Lake Arthur service from Hayes Electrical. Same-day response on most calls. Call (337) 570-2327.
Hayes Electrical handles electrical repairs for homes and businesses in Lake Arthur, and the surrounding Southwest Louisiana area. Licensed, bonded, insured, with our Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee on every job.
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.
Lake Arthur repair calls cover the usual catalogue plus a few rural-specific failures: dead outlets in older farm homes, ceiling fans that buzz or wobble, well pump circuits that trip, outbuilding feeders that have lost a leg, GFCIs in shops and barns that will not reset, pole meter terminals that have corroded, and the occasional dead leg in half the house from a failing service connection at the pole.
We troubleshoot before we replace. That means voltage and continuity checks at the device, a load test at the panel, and a look at how the circuit is split before we touch a wire. Rural addresses often hold layered wiring eras: original 1960s or 1970s farm wiring, additions from the 1980s or 1990s, and newer outbuilding feeders that may or may not be properly grounded. Common findings: backstabbed outlets, undersized neutrals on extended circuits, shop feeders without proper ground per NEC 250, overhead conductors with sun-damaged insulation, and pole-meter terminals with corrosion from the salt-laden Gulf weather.
For Lake Arthur we batch repair work when we can. If we are out for one address we will look at neighbor calls the same day. We carry standard residential breakers, devices, and box materials on the truck. If a job turns into something larger (a full rewire of a shop, a panel that should be replaced) we tell you on site and write a quote you can review.
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. 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 repairs. Same answer we would give a friend in Westlake or Carlyss, whether or not we end up winning the job.

Hayes Electrical, LLC treat you like family. When I called I had an immediate need and they made me a priority. They were very friendly and professional and communicated well. There was no guessing. Their office staff and the person who answers the phone was on top of it! If you're looking for great professional service then you need to call Hayes Electrical.
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.
We turned to the company for help to find out the reason why our generator stopped working, fix the problem and start it. We were served by Dorian, a very nice young man, a good specialist and a professional in his field. Everything went well, Dorian did diagnostics, invited a mechanic and our generator works. We recommend this company if you have problems with the generator.
The sweetest people ever, they were very nice and you know they know what they are talking about when it comes to their work. I was only able to do the first half of the work. We had some issues with ENTERGY but they were able to help resolve the issues in a timely manner. Thank you!
Usually one of three things: a loose connection at the panel or sub-panel feeding the shop, a failed weatherhead or splice on the overhead run, or an undersized conductor that overheats under load. We test the feeder under load and find the actual failure point.
Common causes: a failing pump motor pulling inrush above the breaker rating, a pressure switch sticking, water-logged pump capacitor, or a damaged underground feeder. We meter the inrush and the running load before we recommend a fix.
Depends on how far the corrosion has gone. Surface corrosion on lugs cleans up and re-torques. Deep corrosion into the meter base or hot tap means a new meter base, which the utility (Entergy or Cleco) coordinates with us to swap.
