CHENNAULT
Chennault service from Hayes Electrical. Same-day response on most calls. Call (337) 570-2327.
Hayes Electrical handles outlets, switches, and fixtures 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.
Outlet, switch, and fixture work is a steady-state in older Chennault homes. Devices wear out, two-prong receptacles need to become grounded three-prong, GFCI protection has to be added in kitchens and baths, dimmers need to be matched to LED loads, and ceiling fan boxes need to be upgraded to support the weight and motion of a fan rather than a static light.
We replace devices in the same workflow each time: kill the circuit, verify dead with a meter, inspect the box for splice condition, replace the device with one rated for the application (tamper-resistant per NEC 406.4 where required, weather-resistant for exterior), and torque the terminals to spec rather than back-stabbing. Ungrounded two-prong receptacles get either a GFCI replacement with a “no equipment ground” label per NEC 406.4(D)(2) or, where we are running new home runs, a proper grounded receptacle. Fan boxes get verified against NEC 314 for support and weight.
For Chennault addresses we batch device work efficiently. A whole-home device refresh (every outlet and switch in a 1500 to 2500 square foot home) is typically a one or two day job. Single-device replacements get folded into other service calls when scheduling works out.
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 outlets, switches, and fixtures. 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.

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.
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.
Two options. NEC 406.4(D)(2) allows GFCI replacement with a "no equipment ground" label, which gives shock protection without a true ground. The better option is to re-pull the home run with a grounding conductor so the receptacles are properly grounded.
Almost always a mismatch between the dimmer and the LED driver. LEDs need a dimmer rated for low-wattage LED loads, and the lamp brand matters. We match the dimmer to the load and verify it across the dimming range.
Usually no. Standard 1/2 inch deep fixture boxes are not rated for the dynamic load of a ceiling fan. NEC 314 requires a fan-listed box. We replace the box during fan installation when the existing one is not rated.
