Hayes Electrical serves Welsh and the surrounding Southwest Louisiana area for residential and commercial electrical work. Panel upgrades, generator installs, EV chargers, rewiring, lighting, troubleshooting, and code corrections. Every job comes with our Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee.
Every service our Lake Charles team handles in Welsh. 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.
Welsh sits in eastern Jeff Davis Parish along US-90 and the I-10 corridor, about thirty miles east of Lake Charles. Drive time from our shop is thirty-five to forty minutes. The town has a railroad heritage and the housing reflects it: older frame homes through the original town center, newer residential on the periphery, and acreage homes scattered across the surrounding parish.
Service upgrades for the older town housing are the steady call. A lot of these homes were built on 60A or 100A services and have outgrown the original capacity. We size new services off real load calcs, replace panels, update grounding electrode systems per NEC 250, and address aging branch circuits as the budget allows.
Generator installs are heavy. The area is rural enough that storm-related outages can stretch for days. Most installs are Generac air-cooled units in the 22-26kW range with a service-rated transfer switch. Cleco serves some Welsh-area addresses (parts of Allen and northern Jeff Davis); Entergy serves most of the town itself.
Outbuilding feeders, well-pump circuits, RV pad receptacles, and pole-mounted yard lights round out the typical rural-acreage scope. Long feeders need careful sizing for voltage drop, not just for the breaker.
Call (337) 570-2327 or use the contact page. Jeff Davis Parish handles the permit. We coordinate the utility cut-in.
Times are typical, not guaranteed. Traffic, weather, and parts on hand can shift them. We will tell you a real window when you call.
Welsh is in Jefferson Davis Parish, and electrical permits for most addresses are issued by Jefferson Davis Parish Building and Inspection, with city-level permitting inside Welsh town limits for some scopes. We confirm jurisdiction before pulling.
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.

Great service! Brent was able to diagnose the problem and complete the repair quickly and efficiently! He was able to solve a problem that my contractor's electricians were unable to solve! He was very courteous and professional. Highly recommend Hayes Electrical!! Great experience from first call to the end!
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.
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
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
Yes, we cover Welsh along US-90 and I-10 east of Lake Charles. It is a regular run for us in Jeff Davis Parish. Rail-line homes, downtown, and the surrounding rural blocks all on the schedule.
Welsh is about a 30 minute run from our Lake Charles shop down I-10. Non-emergency work usually lands in a next-day window. Emergency arrival runs around two hours.
Yes, any service or panel change needs 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 inspection scheduling.
Not always all of it, but often the service entrance, the panel, and the circuits feeding the kitchen and bathrooms. We start with a survey, identify the actual hazards (knob-and-tube, undersized neutrals, missing grounds), and stage the work so you are not without power for long.
Vibration from passing trains can loosen panel connections over years, so we re-torque lugs and check for warm spots when we are on site. Otherwise the wiring rules are the same as any Jeff Davis Parish address.
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.
