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.

Vinton 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.
Heat resistor (also called a baseboard or wall heater heating element) replacement in Vinton comes up in older homes that use electric resistance heat in bathrooms or back rooms. Cadet, Markel, and King wall heaters from the 1970s and 1980s are common in Vinton bathrooms, mudrooms, and additions that were never tied into the central system.
We confirm the failure with a resistance check (most elements show specific ohms per watt rating; an open element reads infinite), then order or stock the listed replacement element for the unit. We replace the element with the unit de-energized, verify the thermal cutoff and thermostat are functional, and test under load. If the unit body is past service life or no longer carries a listing, we will tell you and quote a replacement unit on the same visit.
Like-for-like element replacement does not require a permit at the Calcasieu Parish AHJ. A full unit replacement or new circuit installation does.
What we look at for this job
Permits and inspections
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. Permit work runs under LA Lic #73821. You do not touch the paperwork.
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.

Found Hayes Electrical LLC on Angi's List last September to install a home generator. From the initial phone call and every phone call in between these folks are the best. They handled everything. So kind, helpful and just awesome people. Their workers are very professional, knows their job, all wore work uniforms. We may have had a hiccup once (not their fault) didn't matter they were on top of it thru the entire install. It literally was the easiest install of anything in my house ever!! If I ever need anything I will call Hayes Electrical and no one else. I can't say enough good about these folks. And they are easy to get attached to... their good people🙏 I have to thank Dorian and McKenzie you guys are great!!

Common questions for Electrical Heat Resistor Replacement in Vinton
How do I know if the element is bad in my Vinton baseboard heater?
A bad element shows infinite resistance on a multimeter, or the heater hums but produces no heat. We confirm before replacing anything.
Can you still get parts for my old Cadet heater in Vinton?
Most common Cadet, Markel, and King elements are still available from Grainger or direct from the manufacturer. We tell you on site if your specific unit is parts-supported.
Is it worth fixing my old Vinton wall heater?
If the unit body and wiring are sound, replacing the element is the cheaper call. If the housing or wiring shows damage, the better choice is a new listed unit.
