Hayes Electrical is the most professional and friendly electrical service in the Lake Charles area! After we were having issues with our Generac and wanted to be prepared for the hurricane season, Hayes Electrical was quick to diagnose and repair the issue! Mr. Dorian was very polite and knowledgeable! When he came out to make the repair he kept us in the loop about exactly what he was doing and made sure we understood how to operate the Generac! Would definitely recommend Hayes Electrical to everyone!

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.
Power restoration calls in Jennings cluster around storm aftermath and aged pole-mounted services. Older farmhouses through the parish were built with overhead drops to a meter on a separate yard pole, and decades of wind have loosened guy attachments, bent masts, and pulled weatherheads. After named storms we run service-entrance work in Jennings for weeks.
We arrive with insulated tools, a hot-stick, and the common service-entrance materials: 2/0 and 4/0 SER, 1-1/4 in and 2 in rigid mast, Milbank meter sockets in 100A and 200A, NEC 250.66 grounding electrode conductors, and NEC 250.53 ground rods. In Jeff Davis Parish (Jennings, Welsh, Lake Arthur) the utility is Entergy; in Kinder you are usually on Cleco. We pull the correct utility disconnect ticket, replace the failed assembly, request the parish AHJ inspection, and stand by for the reconnect.
Because of drive time we plan rural restoration in a half-day or full-day block rather than a short visit. That way we can finish the disconnect, replace the equipment, get the inspector out, and meet the utility crew without a second trip.
What we look at for this job
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.

What Southwest Louisiana says about our work
Real reviews from real customers across Lake Charles, Sulphur, Moss Bluff, and the surrounding parishes.
My parents have an older home and was having an issue with circuits overloading. We contacted Hayes after seeing they had rave reviews. They sent someone right over, diagnosed the issue and gave us a few pricing package options. We selected the pricing package that was most affordable for us and scheduled their appointment to come back and do the work. On the day scheduled, two gentlemen arrived promptly, did a walk through assessment and helped us understand everything they would be doing and got right to work! They were professional, efficient and very thorough. My parents circuits were rerouted and are working better than ever!
Great service! Brent was able to diagnose the problem and complete the repair quickly and efficiently! He was able to solve a problem that my contractor's electricians were unable to solve! He was very courteous and professional. Highly recommend Hayes Electrical!! Great experience from first call to the end!
My thanks to Mackenzie and his crew for the work they did at my house. Mackenzie was very professional and made sure to answer all my questions regarding the work being done. I can honestly say I feel safer with the finished job. Not only upgrading my panel box, but adding more lighting to my home inside and out.
Common questions for Electrical Power Restoration in Jennings
My Jennings neighbors have power but my house is dark. What now?
That almost always means the failure is on your customer-owned equipment past the weatherhead. The utility will not touch the mast or meter base. Call us and we will get the assembly back into shape and the inspector out for the sign-off.
Can you handle both Entergy and Cleco coordination at my Jennings home?
Yes. We pull whichever utility ticket applies. Jennings, Welsh, and Lake Arthur are Entergy; Kinder is mostly Cleco. We know the right contacts at both and have done service restorations across both service territories.
Why does the parish inspector need to look at my Jennings restoration before the utility turns it back on?
A pulled meter or replaced mast counts as a new service connection under NEC 230. The parish Office of Inspections has to sign off before the utility will dispatch a reconnect crew. We schedule both visits the same day when the calendar allows.
