01 / 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.

Whole-home standby generator installation in Mallard Junction is a top request after every named storm. We install Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton air-cooled units (typically 18 to 26 kW) sized to the home load by an NEC 220 calculation, with an automatic transfer switch (ATS) ahead of the main panel.

Installation involves a concrete or composite pad on grade, fuel delivery (LP from an existing tank or natural gas from Atmos), an ATS rated to match the service (200A for most Mallard Junction homes), and a battery-backed control panel. The exhaust must clear NFPA 37 spacing from openings (typically 5 ft from any door or operable window). For homes in Mallard Junction historic-district zones with restrictive setbacks, we coordinate placement with the homeowner so the unit sits where it is allowed and audible noise is minimized.

Permits are filed at the Lake Charles Permits Office. We schedule the rough and final inspections and complete the manufacturer commissioning (load test, transfer test, exercise schedule) before we leave.

  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.

03 / WHO TO HIRE

Why hiring a licensed electrician matters.

Here is the no-spin cut on whole home generator 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

★★★★★

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

★★★★★ Electrical outlet & switch repair

Great price Having an older home, my wife and I were extremely concerned when we started experiencing electrical issues. We were referred to Dorian by a friend! He came out and inspected the problem within a day and gave us multiple solutions to the problem that best fit our budget. Dorian and his wife are incredibly personable! Highly recommend!

★★★★★ 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 Whole Home Generator Installation in Mallard Junction

What size generator does my Mallard Junction home need?

An 18 kW unit covers most 1,500-2,500 sq ft homes; larger homes with two AC systems or an EV charger usually need 22-26 kW. We run the NEC 220 calculation before quoting.

Will my Mallard Junction generator run on the natural gas line I already have?

Often yes if the line size and meter capacity can supply the generator demand. Atmos can upsize the meter if needed; we coordinate.

How long does the install take at my Mallard Junction home?

Two to three days of on-site work plus the AHJ inspection. Pad cure time and Atmos coordination can extend the overall calendar by a week or two.
