02 / SERVICE AREA

Lockmoor 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.

Inspection work in Lockmoor comes in three common forms: pre-purchase or pre-sale inspections on older homes, insurance-driven inspections (especially after a policy non-renewal flagged knob-and-tube or Federal Pacific), and code-correction punch lists from a city inspector after a permitted job. We walk every system: service entrance, meter, panel, grounding electrode system, branch circuits at the device level, fixtures, GFCI and AFCI coverage, and any visible deficiencies.

What we typically find in older Lockmoor homes: missing or undersized grounding electrode conductor, no second ground rod where required by NEC 250.53, neutral and ground bonded in sub-panels (should only be at service disconnect), missing GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages, and exterior receptacles per NEC 210.8, missing AFCI on bedroom and living-area circuits per NEC 210.12 in renovated homes, backstabbed devices, knob-and-tube still active, two-prong receptacles, and panel directories that no longer match the actual circuit map.

We deliver inspection reports with photographs and a prioritized correction list: safety items first, code items second, recommended improvements third. For code correction work we do the corrections at a flat quote and re-inspect with the city inspector when the original permit requires it.

  Permits

Permits and inspections

Lockmoor is a Lake Charles neighborhood inside the city limits, so electrical permits are issued by the City of Lake Charles Building and Permit Division. We pull and post the permit and schedule the inspections. 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.

04 / WHO TO HIRE

Why hiring a licensed electrician matters.

Here is the no-spin cut on electrical inspections and code corrections. 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.
PICK THE LICENSED PATH
Drop the electrical inspections and code corrections job on us. We will walk it, scope it, and put the price on paper.

What Southwest Louisiana says about our work

Real reviews from real customers across Lake Charles, Sulphur, Moss Bluff, and the surrounding parishes.

★★★★★

Hayes Electrical has earned my business in the future. They saved me hundreds of dollars by referring me to Entergy first after hearing what my electrical issues were. They could have made easy money on a service call, and then refer me to Entergy. Instead, they did the right thing and had me contact Entergy first. 5 stars Nice to see a company that didn't take advantage of a customer. ❤️1

★★★★★ Electrical panel replacement or upgrading, Outdoor lighting installation, Electrical fixture installation

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.

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

★★★★★ Electric car charger installation

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.

Common questions for Electrical Inspections and Code Corrections in Lockmoor

My insurer wants my Lockmoor home inspected - can you do that?

Yes. We document the panel brand, service condition, wiring methods, GFCI and AFCI coverage, and any safety-flagged items the carrier asks about. The report is photographed and delivered in writing for the carrier file.

How much does an electrical inspection cost?

A residential inspection in Lockmoor is a flat fee that covers the walkthrough, testing, and written report. We quote the price up front and bill the inspection separately from any corrective work.

What does the city inspector look for after a permitted job?

The inspector verifies the work matches the permit scope and the current NEC. Common items: panel labeling, GFCI/AFCI coverage, working clearances, grounding, and the inspector-required cover-up sequence. We schedule and meet the inspector on every permitted job.
