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.

Lake Arthur 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.
Electrical service in Lake Arthur, LA
Lake Arthur sits in southern Jeff Davis Parish on the Mermentau River where it meets Lake Arthur itself. Drive time from our Lake Charles shop runs forty-five to fifty-five minutes. The town has a strong waterfront character with lakefront and riverfront homes mixed alongside the older town center.
What we work on in Lake Arthur
Waterfront electrical is a steady call. Dock and boathouse work falls under NEC 555: ground-fault protection on dock receptacles, equipotential bonding around the dock structure, marine-rated wire and conduit, real disconnects at the dock end. Electric shock drowning is a preventable risk and we follow the code strictly.
Service upgrades for older town housing come up regularly. A lot of these homes were built on 60A or 100A services with cloth-jacket NM cable. We run a real load calc, size a new 200A service, and update the grounding electrode system per NEC 250.
Generator installs are heavy. Lake Arthur is far enough south that it sits on the front edge of any Gulf storm. Most installs are Generac air-cooled units in the 22-26kW range. We follow NFPA 37 for siting and the Jeff Davis Parish permit process.
Boat lift motors, dock lighting, and weatherproof shore-power receptacles round out the lakefront scope. Salt and freshwater both corrode standard electrical equipment, so we use stainless hardware and rigid conduit in exposed runs.
How to reach us
Call (337) 570-2327 or use the contact page. Jeff Davis Parish handles the permit.
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 Lake Arthur permit.
Lake Arthur is in southern Jefferson Davis Parish on the Mermentau River. Electrical permits are issued by Jefferson Davis Parish Building and Inspection. We confirm jurisdiction, pull the permit, and meet 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.
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.
Great price Brent was very helpful and professional and was able to provide a variety of repair options to choose from. Bailey and Mackenzie were able to complete the repairs promptly and efficiently. Overall, we are very satisfied with the services provided!
The entire experience was fantastic. Dorian and Juliet were very friendly and professional to deal with. The employees who worked at our home the whole time, Mackenzie and Bailey, were knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. All our questions and concerns were addressed. We are very pleased with the service and glad we called Hayes Electrical!
Common questions in Lake Arthur
Do you serve Lake Arthur?
Yes, we cover Lake Arthur in south Jeff Davis Parish. It is the far east-southeast edge of our normal route, but we work it on a project basis. Camp houses, lakefront homes, and primary residences are all on the menu.
How fast can you get to my home in Lake Arthur?
Lake Arthur is about a 50 minute run from our Lake Charles shop. Non-emergency work typically lands in a next-day or two-day window. Emergency arrival is closer to three hours, so we are honest about the distance up front.
My camp house sits in a flood zone. What does that mean for the panel?
For flood-prone addresses, we typically mount the panel and meter base well above base flood elevation, often on the gable wall or on a raised stand per the parish requirement. Conduit runs above grade. After any flooding event, the panel and any submerged devices need replacement.
Do I need a permit for a boathouse circuit in Lake Arthur?
Yes, dock and boathouse wiring needs a permit and inspection. NEC 555 covers marina and boathouse wiring, with GFCI and bonding requirements that are stricter than a normal outdoor circuit. We design to code and walk the inspector through.
After a hurricane, can you come restore power to my Lake Arthur place?
Yes, but the further south you are, the longer the queue runs after a major storm. We prioritize permanent residences over camps but we get to every storm-damaged property we can. Call dispatch as early as you can after the storm passes.
Need a licensed electrician in Lake Arthur?
Drop the project on us. A Hayes Electrical licensed electrician comes out, walks it with you in person, and puts a real plan on paper. The Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee is attached to every install.
