KINDER
Kinder service from Hayes Electrical. Call (337) 570-2327.
Hayes Electrical handles electrical panel upgrade for homes and businesses in Kinder 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.
Panel upgrade in Kinder most often takes a 60A or 100A service from the 1960s and 1970s up to a modern 200A panel. Rural homes were built when a well pump, lights, and a window AC were the whole load. Adding a heat pump, an EV charger, a kitchen with a 50A range, or feeders to a shop building pushes them well past their design.
A typical Kinder 200A upgrade replaces the meter base, mast, service-entrance conductors, panel, and grounding electrode system. We use Square D QO or Homeline Plug-on Neutral panels (200A main, 40-space minimum) so AFCI and GFCI breakers seat correctly, and we install two NEC 250.53 driven ground rods six feet apart bonded with #6 AWG copper. The utility disconnect ticket is coordinated by us (Entergy for Jennings, Welsh, Lake Arthur; Cleco for Kinder), the parish AHJ inspection is scheduled by us, and we plan the outage so the well pump and refrigerator come back the same day.
Permits are filed at the Jeff Davis Parish or Allen Parish Office of Inspections before the work begins. We do not ask homeowners to pull permits in their own name on electrical work.
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. 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 electrical panel upgrade. 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.

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!
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.
My experience with Hayse Electrical was a very possitive one. At my first meeting with Dorian and I explaining my situation with my problem I was having, he explained what the company was going to do in very precise detail, was able to quote me a price right away and set up an appointment in the meeting. On the day of my appointment McKenzie and Hayden called me ahead of time to say they were on their way and arrived when said time. They both worked continually all day til all the work was done. Both men were very nice and worked well together and alone. I would recommend Hayes Electrical, Dorian, Mckenzie and Hayden and I would use this company again.
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.
If you have a heat pump, electric water heater, EV charger, a shop building, or plan to add any of them, yes. A 100A service can sometimes work with careful load calculations but rarely leaves room for what is coming.
Typically six to eight hours, scheduled in a single day. We plan the outage so the well pump and refrigerator come back as early as possible, ideally by mid-afternoon.
Yes. We pull the permit at the Jeff Davis Parish or Allen Parish Office of Inspections, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector on site. The permit fee is itemized so you see what the parish charged.
