PRIEN LAKE
Prien Lake service from Hayes Electrical. Call (337) 570-2327.
Hayes Electrical handles service mast and meter socket repair for homes and businesses in Prien Lake and the surrounding Southwest Louisiana area. Licensed, bonded, and backed by our Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee.
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.
Service mast and meter socket repair in Prien Lake is different from older neighborhoods because most Prien Lake construction is fed underground from the transformer, with no overhead mast at all. The repair work here is almost always at the meter base itself: storm-damaged enclosure, corroded jaws, an arcing meter, or damage from a vehicle backing into the side of the house.
We coordinate with Entergy to pull the disconnect, then replace the meter socket (Milbank, Eaton, or Square D 200A or 320A as appropriate). We do not replace the buried URD conductors between the transformer pedestal and the meter unless they are visibly damaged; that portion is utility-owned in many cases and we coordinate with Entergy. Grounding electrode conductors per NEC 250.66 are re-attached or replaced as needed.
For the rare Prien Lake homes with overhead drops (typically on the older edges of these neighborhoods), we handle the mast, weatherhead, and SER conductor replacement per NEC 230.24 clearances. A permit is filed at the Lake Charles Permits Office for any mast or meter work and the AHJ inspection must clear before Entergy will reconnect.
Prien Lake addresses inside the City of Lake Charles limits get electrical permits from the City of Lake Charles Building and Permit Division. We confirm jurisdiction at the address and pull the appropriate permit. Permit work runs under LA Lic #73821. You do not touch the paperwork.
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.

Times are typical, not guaranteed. Traffic, weather, and parts on hand can shift them. We will tell you a real window when you call.

Real reviews from real customers across Lake Charles, Sulphur, Moss Bluff, and the surrounding parishes.
Great price Brent, Mackenzie and Bailey worked diligently each and every day till they finished. It was hot as there was no power in the trailer, but they never complained. Anytime I asked a question they had an answer. I highly recommend Hayes Electric. His people are the best!!!
A group of men and woman that are talented and focused. All licensed. Their customer service is excellent. They were able to upgrade my electrical system for a house built in the 1970s. We removed outdated fluorescent lighting, and these were replaced with current LED canned lighting, expanded the circuit board and repaired the drywall hole that the old fluorescence left in the ceiling. When we asked for options, they gave us multiple options from which we discussed pros and cons of each. Lastly, they are honest, trustworthy, and reliable.
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.
I would give Hayes Electrical a 10-Star rating if I could. Superior workmanship and performance and highly skilled technicians for a great customer experience. I highly recommend Hayes Electrical for any and all of your electrical repairs and upgrades.
Meter sockets sit in an exterior enclosure exposed to weather, sun, and the occasional bump from a trash bin or vehicle. They can corrode internally or take physical damage even without a storm. We replace what is failing.
The meter socket enclosure is customer-owned even on underground services. The homeowner is responsible. Insurance often covers storm or vehicle damage; we provide the documentation you need.
Typically four to six hours of work, scheduled so the AHJ inspection and Entergy reconnect happen the same day. The home is usually back on power by evening.
