02 / SERVICE AREA

Mallard Junction 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.

EV charger installs in Mallard Junction are a growing category. Older in-city homes with 100A panels often need a service upgrade or a load management device before we can add a 32A or 48A Level 2 charger. We start every EV install with a load calculation per NEC 220 to confirm what the existing service can carry and what needs to change to support the charger.

Typical installs land at 40A (32A continuous, 9.6kW) or 48A (40A continuous, 11.5kW) on a NEMA 14-50 receptacle or hardwired connection per the manufacturer. We use 6 AWG copper for 48A continuous loads per NEC 625 and 240 ampacity tables, GFCI protection per NEC 625 on the EV branch circuit, and a dedicated breaker sized for the charger. Outdoor installs get weather-rated boxes per NEC 406.4 and the charger is mounted at the manufacturer-specified height. We coordinate with the homeowner on charger model selection because the install requirements vary by brand.

For Mallard Junction addresses where the panel is full or the service is undersized we present options: a service upgrade to 200A, a sub-panel for the EV circuit, or a load management device (Wallbox, ChargePoint, DCC) that allows the charger to throttle when other large loads are running. Most installs take half a day to a full day, plus the time for any panel or service work.

  Permits

Permits and inspections

Mallard Junction is a Lake Charles neighborhood inside city limits, so electrical permits are issued by the City of Lake Charles Building and Permit Division. We pull the permit and schedule rough and final 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 EV charger installation. 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 EV charger installation job on us. We will walk it, scope it, and put the price on paper.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

★★★★★ Electrical wiring installation

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.

Common questions for EV Charger Installation in Mallard Junction

Can my 100A Mallard Junction home handle a Level 2 EV charger?

Sometimes, with a lower-amperage charger or a load management device. Often not, especially with central AC and electric range and dryer in the picture. We run a NEC 220 load calc first and tell you what your real options are.

NEMA 14-50 or hardwired - which is better?

For permanent installs we usually recommend hardwired. NEMA 14-50 receptacles in outdoor or garage installs have a long history of overheating from undersized devices. Hardwired is cleaner, often required for 48A chargers, and is the manufacturer-preferred option for most brands.

Do you pull a permit for EV charger installs?

Yes. EV charger installs require a Lake Charles permit. We pull it, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector. Permitting is part of the flat-quote price.
