02 / 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.

When the power goes out at a Jennings address at night or sparks come out of a panel during chores, we run emergency calls to the outer parishes on the same dispatch routing we use in town, with a longer drive on the front end. Most Jennings emergency calls fall into a handful of buckets: storm damage to the overhead drop or weatherhead, a pole-mounted meter that has lost a leg, half the house dead because the service has failed, a burning smell at the panel, a generator that will not transfer, or a well pump that has tripped its breaker and will not reset.

On arrival we isolate the failure before we restore anything. That means killing the main, opening the panel, and verifying with a meter what is live, what is grounded, and what is bonded. We carry common Square D, Eaton, Siemens, and GE breakers on the truck so most single-breaker failures get resolved in one visit. Service-side failures (weatherhead, mast, meter can, pole meter) require coordination with the serving utility (Entergy or Cleco depending on the address) and sometimes a temporary disconnect, which we will sequence on the phone before we drive.

Jennings is a 30 to 60 minute drive from our shop. We will give you an honest ETA when you call, not a fake one. If your situation is genuinely dangerous (active arcing, smoke, smell of melted plastic, downed service conductor on the ground) we will tell you what to switch off and what to stay away from before we arrive.

  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.

04 / WHO TO HIRE

Why hiring a licensed electrician matters.

Here is the no-spin cut on emergency electrical services. 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.

★★★★★ Electrical wiring installation

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.

★★★★★

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.

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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

Common questions for Emergency Electrical Services in Jennings

Do you take after-hours emergency calls in Jennings?

Yes. We run emergency dispatch nights, weekends, and holidays for Jennings addresses. Drive time is longer than in-town calls (30 to 60 minutes) so we give an honest ETA when you call and tell you what to switch off in the meantime.

My well pump tripped the breaker and will not reset - emergency?

If the home is on a well and you have no water, yes - that counts as urgent. The breaker is doing its job, which means the pump motor, pressure switch, or the pump branch circuit has a fault. We diagnose the failure rather than just resetting the breaker.

A tree hit my service drop in Jennings - what do I do?

Stay away from any downed conductor. Call the utility (Entergy or Cleco) to drop the service from the pole, then call us. We repair the mast, weatherhead, and meter base, coordinate the reconnect, and get you back on power.
