Outlet and Switch Installation in Chennault

Chennault 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.
Outlet and switch installation in Chennault covers new device locations, like-for-like replacement, and the addition of USB-A/USB-C combo outlets that older homes were never designed for. The constraint in historic-district homes is box depth: original 1-1/2 in deep boxes do not meet NEC 314 fill for modern decora-style devices, especially USB combos.
We replace shallow boxes with listed deep-set boxes (typically 21 to 25 cubic inches for a single-gang) so the device fits without crowding the conductors. New devices are Leviton, Eaton, or Hubbell tamper-resistant (NEC 406.12) where required, and weather-resistant (NEC 406.9) on exterior locations. Switches are paired with the load type: standard mechanical for incandescent, electronic for LED loads under listed minimum thresholds.
A like-for-like device swap does not require a permit at the Lake Charles AHJ. New circuits or new outlet locations do, and we file the permit.
What we look at for this job
Permits and inspections
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.
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.

Found Hayes Electrical LLC on Angi's List last September to install a home generator. From the initial phone call and every phone call in between these folks are the best. They handled everything. So kind, helpful and just awesome people. Their workers are very professional, knows their job, all wore work uniforms. We may have had a hiccup once (not their fault) didn't matter they were on top of it thru the entire install. It literally was the easiest install of anything in my house ever!! If I ever need anything I will call Hayes Electrical and no one else. I can't say enough good about these folks. And they are easy to get attached to... their good people🙏 I have to thank Dorian and McKenzie you guys are great!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!
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!
Common questions for Outlet and Switch Installation in Chennault
Why will not a USB outlet fit in my old Chennault wall box?
USB combo outlets are deeper than a standard receptacle. The original shallow box does not have enough cubic-inch volume per NEC 314 to accept it safely, so we replace the box first.
Can you install a new outlet behind my Chennault living room TV?
Yes. We either extend from a nearby device on the same circuit or run a fresh home-run if load or accessibility requires it. NEC 800 low-voltage drop included if you need HDMI or coax in the same wall.
Do all the outlets in my Chennault home need to be tamper-resistant?
In a dwelling unit, yes. NEC 406.12 requires tamper-resistant receptacles on essentially every readily-accessible receptacle in a home.
