JENNINGS
Jennings service from Hayes Electrical. Call (337) 570-2327.
Hayes Electrical handles light fixture installation for homes and businesses in Jennings and the surrounding Southwest Louisiana area. Licensed, bonded, and backed by our Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee.
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.
Light fixture installation in Jennings ranges from replacing a porch light at a farmhouse to hanging a chandelier in a new build. The challenges in older rural homes are box weight rating, the absence of a ground wire on pre-1960 circuits, and the long distances some yard lights need (driveway sentry lights are often 100+ ft from the meter).
We confirm or install an NEC 314.27 ceiling box rated for the fixture weight (a standard pancake box is rated for 35 lb; a fan-rated box for 50 lb or more depending on listing). For heavy chandeliers over 50 lb per NEC 410.36(B) we add independent support to the joist above the box. On ungrounded farmhouse circuits we install fixtures with a polarized plug and label them “no equipment ground,” or upgrade the run to three-wire with a fresh home-run if access allows. Driveway and pole-mounted lights use NEC 410.10 wet-rated housings and direct-burial conductor sized for the run.
Like-for-like fixture replacement does not require a permit. New circuits to support a new light location do, and we file at the parish AHJ.
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.
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 light fixture installation. 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!
Yes. For fixtures over 35 lb we install a fan-rated box; over 50 lb we add a brace or hang directly to the joist per NEC 410.36(B). We carry the common Westinghouse and Hubbell brace kits on the truck.
Old incandescent dimmers do not pair correctly with LED drivers. We swap the dimmer for a listed Lutron or Leviton LED-compatible unit and the flicker stops.
Yes. We run direct-burial conductor sized for the distance (often 150 to 250 ft), terminate in a listed wet-rated head, and add a photocell so the light comes on at dusk without homeowner intervention.
