01 / SERVICE AREA

Lake Charles 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.

A whole-home electrical inspection in Lake Charles is a deeper version of the safety inspection: every room, every fixture, the attic, the crawl, the panel interior, the service entrance, and the grounding system. It is the inspection we recommend before any major remodel and the one insurance carriers in Lake Charles ask for on homes built before 1960.

The walk includes: service drop and weatherhead, meter base, panel interior with dead-front removed, every branch circuit traced and tested, smoke and CO alarm verification, fixture and ceiling-box weight rating spot-check, exterior receptacle and lighting circuits, and the grounding electrode system. We document with photos, infrared scans of the panel and major load centers, and a single-line drawing of the service if one does not exist.

The deliverable is a 15 to 30 page report ranked by priority. The Lake Charles AHJ does not require a permit for inspection work, but findings that drive corrective work are quoted with permits if warranted.

  Permits

Permits and inspections

Electrical permits inside the Lake Charles city limits are issued by the City of Lake Charles Building and Permit Division on Lakeshore Drive. We pull the permit, schedule the rough and final inspections, and stay on site for the inspector when the job needs it. Permit work runs under LA Lic #73821. You do not touch the paperwork.

  Warranty

What's covered

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.

03 / WHO TO HIRE

Why hiring a licensed electrician matters.

Here is the no-spin cut on whole-home electrical inspection. Same answer we would give a friend in Westlake or Carlyss, whether or not we end up winning the job.

Hayes Electrical

A licensed electrician

LA-licensed master electrician walks every call. Family-owned, owner-led, based in Lake Charles.
Permits pulled under LA Lic #73821 and inspections coordinated with the Calcasieu, Jeff Davis, Allen, or Cameron Parish AHJ when the work calls for it.
Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee in writing. If our work fails, we come back and fix it. Stays with the home.
Insured and carrying workers' comp on every truck that rolls.
Quote on paper before we cut the first wire. The signed number is the number you pay.
A handyman

Unlicensed for electrical

No LA state electrical license. Can swap a fixture, cannot legally touch a panel, a service entrance, or a rewire.
No permits. When the parish or city audits the work later, it does not pass.
No real warranty. "Call me if it breaks" falls apart the day you actually need it.
If unlicensed work starts a fire, your homeowner policy can flat-out deny the claim.
Cash discount sometimes shows up on the invoice. So does the next problem.
DIY

Doing it yourself

Cheap right up until something goes sideways. Most jobs need a load calc, NEC compliance, and a permit.
A failed inspection sends you back to redo it. Selling the house later, the buyer's inspector flags it the same way.
No warranty. The replacement is on you.
Hot wiring is no joke. Most fatal home electrical accidents in this country are DIY.
If you genuinely know what you are doing, fine. If you do not, call us first.

Found Hayes Electrical LLC on Angi's List last September to install a home generator. From the initial phone call and every phone call in between these folks are the best. They handled everything. So kind, helpful and just awesome people. Their workers are very professional, knows their job, all wore work uniforms. We may have had a hiccup once (not their fault) didn't matter they were on top of it thru the entire install. It literally was the easiest install of anything in my house ever!! If I ever need anything I will call Hayes Electrical and no one else. I can't say enough good about these folks. And they are easy to get attached to... their good people🙏 I have to thank Dorian and McKenzie you guys are great!!

They added my 50amp generator receptacle box outside my house, they also added an interlock and the generator breaker. I also had them add a 2nd 50amp receptacle, just below my panel, for a future vehicle lift and had them drop a CAT6 behind my tv, so I can play Xbox online without lagging. I would hire them again without thinking twice. They're extremely professional and reasonably priced.

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

Common questions for Whole-Home Electrical Inspection in Lake Charles

How long does a whole-home inspection take in Lake Charles?

A typical 2,000-3,000 sq ft home runs four to six hours on site, with the report delivered within two business days.

Do I need a whole-home inspection for my older Lake Charles home?

It is the strongest documentation we can produce. If your insurer is asking questions about the panel or wiring, this report usually resolves them in one round.

Can you also fix what the inspection finds in my Lake Charles home?

Yes. We quote corrections separately so you see both numbers, and you decide whether to use us or another contractor for the corrective work.
