FAQs
What types of electrical repairs do you handle in Athens?
Our licensed electricians can troubleshoot and repair faulty wiring, breaker panel issues, flickering lights, tripped circuits, damaged outlets or switches, ceiling-fan and lighting problems, surge protection faults, and code violations. We also replace outdated fuse boxes with modern breaker panels, repair underground service cables, and fix appliance or HVAC feeder lines.
Are your electricians licensed and insured to work in Athens and the state of Georgia?
Yes. Every technician on our team carries a Georgia Class II unrestricted electrical contractor’s license and meets the City of Athens-Clarke County permitting requirements. We also maintain $1 million in general liability insurance and full workers’ compensation coverage, protecting your property and ensuring code-compliant work.
How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency?
For loss of power, burning smells, sparking outlets, or storm damage, we offer 24/7 emergency dispatch. A live operator answers your call day or night, and a technician is typically on site anywhere in Athens within 60–90 minutes. Our service vans are stocked with the most common breakers, receptacles, wire gauges, and diagnostic equipment so we can resolve most hazards on the first visit.
Will I need a permit for my electrical repair, and do you handle the paperwork?
Minor repairs such as replacing a receptacle usually do not require a permit, but panel upgrades, service-entrance changes, or any work altering the fixed wiring do. When a permit is required, we complete all applications, schedule inspections with Athens-Clarke County Building Inspection, and provide you with the approval documentation at no extra administrative charge.
How much does typical electrical repair cost in Athens?
Prices depend on the scope and parts needed. Simple outlet or switch repairs start around $120–$150. Circuit breaker replacements range from $180–$300, while service-panel upgrades normally cost $1,400–$2,500, including permitting and materials. Before any work begins, we perform an on-site assessment and present a flat, itemized quote so there are no surprises.
Can you upgrade my older Athens home to meet current electrical codes and support modern appliances?
Absolutely. Homes built before the 1980s often have undersized panels, aluminum branch circuits, or two-prong outlets. We can perform a full electrical safety inspection, install a 200-amp service, convert aluminum wire terminations with COPALUM crimping or pigtails, add GFCI/AFCI protection, and run dedicated circuits for EV chargers, heat pumps, or kitchen remodels. All upgrades are completed to current NEC and Athens-Clarke County codes, adding capacity, safety, and resale value.
