and coordinate the Entergy disconnect on the day of cutover.
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 services. 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.

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!
My experience with Hayse Electrical was a very possitive one. At my first meeting with Dorian and I explaining my situation with my problem I was having, he explained what the company was going to do in very precise detail, was able to quote me a price right away and set up an appointment in the meeting. On the day of my appointment McKenzie and Hayden called me ahead of time to say they were on their way and arrived when said time. They both worked continually all day til all the work was done. Both men were very nice and worked well together and alone. I would recommend Hayes Electrical, Dorian, Mckenzie and Hayden and I would use this company again.
Great price Brent, Mackenzie and Bailey worked diligently each and every day till they finished. It was hot as there was no power in the trailer, but they never complained. Anytime I asked a question they had an answer. I highly recommend Hayes Electric. His people are the best!!!
I've had the privilege of getting to know Juliet and Dorian, and what stands out most is how much they care about people. They are genuine, kind, and passionate about doing things the right way qualities that shine through in the way they serve their customers and lead their company. In an industry where trust matters, Juliet and Dorian embody integrity, authenticity, and heart. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for electricians who treat their customers like family.
Yes. A large share of our Chennault work is on pre-1970 housing with 60A or 100A panels, two-wire branch circuits, and original cloth-insulated conductors. We assess what is there before we touch it and plan upgrades in stages when a full rewire is not in the budget.
Service changes, panel replacements, new circuits, and most remodel rough-ins require a permit through the Lake Charles Permits Office. Like-for-like repairs (replacing a broken switch, an outlet, or a fixture in the same box) generally do not. We pull every permit our scope requires.
Most of Chennault is inside a 15 minute drive of our shop. Small diagnostic and repair calls usually get scheduled the same week. Emergency dispatch is faster - call us and we will give you an honest ETA on the phone.
