My parents have an older home and was having an issue with circuits overloading. We contacted Hayes after seeing they had rave reviews. They sent someone right over, diagnosed the issue and gave us a few pricing package options. We selected the pricing package that was most affordable for us and scheduled their appointment to come back and do the work. On the day scheduled, two gentlemen arrived promptly, did a walk through assessment and helped us understand everything they would be doing and got right to work! They were professional, efficient and very thorough. My parents circuits were rerouted and are working better than ever!

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.
Circuit breaker repair in Lake Arthur most often means diagnosing why a breaker will not reset and whether the breaker, the busbar, or the downstream load is the real problem. Older Square D QO and Eaton BR panels from the 1980s and 1990s hold up well in rural service. Federal Pacific Stab-Lok, Zinsco, and Murray panels we still find in some Lake Arthur farmhouses are a different story.
We start by measuring the actual load on the circuit with a clamp meter, checking the breaker temperature with an infrared spot, and inspecting lug torque on the panel side. Pump circuits get extra attention because a failing submersible motor draws locked-rotor current and damages breakers over time. If the breaker fails to hold a known-good load we replace it with a panel-matched listed unit. We do not field-repair breakers; they are sealed assemblies and the only NEC-compliant fix is replacement per the panel manufacturer.
When the panel itself is the failure (a burned busbar, a cracked stab, or an obsolete brand) we make the home safe and quote a replacement separately, filed with the parish AHJ.

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!
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!
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.
Common questions for Circuit Breaker Repair in Lake Arthur
My Lake Arthur pump breaker keeps tripping. Is the breaker bad?
Sometimes, but more often the pump itself is the problem. Worn submersible bearings or a stuck pressure switch cause repeated locked-rotor current that damages the breaker. We check the load before we replace anything.
Can you repair a breaker rather than replace it in my Lake Arthur panel?
No. Circuit breakers are sealed listed assemblies and field repair is not NEC-compliant. We replace with the same brand and rating to keep the panel listing intact.
Is it safe to keep my Federal Pacific panel in my Lake Arthur farmhouse?
We will swap a single breaker if you need to keep going short term, but the documented failure-to-trip rate on FPE Stab-Lok panels makes full replacement the better long-term call, especially out here where service calls take longer to schedule.
