Every service our Lake Charles team handles in Walnut Grove. Pick yours to see how we run it.
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.
Walnut Grove is an established Lake Charles neighborhood with a mix of mid-century ranch homes and some newer infill construction. Drive time from our shop runs ten to fifteen minutes depending on the address.
Service upgrades for the older housing are the steady call. Many homes here were built on 150A or 200A services that have been in continuous use for thirty to fifty years. The breakers are tired and the panels often need replacement even when the service rating is still adequate. We size for the future (heat pump, EV charger, generator) not just the current load.
Generator installs are common. Walnut Grove lost power for extended stretches in 2020 and demand for standby systems has been steady since. Most installs are Generac air-cooled in the 22-26kW range with a service-rated transfer switch.
Outdoor and landscape lighting installs come up regularly. Pool and spa work falls under NEC 680 with strict bonding requirements that we follow carefully. We pull the City of Lake Charles permit for any pool or generator install.
EV charger installs are picking up. A typical Level 2 install is a 40A or 48A circuit per NEC 625 with a NEMA 14-50 receptacle or a hardwired charger. If the panel is loaded, we can spec a load management module to avoid a full service upgrade.
Call (337) 570-2327 or use the contact page. City of Lake Charles permit, Entergy utility.
Times are typical, not guaranteed. Traffic, weather, and parts on hand can shift them. We will tell you a real window when you call.
Walnut Grove 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 coordinate inspections.
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.

Hayes Electrical, LLC treat you like family. When I called I had an immediate need and they made me a priority. They were very friendly and professional and communicated well. There was no guessing. Their office staff and the person who answers the phone was on top of it! If you're looking for great professional service then you need to call Hayes Electrical.
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!!
Hayes electrical did a great job with my attic wiring issue. They were efficient; figured out the problem, described it to me in laymen's details and the plan to correct it, they cleaned up the area after. The problem was solved. Great personable interaction and will use them again.
Great price | $400 - 600 Dorian is the most pleasant, kind, knowledgeable and professional electrician with whom I have ever dealt. I k ew nothing about whole house generators and he so graciously explained every step of the servicing process as he did the work and answered my bazillion questions. The utmost professional and sharp as a tack. I'll call him for all of the electrical needs.
Yes, we work Walnut Grove regularly. It is a Lake Charles neighborhood on our normal route. Service calls, panel upgrades, and remodels are all on the schedule.
Walnut Grove is a short run from our shop. Non-emergency calls usually land same-day or next-day, and emergency arrival is typically inside two hours.
Yes, any service or panel change inside Lake Charles city limits needs a permit and inspection. The city checks grounding per NEC 250, AFCI and GFCI coverage per 210.12 and 210.8, and labeling per 408. We pull the permit.
A kitchen addition typically needs two 20 amp small appliance circuits and GFCI on all countertop receptacles per NEC 210.8 and 210.52. We add the circuits from the panel, set the boxes per 314, and pull a permit if the work is more than minor.
Yes, we install a panel-mounted Type 2 SPD per NEC 285. It mounts on a dedicated breaker tied to the main bus and protects the panel from utility switching and nearby lightning, both of which are common in southwest Louisiana.
Drop the project on us. A Hayes Electrical licensed electrician comes out, walks it with you in person, and puts a real plan on paper. The Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee is attached to every install.
