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

Prien Lake 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.
Fuse panel work is uncommon in Prien Lake because the post-2000 construction in Prien and Prien-Lake shipped with modern breaker panels from day one. We still see fuse panels occasionally in early-1990s holdovers on the edges of these areas or in detached structures (workshops, pool houses) that were wired separately and aged differently from the main home.
When we do find a fuse panel, we replace fuses with the correctly sized type per NEC 240: Type S adapters for plug-fuse circuits to prevent over-fusing (a plug-fuse base accepts any size, which is the original fire risk; Type S adapters lock the base to one rating), and the correctly sized cartridge fuse for the main and 240V circuits. We carry common Bussmann and Littelfuse sizes. We do not bypass blown fuses with copper, foil, or oversized fuses and will refuse to leave such a workaround in place.
The honest answer on a residual fuse panel in Prien Lake is usually replacement with a modern breaker load center. We will quote both options on the visit so you can compare. Fuse swap itself does not require a permit; the upgrade does.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!
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
I've had the privilege of getting to know Juliet and Dorian, and what stands out most is how much they care about people. They are genuine, kind, and passionate about doing things the right way qualities that shine through in the way they serve their customers and lead their company. In an industry where trust matters, Juliet and Dorian embody integrity, authenticity, and heart. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for electricians who treat their customers like family.
Common questions for Electrical Fuse Replacement in Prien Lake
Are fuse panels common in Prien Lake homes?
No, they are uncommon here. Most Prien Lake homes were built after 2000 with modern breaker panels. We occasionally find fuses in early-1990s holdovers or in detached workshops.
Can I use a bigger fuse if mine keeps blowing in Prien Lake?
No. The fuse rating matches the wire size. A bigger fuse means the wire overheats before the fuse blows, which is how fires start. Find the load problem first.
Should I replace my old fuse panel in Prien Lake with a breaker panel?
For any home that still has one, yes. A modern Square D Homeline or Eaton BR breaker panel adds capacity, accepts AFCI and GFCI breakers for code coverage, and increases home resale value.
