They were really helpful and got to me the next day, a storm came through and my electric box outside got messed up really bad, I only had half of my house working. It was a fire hazard, waiting to happen. I had called many places to come out to look at it and they was putting me off, it was so scary. I was so blessed when I called them the owner came out the same day and said that they could come out the next day to fix it. I thank God this company was so worried about my house catching on fire, so he put me in front of other customers because he was really concerned. I highly Recommend this company Hayes Electric to everyone out there for problems, they were very reasonable, it did not cost me a fortune that I did not have. And by the way to let everyone know they do have a payment plan if you do not have the money at the time of their service. I can't thank them enough for being so concerned about the problem that I had. Again Thank Yall SOOO MUCH AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! TINA SCHIELE

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.
Wiring repair in Jennings most often means correcting a degraded section of NM cable, a buried junction in an attic, or a poorly executed splice from a past remodel. Older farmhouses through the parish often hide spliced wire above the ceiling with no accessible box, which is an NEC 314.29 violation and a common source of intermittent failures, especially after attic heat cycles the splice.
We find the failure with a tone-and-trace tool, an insulation resistance tester for older runs, and a careful visual on any opened section. The fix is to expose the splice, transfer it into a listed accessible box, and re-terminate with Wago lever-nuts or twist-on listed connectors. Where cloth-jacket NM meets modern NM-B, we use a listed splice and label it inside the box.
The parish AHJ does not require a permit for repair of an existing circuit, but if the scope expands to replace the circuit end-to-end we will file one. We always leave a written note inside the panel cover describing what was changed and where the new accessible junction box is located.
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.

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!
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 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 Wiring Repair in Jennings
How do you find a wiring problem inside the walls of my Jennings farmhouse?
We use a tone generator and trace probe to locate the run, then a megohmmeter to find where the insulation has degraded. Attic access in most rural homes lets us reach the splice without much wall damage.
Can you repair just one bad section of Jennings wiring?
Most failures are localized and we repair only the bad section in a listed accessible junction box. If the whole run shows insulation breakdown, we recommend replacing the run and explain why.
Will the repair show in my Jennings ceilings afterward?
We minimize openings and patch where we can. A junction-box cover in the attic is invisible from below; a cover in a finished ceiling is the visible record of the splice and is required to be accessible.
