WELSH
Welsh service from Hayes Electrical. Same-day response on most calls. Call (337) 570-2327.
Hayes Electrical handles electrical services for homes and businesses in Welsh, and the surrounding Southwest Louisiana area. Licensed, bonded, insured, with our Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee on every job.
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 outside the Lake Charles metro on rural and small-town acreage where housing stock runs from older farm homes to newer brick builds on five or ten acre tracts. Our work in Welsh covers the full range of country residential and ag-adjacent scopes: panel changes, pole-mounted meter and overhead drop repairs, outbuilding feeders to barns and shops, well-pump and irrigation-pump circuits, ventilation and lighting circuits on chicken houses and ag buildings, generator installs sized for whole-farm backup, and EV chargers on the larger panels that rural homes usually carry.
Rural service in Welsh means most addresses have an overhead drop from the pole to either a wall-mounted meter or a pole-mounted meter with a separate service to the house and outbuildings. We size feeders to outbuildings per NEC 230 and 250, ground per NEC 250 with two driven rods at 25 ohms or better, and we plan around the longer conductor runs that come with acreage (a 200 foot run to a shop changes the wire size compared to a 50 foot run in town). GFCI per NEC 210.8 and AFCI per NEC 210.12 are baked in on any new branch circuit.
Welsh is a 30 to 60 minute drive from our Lake Charles shop, so we batch jobs when we can: if we are coming out for a panel change we will quote the outlet repairs and the shop feeder at the same time. We pull permits through the appropriate parish AHJ (Jeff Davis Parish for Jennings, Welsh, Lake Arthur; Allen Parish for Kinder) and we coordinate with the serving utility (Entergy in most areas, Cleco in parts of Allen Parish) for any service disconnect.
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. 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.
Here is the no-spin cut on electrical services. Same answer we would give a friend in Westlake or Carlyss, whether or not we end up winning the job.
Times are typical, not guaranteed. Traffic, weather, and parts on hand can shift them. We will tell you a real window when you call.

The sweetest people ever, they were very nice and you know they know what they are talking about when it comes to their work. I was only able to do the first half of the work. We had some issues with ENTERGY but they were able to help resolve the issues in a timely manner. Thank you!
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.
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!!!
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.
Yes. Most of our Welsh work is on acreage with overhead drops, pole meters, and one or more outbuildings. We size feeders for the actual run length, ground per NEC 250, and we treat the shop or barn as a real load, not an afterthought.
Most service changes, panel replacements, new circuits, and outbuilding feeders require a permit through the parish AHJ. Jeff Davis Parish handles Jennings, Welsh, and Lake Arthur; Allen Parish handles Kinder. We pull the permit for any scope that needs one.
We are 30 to 60 minutes from Welsh depending on the address. We batch trips when scheduling allows, so a non-emergency call usually lands within the same week on a day we already have other work in the area. Emergency dispatch is faster - call and we will give an honest ETA.
