Smyrna Electricians has been doing this work since 2008, and the business has always been rooted right here in Smyrna, Georgia. What started as a small operation focused on honest residential work has grown into a full-service electrical contractor trusted by homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners across Cobb County. We're your neighbors, and we treat every job that way. From a single tripped breaker to a full commercial rewire, the people who answer the phone and show up at your door are part of this community. One number. One call. One electrician at your door.
From older homes to new commercial builds, we handle the full range of electrical work that keeps properties safe and running. Most calls start the same way: something isn't working, and the homeowner isn't sure why. Flickering lights, dead outlets, breakers that trip and won't reset, circuits that can't keep up with modern loads. These aren't just nuisances. They're signs the electrical system needs attention from someone who knows what to look for. Our licensed electricians troubleshoot the cause, not just the symptom, and they explain what they find before any work begins. Call and we'll handle the lights, outlets, and panel.
Keeping a home safe starts with the wiring behind the walls, and that includes every outlet and switch in the building. We install and replace standard outlets, GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas, AFCI-protected circuits in bedrooms and living spaces, dimmer switches, USB outlets, and three-way switches. Dead outlets and sparking receptacles are more common than most homeowners realize, and they're worth addressing quickly. Every install follows current code requirements, so the work is done right the first time and holds up to inspection.
Your home's electrical panel is the center of everything. When it's undersized, outdated, or failing, the whole system suffers. We handle 200-amp panel upgrades, 400-amp service upgrades, main panel replacements, subpanel installations, and individual circuit breaker replacements. Before any panel work begins, we assess the existing load and what the upgraded service will need to carry. That includes the service entrance, meter base, and grounding system, not just the box itself. Commercial clients with older panels or growing power demands can count on us for that work too. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and we leave the space clean when we're done.
Your home deserves wiring that's safe and up to code, whether it was built last year or sixty years ago. Older Smyrna homes sometimes still carry knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch circuit wiring, both of which present real safety concerns and can affect insurability. We handle full rewires, partial rewires, and targeted remediation depending on what the home actually needs. For additions, remodels, and kitchen or bathroom renovations, we rough in new circuits, run wiring to new fixture locations, and make sure the panel can support the added load. Dedicated circuits for dryers, ranges, dishwashers, EV chargers, and other high-draw appliances are part of this work too. Grounding and bonding are addressed as part of any rewiring project, not treated as an afterthought. We'll trace it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
Georgia's warm climate and active storm season make two services especially relevant here: EV charging infrastructure and backup power. Both are jobs we handle regularly, and both start with making sure the electrical system is ready to support the load.
A Level 2 home EV charger gives you a full charge overnight instead of waiting days on a standard 120-volt outlet. The job involves running a dedicated 240-volt circuit from the panel to the garage or driveway, verifying that the panel has capacity for the added load, and either hardwiring the charger or installing the correct outlet for your setup. We handle the permit process where required and walk you through what to expect before we start. If the panel needs an upgrade to support the charger, we'll tell you upfront and include it in the estimate.
When a storm knocks out power, a properly wired standby or portable generator can keep the essentials running. The electrical side of this work involves installing a transfer switch, running the wiring between the generator and the panel, and making sure the system is set up so utility power and generator power can never feed each other at the same time. That last part is a safety requirement, not optional. We size the transfer switch to match the generator and the loads it will serve, and we test the system before we call the job done. No pressure and no gimmicks, just safe, solid wiring that works when you need it.
If you're not sure your panel can handle the load, or you just want better lighting throughout the house, we can help with both. We install recessed lighting, LED retrofits, under-cabinet lighting, outdoor and security lighting, and landscape lighting circuits. Ceiling fan installation is one of our most common requests, including installs in rooms that don't have existing wiring or a ceiling box rated for fan weight. Whole-home surge protection is worth adding to any panel upgrade or new installation. Arc-fault and ground-fault breakers are part of the picture too, protecting circuits from the types of faults that standard breakers don't catch. One ring and we're on it.
Every job we complete is held to current National Electrical Code standards and any local amendments that apply in Cobb County. That matters for two reasons. First, it keeps the people in the building safe. Second, it protects the homeowner when it comes time to sell or insure the property. Work performed by licensed electricians is not just a phrase we use lightly. It means every circuit, connection, and installation has been done by someone who has trained for this work and is accountable for the result. We pull permits when the job requires them and schedule inspections when they're part of the process. That's not extra work. That's the job done correctly.
We are not satisfied until you are. If something isn't right after we've finished, we want to know about it and we will make it right. That's not a policy printed on a form. It's how a local business with 18 years of community history operates. Our reputation in Smyrna is built one job at a time, and we take that seriously on every call.
Ready to get the power sorted? It helps to know what things cost before anyone shows up. The price of electrical work depends on scope, the condition of the existing wiring and panel, permit requirements, and how much access the job requires. We explain all of that before work begins, and we don't add charges that weren't part of the conversation. What drives cost up unexpectedly is usually something found inside the wall or panel that wasn't visible from the outside. When that happens, we stop, explain what we found, and get your go-ahead before continuing. Prompt response, even for last-minute electrical calls, is something we take seriously, and that includes being straightforward about pricing from the first conversation.
If you've recently purchased a home, are preparing to sell, or are living in a house that hasn't had its wiring looked at in years, an electrical safety inspection is a practical next step. We assess the panel condition, grounding and bonding, AFCI and GFCI coverage, visible wiring age and type, and any obvious hazards at outlets, fixtures, or the service entrance. The goal isn't to sell additional work. It's to give you an accurate picture of what the system looks like and what, if anything, needs attention. Older Smyrna homes in particular benefit from a thorough inspection, especially if the original wiring has never been updated.
We're based in Smyrna and serve the surrounding communities throughout Cobb County and the nearby metro area. That includes Marietta, Vinings, Mableton, Austell, Kennesaw, Acworth, and Cumberland.

Below is a look at the services we provide, who they are best suited for, and what is worth knowing before you call.
| Electrical Service | What It Covers | When You Need It | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | dryer and range circuits, refrigerator and dishwasher circuits, 240V outlet installation, workshop circuits | homeowners adding a major appliance, setting up a workshop, or replacing shared circuits that trip under load | High-draw appliances need their own circuit. Sharing a circuit with other loads causes trips and can shorten appliance life. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation | new outlet installation, GFCI and AFCI outlets, dimmer switch installation, outlet relocation | homeowners adding convenience, upgrading safety devices, or bringing older rooms up to code | Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations all require GFCI protection under current code. We make sure the right devices go in the right places. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation | new fan installation, fan replacement, wobble and switch troubleshooting, fan-rated box installation | homeowners adding comfort to a room or replacing a fan that wobbles, hums, or has stopped responding | Ceiling fans require a fan-rated electrical box. If one is not already in place, we install the correct box before mounting the fan. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection | panel-level surge protector installation, grounding and bonding checks, combined surge and panel work | homeowners in the Southeast where lightning and grid fluctuations put appliances and electronics at real risk | A panel-level surge protector catches voltage spikes before they reach your circuits. It works best alongside proper grounding and bonding throughout the home. |
| Wiring for Additions & Remodels | rough-in wiring, finish wiring, permit-ready installations, new room circuits | homeowners adding a room, finishing a basement, or remodeling a kitchen or bathroom | We handle all electrical rough-in and finish work so the new space is powered correctly and ready for inspection from day one. |
| Backup Generator Installation | transfer switch installation, dedicated generator circuit, standby and portable hookups, utility isolation | Cobb County homeowners who have experienced extended outages during storm season and want reliable backup power | A properly wired transfer switch keeps the generator safely isolated from the utility line, protecting both your equipment and line workers restoring power nearby. We handle the wiring and hookup; the generator unit is serviced separately. |
| Electrical Panel UpgradesMost Popular | 200-amp service upgrades, full panel replacements, subpanel installation, load calculations | homeowners with an aging or undersized panel, anyone planning an EV charger, or homes being prepped for an addition | Many Smyrna homes were built when electrical demand was far lower than it is today. A load calculation confirms whether your current service can handle what you are running now and what you plan to add. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting | dead outlets and switches, flickering or dimming lights, wiring fault diagnosis, GFCI replacement | homeowners and landlords dealing with an electrical problem that needs a same-day fix | We trace the problem to its source rather than just resetting a breaker. You get a clear explanation and a price before any work begins. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections | panel and wiring inspection, outlet and grounding checks, code violation documentation, pre-purchase inspections | homebuyers, landlords, and property managers who need a clear picture of a property's electrical condition | If we find code violations, we document them clearly and can handle the repairs. We respond promptly, so scheduling is usually straightforward. |
| Lighting Installation | recessed and LED lighting, fixture replacement, under-cabinet lighting, outdoor and security lighting | homeowners remodeling a room, upgrading to LED, or adding exterior lighting for safety and curb appeal | LED retrofits reduce energy use and are one of the most cost-effective upgrades we install. Outdoor fixtures must be rated and wired to code. |
| Wiring & Rewiring | whole-home rewires, knob-and-tube replacement, aluminum branch-circuit remediation, partial rewires | owners of older homes with outdated wiring that creates safety concerns or affects insurability | Updated wiring improves safety, supports modern electrical loads, and can make a home easier to insure and sell. |
| EV Charger Installation | Level 2 charger circuit, 240V dedicated outlet, panel capacity check, hardwired charger installation | EV owners who want overnight charging at home without relying on a slow 120V outlet | We run a load calculation before installation to confirm the existing panel can support the new circuit without creating problems elsewhere in the home. |
| Basement & Sump-Pump Circuits | dedicated sump-pump circuit, basement outlet installation, GFCI protection in wet areas, finished basement wiring | homeowners finishing a basement or making sure a sump pump has a reliable, code-compliant dedicated circuit | A sump pump should never share a circuit with other loads. A dedicated circuit and GFCI protection are both code requirements in most installations. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair | tripping breaker diagnosis, breaker replacement, double-pole breaker service, service entrance checks | any home or business where breakers trip repeatedly or a circuit has gone dead | Repeated trips are a symptom, not the problem itself. We find the underlying cause so the fix actually holds. |
What are the signs that a home needs a panel or service upgrade?
The most common signs are breakers that trip repeatedly without an obvious overload, a panel that feels warm or makes buzzing sounds, lights that dim when a large appliance kicks on, and a home that simply cannot support the circuits you need to add. Older panels with limited amperage were built for far less electrical demand than a modern household puts on them. If you are planning to add an EV charger, a large appliance, or a home addition, a load calculation will tell you whether the current service can handle it.
Why do breakers keep tripping in my home?
Repeated tripping usually points to one of three things: a circuit that is overloaded by too many devices, a fault somewhere in the wiring or an outlet, or a breaker that has weakened and trips below its rated capacity. Resetting the breaker without finding the cause is not a fix. We diagnose the source, tell you what the repair involves, and handle it correctly so the problem does not come back.
Is the electrical work permitted and inspected?
Work that requires a permit under local code is pulled and inspected. We handle that process as part of the job. Permitted work protects you at resale, satisfies insurance requirements, and confirms the installation was done to current code standards.
Same-Day Availability
We keep same-day appointments available for most jobs. When you call, we give you a clear arrival window so you know when to expect us.
How do I know if my older home needs a rewire?
Homes with knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch-circuit wiring, or wiring that has never been updated since original construction are worth having inspected. Warning signs include outlets with no ground, frequent breaker trips, discolored outlets or switch plates, and a panel that has been modified or overloaded over the years. We assess what the home actually needs and walk you through the options rather than recommending more work than the situation calls for.
What does EV charger installation involve?
A Level 2 home charger runs on a 240V dedicated circuit. Before we install anything, we check your panel capacity and run a load calculation to confirm the existing service can support the new circuit without creating problems elsewhere. We then run the circuit, install the outlet or hardwired connection, and make sure everything meets code. Most installations are completed in a single visit.
What is involved in a backup generator hookup?
We handle the electrical side: running the dedicated circuit, installing the transfer switch, and connecting the generator so it is ready when the grid goes down. The transfer switch is the critical piece. It keeps the generator safely isolated from the utility line, which protects your equipment and the line workers restoring power in your area. We do not service the generator unit itself, but we make sure the wiring and hookup are done correctly.
Work Performed by Licensed Electricians
Every job is handled by licensed electricians who know the code requirements for Cobb County and the surrounding area.
Why would outlets or switches stop working?
A dead outlet is often caused by a tripped GFCI device somewhere upstream on the same circuit, a loose wire connection behind the outlet, or a wiring fault. A dead switch is usually a failed switch, a loose connection, or a problem with the fixture it controls. Both are worth having looked at rather than left alone, since loose connections in particular can create a fire risk over time.
What does it mean if my lights flicker or dim?
Occasional dimming when a large appliance starts up can be normal, but persistent flickering or dimming that affects multiple rooms usually points to a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a panel that is struggling to handle the load. It can also indicate a wiring issue in the wall or at the fixture. We trace the cause rather than guessing, and we explain what we find before any work gets started.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We walk you through what the work involves and give you a price before anything gets started. What we quote is what you pay.
Is a warm or buzzing outlet something to worry about?
Yes. A warm outlet, a buzzing sound from an outlet or switch, or a burning smell near any electrical device are signs that something is wrong and should not be ignored. These symptoms can indicate a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a failing device. Turn off the circuit at the panel if you can and call us. This is the kind of call we take seriously regardless of size.
How does pricing and estimating work?
We discuss what the job involves and give you a clear price before any work begins. There are no surprise charges added after the fact. The cost depends on the scope of the work, the condition of the existing wiring and panel, permit requirements, and how much access the job requires. Calling us with a description of the problem or project is the fastest way to get an accurate number.
Do you offer same-day service in Smyrna?
Yes. Same-day availability is something we work hard to maintain. When you call, we give you a clear arrival window so you are not left waiting. We serve Smyrna and the surrounding communities in Cobb County, and we can usually confirm availability for your area when you call.
