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 We removed outdated fluorescent lighting, and these were replaced with current LED canned lighting, expanded the circuit board and repaired the drywall hole that the old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.

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.
Electrical service in Vinton, LA
Vinton is western Calcasieu Parish, close to the Texas line on I-10. Drive time from our Lake Charles shop is twenty-five to thirty minutes. The town has older housing along the original main street grid and acreage homes stretching north and south. Delta Downs racetrack and casino sits on the east edge and pulls steady traffic through town.
What we work on in Vinton
Service upgrades for the older homes are the steady call. Many of the houses inside the original town grid date to the 1940s-1960s and still run on 60A or 100A services. We run a real load calc per NEC 220 and either replace in place or migrate to an outdoor meter-main combo. Mast and weatherhead repair is a common follow-on, especially on homes where Hurricane Laura damage was patched but not properly repaired.
Generator demand is steady. Vinton sits on the front edge of any storm coming up from the Gulf and the area lost power for extended periods in 2020. Most installs are Generac air-cooled units in the 22-26kW range, with a service-rated transfer switch, NFPA 37 clearances, and a real propane or natural gas hookup.
Outbuilding feeders, RV pad receptacles, and well-pump circuits come up for the acreage homes. We pull the parish permit for any feeder over 60A and any new service.
How to reach us
Call (337) 570-2327 or use the contact page. Calcasieu Parish permit. Entergy is the utility for almost all of Vinton.
Times are typical, not guaranteed. Traffic, weather, and parts on hand can shift them. We will tell you a real window when you call.
Who issues your Vinton permit.
Vinton sits in unincorporated Calcasieu Parish for most parcels, so electrical permits typically run through the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury Building Division. We confirm jurisdiction with the address before we pull, then handle inspection scheduling.
We pull the permit under our Louisiana contractor license, coordinate the rough and final inspections, and walk the inspector through the work so you do not have to.
What Southwest Louisiana says about our work
Real reviews from real customers across Lake Charles, Sulphur, Moss Bluff, and the surrounding parishes.
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.
Hayden and Mackenize did an outstanding job. Gave my wife and I step by step instructions on how to operate the generator as well as went over labeling of our breaker box. Guys were very knowledgeable and patience when we ask questions. I highly recommend Hayes Electrical for any electrical work..
My thanks to Mackenzie and his crew for the work they did at my house. Mackenzie was very professional and made sure to answer all my questions regarding the work being done. I can honestly say I feel safer with the finished job. Not only upgrading my panel box, but adding more lighting to my home inside and out.
Common questions in Vinton
Do you serve Vinton?
Yes, we work Vinton along I-10 near the Texas line. It is the western edge of our normal service area but we run there regularly. Service calls, panel upgrades, and rewires are all on the menu.
How fast can you get to my home in Vinton?
Vinton is about a 25 minute run from our Lake Charles shop down I-10. Non-emergency work usually lands in a same-day or next-day window. Emergency arrival is closer to two hours since it is at the edge of our typical reach.
Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Vinton?
Yes, any service or panel change requires a permit and inspection. The parish checks grounding per NEC 250, AFCI and GFCI coverage per 210.12 and 210.8, and labeling per 408. We handle the permit and meet the inspector.
How far west do you go from Vinton?
We stop at the Sabine River and the Texas state line. We are licensed in Louisiana, so we do not cross into Orange or Bridge City. If you have property on both sides, we can handle the Louisiana parcel.
My Vinton home took water in a past storm. Should the receptacles be replaced?
Yes, any device that was submerged needs replacement, not just drying. Internal contacts corrode and the device cannot meet listed ratings. We also re-check the GFCI and AFCI coverage per NEC 210.8 and 210.12 since the rules have tightened since older homes were built.
