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 We removed outdated fluorescent lighting, and these were replaced with current LED canned lighting, expanded the circuit board and repaired the drywall hole that the old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.

From our Lake Charles shop.

Electrical service in Kinder, LA
Kinder sits in Allen Parish, north of Lake Charles along Highway 165. Drive time from our shop runs forty to fifty minutes depending on the address. The town has a small residential center, with the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana reservation and gaming property nearby. The surrounding stretch is rural acreage with timber and pasture. Allen Parish handles its own electrical permits.
What we work on in Kinder
Service upgrades for older town and rural housing are the steady call. Many homes were built on 60A or 100A services that need replacement before any modern addition (heat pump, generator, EV charger). We run a real load calc, size a new 200A service, and update the grounding electrode system per NEC 250.
Generator installs are heavy. Kinder is rural enough that storm-related outages can stretch for days. Most installs are Generac air-cooled units in the 22-26kW range. We pull the Allen Parish permit and coordinate the utility cut-in. Cleco serves most Allen Parish addresses; Entergy serves some.
Outbuilding feeders, well-pump circuits, RV pad receptacles, and pole-mounted yard lights are the typical rural scope. We size for voltage drop on long runs and use direct-burial conductors in conduit for any underground work.
Commercial work for businesses around the gaming property and downtown is a steady part of our scope. Sign circuits, panelboard maintenance per NFPA 70B, parking lot pole light repair, and tenant fit-outs.
How to reach us
Call (337) 570-2327 or use the contact page. Allen Parish handles the permit. Cleco or Entergy depending on the address.
Times are typical, not guaranteed. Traffic, weather, and parts on hand can shift them. We will tell you a real window when you call.
Who issues your Kinder permit.
Kinder is in Allen Parish, north of Calcasieu Parish. Electrical permits are issued through Allen Parish Permits. We confirm the parish requirements before we pull and coordinate the inspector.
We pull the permit under our Louisiana contractor license, coordinate the rough and final inspections, and walk the inspector through the work so you do not have to.
What Southwest Louisiana says about our work
Real reviews from real customers across Lake Charles, Sulphur, Moss Bluff, and the surrounding parishes.
Hayden and Mackenize did an outstanding job. Gave my wife and I step by step instructions on how to operate the generator as well as went over labeling of our breaker box. Guys were very knowledgeable and patience when we ask questions. I highly recommend Hayes Electrical for any electrical work..
Hayes Electric was recommended to us by a family member. Since we were moving from out of state, we needed a level 2 charger installed at our new home. I first spoke with Juliet, who scheduled an appointment for an estimate. A few days later, Chris came out, assessed the project, and provided a clear estimate. We decided to hire Hayes Electric to direct wire our charger to the electrical panel. On installation day, McKenzie and Bailey called ahead to let me know when they would arrive, which I really appreciated. They were both very professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all my questions before getting started. The installation went smoothly, and we're very happy with the quality of their work. The pricing was upfront, fair, and within our budget. We will definitely use Hayes Electric again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy electricians.
I've had the privilege of getting to know Juliet and Dorian, and what stands out most is how much they care about people. They are genuine, kind, and passionate about doing things the right way qualities that shine through in the way they serve their customers and lead their company. In an industry where trust matters, Juliet and Dorian embody integrity, authenticity, and heart. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for electricians who treat their customers like family.
Common questions in Kinder
Do you serve Kinder?
Yes, we cover Kinder in Allen Parish, including the area near the Coushatta lands. It is our northern reach and we work it on a project basis. Cleco serves much of this area for utility, not Entergy, so we coordinate accordingly.
How fast can you get to my home in Kinder?
Kinder is about a 40 minute run from our Lake Charles shop up US-165. Non-emergency work usually lands in a next-day window. Emergency arrival is closer to two and a half hours.
Do I need a permit for a generator install in Kinder?
Yes, a permanent standby generator needs an Allen Parish permit and inspection. NEC 702 covers the transfer switch and load calc per 220. We design the system, pull the permit, and tie in the gas or propane line as needed.
My Kinder home is on Cleco service, not Entergy. Does that change anything?
Not for the wiring inside your house, but it changes who we coordinate with for the service disconnect when we upgrade the panel or replace the mast. We work with both utilities and know the local rules.
Can you trench a feeder to a barn or shop in Kinder?
Yes, we run direct-burial or PVC-conduit feeders to detached structures per NEC 300.5 burial depth and 250.32 grounding. Working clearance at the sub-panel per 110.26 needs 30 inches wide and 36 inches deep, so we plan the location with you.
