01 / SERVICE AREA

Jennings 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.

Electrical panel repair in Jennings usually falls into three buckets: a burned or loose lug (often from a pump or AC circuit that pulled high current over years), a damaged dead-front, or a corroded interior from a long-ago roof or service-entrance leak. We open the panel, photograph the bus and lugs, and decide whether the panel can be repaired in place or has to be replaced.

Lug repair gets re-terminated to manufacturer torque (typically 35 to 50 in-lb for branch lugs, 250 to 375 in-lb for main lugs in the 100A to 200A range), often with a Polaris insulated connector if the conductor has been cut back. Dead-front replacement uses panel-matched listed parts only; off-brand dead-fronts compromise the panel listing and we will not install them. Corrosion behind the bus is not field-repairable to a safe standard, and the honest answer is usually full replacement.

The parish AHJ does not require a permit for like-for-like internal panel repair, but any work that changes the service rating, main breaker size, or feeder routing requires one. We file it before the work starts.

  Permits

Permits and inspections

Jennings is the parish seat of Jefferson Davis Parish. Electrical permits inside the city limits typically go through City of Jennings permitting, with parish-level oversight from Jefferson Davis Parish Building and Inspection for outlying addresses. We confirm jurisdiction before we pull. Permit work runs under LA Lic #73821. You do not touch the paperwork.

  Warranty

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.

03 / WHO TO HIRE

Why hiring a licensed electrician matters.

Here is the no-spin cut on electrical panel repair. Same answer we would give a friend in Westlake or Carlyss, whether or not we end up winning the job.

Hayes Electrical

A licensed electrician

LA-licensed master electrician walks every call. Family-owned, owner-led, based in Lake Charles.
Permits pulled under LA Lic #73821 and inspections coordinated with the Calcasieu, Jeff Davis, Allen, or Cameron Parish AHJ when the work calls for it.
Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee in writing. If our work fails, we come back and fix it. Stays with the home.
Insured and carrying workers' comp on every truck that rolls.
Quote on paper before we cut the first wire. The signed number is the number you pay.
A handyman

Unlicensed for electrical

No LA state electrical license. Can swap a fixture, cannot legally touch a panel, a service entrance, or a rewire.
No permits. When the parish or city audits the work later, it does not pass.
No real warranty. "Call me if it breaks" falls apart the day you actually need it.
If unlicensed work starts a fire, your homeowner policy can flat-out deny the claim.
Cash discount sometimes shows up on the invoice. So does the next problem.
DIY

Doing it yourself

Cheap right up until something goes sideways. Most jobs need a load calc, NEC compliance, and a permit.
A failed inspection sends you back to redo it. Selling the house later, the buyer's inspector flags it the same way.
No warranty. The replacement is on you.
Hot wiring is no joke. Most fatal home electrical accidents in this country are DIY.
If you genuinely know what you are doing, fine. If you do not, call us first.

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.

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.

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!!

Hayes Electrical has earned my business in the future. They saved me hundreds of dollars by referring me to Entergy first after hearing what my electrical issues were. They could have made easy money on a service call, and then refer me to Entergy. Instead, they did the right thing and had me contact Entergy first. 5 stars Nice to see a company that didn't take advantage of a customer. ❤️1

Common questions for Electrical Panel Repair in Jennings

Can my Jennings panel be repaired or does it need to be replaced?

A single burned lug or damaged dead-front can usually be repaired. Bus damage, internal corrosion, or an obsolete brand pushes us toward replacement, and we will say so plainly so you can plan.

Why does my Jennings panel feel warm to the touch?

A warm panel cover is usually loose lugs or an overloaded circuit, sometimes a pump circuit running near capacity. We use infrared and a clamp meter to find the source before deciding on repair vs. replacement.

Do you need to shut off my whole Jennings home to repair a panel lug?

Yes, for the duration of the lug re-termination. We coordinate the utility disconnect (Entergy for Jeff Davis Parish, Cleco for Kinder) if the main lugs need attention and plan a tight window so the well pump comes back fast.
