Mackenzie and Hayden completed my job effectively and efficiently. They are very professional, polite and well mannered. Both were able to check on making sure the job was done correctly, while also making sure other things were working properly as well. I highly recommend this company and workers. Thanks Darius Clayton for your recommendation.

What this work usually runs.
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.
When the power goes out at a Lake Arthur address at night or sparks come out of a panel during chores, we run emergency calls to the outer parishes on the same dispatch routing we use in town, with a longer drive on the front end. Most Lake Arthur emergency calls fall into a handful of buckets: storm damage to the overhead drop or weatherhead, a pole-mounted meter that has lost a leg, half the house dead because the service has failed, a burning smell at the panel, a generator that will not transfer, or a well pump that has tripped its breaker and will not reset.
On arrival we isolate the failure before we restore anything. That means killing the main, opening the panel, and verifying with a meter what is live, what is grounded, and what is bonded. We carry common Square D, Eaton, Siemens, and GE breakers on the truck so most single-breaker failures get resolved in one visit. Service-side failures (weatherhead, mast, meter can, pole meter) require coordination with the serving utility (Entergy or Cleco depending on the address) and sometimes a temporary disconnect, which we will sequence on the phone before we drive.
Lake Arthur is a 30 to 60 minute drive from our shop. We will give you an honest ETA when you call, not a fake one. If your situation is genuinely dangerous (active arcing, smoke, smell of melted plastic, downed service conductor on the ground) we will tell you what to switch off and what to stay away from before we arrive.

What Southwest Louisiana says about our work
Real reviews from real customers across Lake Charles, Sulphur, Moss Bluff, and the surrounding parishes.
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 We removed outdated fluorescent lighting, and these were replaced with current LED canned lighting, expanded the circuit board and repaired the drywall hole that the old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.
They were really helpful and got to me the next day, a storm came through and my electric box outside got messed up really bad, I only had half of my house working. It was a fire hazard, waiting to happen. I had called many places to come out to look at it and they was putting me off, it was so scary. I was so blessed when I called them the owner came out the same day and said that they could come out the next day to fix it. I thank God this company was so worried about my house catching on fire, so he put me in front of other customers because he was really concerned. I highly Recommend this company Hayes Electric to everyone out there for problems, they were very reasonable, it did not cost me a fortune that I did not have. And by the way to let everyone know they do have a payment plan if you do not have the money at the time of their service. I can't thank them enough for being so concerned about the problem that I had. Again Thank Yall SOOO MUCH AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! TINA SCHIELE
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had Hayes Electric install an EV wall charger for my new electric vehicle and couldn't be happier. The whole process was clean, fast, and professional. Communication was excellent every step of the way, which really gave me peace of mind. Special thanks to Mackenzie McGuane for the outstanding work - everything was done right the first time and looks great. Highly recommend Hayes Electric if you're looking for quality and reliability!
Common questions for Emergency Electrical Services in Lake Arthur
Do you take after-hours emergency calls in Lake Arthur?
Yes. We run emergency dispatch nights, weekends, and holidays for Lake Arthur addresses. Drive time is longer than in-town calls (30 to 60 minutes) so we give an honest ETA when you call and tell you what to switch off in the meantime.
My well pump tripped the breaker and will not reset - emergency?
If the home is on a well and you have no water, yes - that counts as urgent. The breaker is doing its job, which means the pump motor, pressure switch, or the pump branch circuit has a fault. We diagnose the failure rather than just resetting the breaker.
A tree hit my service drop in Lake Arthur - what do I do?
Stay away from any downed conductor. Call the utility (Entergy or Cleco) to drop the service from the pole, then call us. We repair the mast, weatherhead, and meter base, coordinate the reconnect, and get you back on power.
