Whether you need a same-day repair, a full panel upgrade, or wiring for a new addition, our team puts licensed electricians on the job every time. We serve homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners throughout the area, and we keep the work straightforward from the first call to the final test. If you need a local electrician today, call (678) 626-9789 for a quote.
From older homes to new commercial builds, we handle the full range of electrical work that keeps properties safe, functional, and up to code. That includes repairs and troubleshooting, breaker panel work, outlet and switch installation, lighting, ceiling fans, wiring, dedicated circuits, and electrical safety inspections.
Homeowners come to us for everything from a tripping breaker to a whole-home rewire. Landlords and property managers count on us to keep rental units safe and code-compliant between tenants. Business owners, office tenants, and remodeling contractors rely on us for commercial wiring, circuit additions, and project work of all sizes.
Smyrna's housing stock includes a solid mix of older builds and fixer-uppers where the wiring hasn't kept pace with modern appliance loads. We know how to work with those homes, bring them up to current standards, and make sure the electrical side of the property is solid before anything else gets done.
Keeping a home safe starts with the wiring behind the walls, and when something goes wrong, the faster you get it diagnosed, the better. Flickering lights, dead outlets, a breaker that keeps tripping, a burning smell near a switch, a sparking outlet, or power out in one room are all signs that something needs attention.
When we arrive, we diagnose the problem first, trace it to the source, fix it properly, and test everything before we leave. We carry the parts to handle most common repairs on the spot, and we offer same-day availability for calls that can't wait. We also install GFCI and AFCI protection where code requires it or where older circuits are running without it.
We'll trace it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
If you're not sure your panel can handle the load, that's usually the right time to call. Older breaker panels were not built for the electrical demand of today's homes, and a panel that's undersized or out of date becomes a safety and reliability problem over time.
We handle breaker panel replacement, service-entrance and meter upgrades, load calculations, subpanel installation, and dedicated circuit installation for dryers, stoves, refrigerators, washers, and other high-draw appliances. We also run the dedicated circuits and size the panel capacity needed to supply heating and cooling equipment on the electrical side.
If your kitchen needs a circuit upgrade, your garage needs its own subpanel, or your service entrance hasn't been touched since the house was built, we can assess the load and walk you through the options before any work begins.
Your home deserves wiring that's safe and up to code, and that includes the outlets and switches you use every day. We install and replace standard outlets, GFCI outlets for kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations, 240V outlets for dryers and stoves, USB outlets, and weatherproof exterior outlets.
On the switch side, we handle standard replacements, dimmer switches, and smart switch installation. These are typically fast jobs with transparent pricing, and we discuss what the work will cost before we start. Proper grounding and bonding are part of every outlet and switch job we do.
Call and we'll handle the lights, outlets, and panel.
We install and replace light fixtures of all kinds: recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting, pendant and chandelier fixtures, outdoor and landscape lighting, security lighting, motion-sensor lights, and deck and porch lighting. We work in both residential and light commercial settings, and we can run new wiring where no fixture existed before.
Ceiling fan installation is one of our most common calls. Whether you're adding a fan to a room that has never had one or replacing an outdated fixture, we handle the wiring and mounting so it's done safely and correctly. LED and recessed lighting upgrades are another frequent request, especially in older homes where the lighting layout hasn't been updated in years.
Older homes in the Smyrna area sometimes still have knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch-circuit wiring, or partial rewires that were never finished correctly. We handle whole-home rewiring, targeted partial rewires, knob-and-tube replacement, and aluminum wiring remediation to bring those systems up to current code.
We also wire home additions, garages, basements, attics, sheds, and workshops. If you're buying or selling a home and need an electrical inspection, we can walk through the property and document what needs attention. Code violation repairs and bringing older wiring into compliance are a regular part of what we do across Cobb County.
One ring and we're on it.
Georgia's storm season brings frequent severe thunderstorms, occasional tornadoes, and the odd ice storm in winter. Smyrna's mix of older housing stock and steady growth in the metro Atlanta corridor makes panel capacity, backup power, and surge protection three of the most practical electrical investments a property owner can make here. Below are the three services we get called for most often when those factors come into play.
Many Smyrna homes, particularly those built before the 1990s, are running on panels that were sized for a fraction of today's electrical load. When a household adds a home office, an EV charger, a major appliance, or updated lighting throughout, the panel becomes the limiting factor. We perform load calculations to determine exactly what a home's electrical system can carry, then handle the full service-entrance and meter upgrade when the existing panel isn't enough. An undersized or aging panel is not just an inconvenience; it's a fire and safety risk that gets worse the longer it goes unaddressed.
When a severe storm knocks out power in the area, the difference between a minor inconvenience and a serious problem often comes down to whether a home or business has a generator hooked up properly. We handle the electrical side of generator installation: the transfer switch, the dedicated circuit, and the panel connection that lets a standby or portable generator feed the home safely. We do not sell or service the generator units themselves, but we make sure the wiring and switching are done correctly so the system works when you need it.
A power strip offers almost no protection against the kind of voltage spike that a nearby lightning strike or a utility grid event can send through your home's wiring. A whole-home surge protector installs at the panel and catches large surges before they reach your appliances, electronics, and wiring. In a region where thunderstorm activity is a regular part of spring and summer, this is one of the most cost-effective upgrades we install. We handle the full installation and make sure the device is correctly rated for your panel.
EV adoption is growing steadily across the metro Atlanta corridor, and Smyrna is no exception. A Level 2 home EV charger gives you a full charge overnight instead of days on a standard outlet, but it requires a dedicated 240V circuit and, in many cases, a panel assessment to confirm there's enough capacity to support it.
We run the dedicated circuit, install the charger outlet or hardwired unit, and let you know upfront if the panel needs an upgrade to handle the added load. We work with all major charger brands and can advise on the right setup for your vehicle and your home's existing electrical system.
Ready to get the power sorted? We work with a wide range of customers across Smyrna and the surrounding area, and the scope of the job does not need to be large to be worth a call.
Homeowners come to us for repairs, upgrades, and installations of every size. Landlords and rental property owners rely on us to keep units safe and up to code, often on tight turnaround between tenants. Property managers call us when something needs to be handled quickly and correctly across multiple units or buildings. Business owners, office tenants, and retail operators count on us for commercial wiring, circuit additions, lighting upgrades, and project work that keeps operations running.
We also work regularly with remodeling contractors and new construction teams that need a reliable electrical partner on a project. Scheduling flexibility matters on those jobs, and we plan around the work rather than the other way around.
No pressure and no gimmicks, just safe, solid wiring and a clear answer on what the job will cost before we start. We discuss pricing upfront, walk through what the work involves, and make sure there are no surprises when the invoice comes.
We're available same-day for calls that need quick attention and offer after-hours and weekend scheduling for customers who can't step away during the week. We're your neighbors, and we treat every job that way. When you call, you reach someone who knows the area and can give you a straight answer about what your job involves and when we can be there.
Know the price. Know the arrival window. Know your electrician.
We are based in Smyrna and serve customers throughout Cobb County and the nearby communities that make up this part of the metro Atlanta area. Our regular service area includes Marietta, Vinings, Mableton, Austell, Powder Springs, Kennesaw, and Acworth. If you're just outside that list, call and we'll let you know if we can get to you.
A whole-home surge protector installs at the breaker panel and intercepts large voltage spikes before they reach your appliances, electronics, and wiring. A nearby lightning strike or a utility grid event can send a damaging surge through every circuit in the house, and a power strip offers almost no protection against that. We install panel-level surge protection as a standalone job or alongside panel upgrades and new circuit work.
We start with a load calculation to determine what the home's electrical system currently carries and what it needs to carry after the upgrade. From there, we handle the full panel replacement, service-entrance and meter work, and grounding system as part of the job. We pull the required permit and schedule the inspection so the work is documented correctly.
We handle the electrical side of generator hookups: the transfer switch, the dedicated circuit between the generator and the panel, and the connection that keeps utility power and generator power safely isolated from each other. That isolation is a safety requirement, not optional. We do not sell or service the generator units themselves, but we make sure the wiring and switching are done correctly.
Flickering or dimming when a heavy appliance starts up usually points to a circuit that's undersized for the load, a panel that's struggling to handle the demand, or a loose connection somewhere in the circuit. It's worth having it diagnosed rather than ignoring it. We'll trace the cause and tell you whether the fix is a simple repair or whether the circuit or panel needs attention.
GFCI protection is required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoor locations, and anywhere near water. AFCI protection is required on bedroom and living-space circuits in most current code editions. We install both as part of new work and as standalone upgrades on older circuits that were wired before these requirements existed.
A burning smell near an outlet, switch, or panel, sparking wiring, a breaker that won't reset, or any situation where you suspect live wiring is exposed or in contact with water should be treated as an emergency. Turn off the affected circuit or the main breaker if you can do so safely, and call us at (678) 626-9789 right away. We work every day until 10:30 PM.
We look at the condition of the breakers, the service entrance, the grounding and bonding connections, whether the panel is properly sized for the load it's carrying, and whether any breakers show signs of overheating or repeated tripping. If we find something that needs attention, we document it and walk you through the options before any work begins.
Call us at (678) 626-9789 and we'll give you a straight answer on what applies to your specific call. Pricing depends on the scope of the job and the timing, and we discuss that upfront before anyone shows up. We work every day from 7:30 AM to 10:30 PM.
A quick repair addresses a specific, isolated problem: a dead outlet, a bad breaker, a damaged switch. A rewire involves replacing wiring throughout part or all of the home, typically because the existing wiring is outdated, unsafe, or can no longer support the electrical load. We assess what the home actually needs and recommend the right scope, not the most expensive one.
Outlets or switches that feel warm to the touch, make a buzzing or crackling sound, spark when you plug something in, or fail to hold a plug firmly are all signs of a problem that needs attention. These issues can worsen quickly, so it's better to have them looked at sooner rather than later. We'll diagnose the cause and replace what needs replacing.
For most electrical work, yes, the affected circuit or the main panel will need to be de-energized while we work on it. We coordinate that with you before we start so you can plan around it. For larger jobs, we work efficiently to minimize the time the power is off.

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.
Every job is different, and the best way to get accurate information for your home or business is to call us directly at (678) 626-9789 for a straightforward quote.
