FAQs
What electrical setup services do you offer in Decatur?
We handle complete residential and light-commercial electrical setups, including new circuit installations, panel upgrades, whole-home rewiring, EV-charger wiring, lighting design and installation, surge protection, and backup generator hookups. If your project involves getting power from the utility to the final outlet or fixture, we can plan, permit, install, and test it.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Decatur?
Yes—under City of Decatur and DeKalb County regulations, any new wiring, service-panel change, or circuit extension beyond simple fixture replacement requires an electrical permit. Our team pulls the permit on your behalf, coordinates with the local inspector, and ensures the work meets the latest Georgia Electrical Code before final sign-off.
Are your electricians licensed and insured in Georgia?
Absolutely. Every lead electrician on our crew holds a current Georgia Class II unrestricted electrical contractor license and completes yearly continuing-education courses. We carry $1 million in general liability coverage and full workers’ compensation insurance, so you’re protected from liability during the project.
How quickly can you schedule an appointment, and how long does an average setup take?
Standard service calls can usually be scheduled within 48 hours. Larger projects—such as a full panel upgrade—are typically booked one to two weeks out to allow for permitting and material procurement. A panel swap takes 4–6 hours; a whole-home rewiring can span 3–7 days depending on house size and accessibility. We provide a detailed timeline before any work begins.
What safety measures do you follow during installations?
Safety is built into every step: we de-energize circuits at the main breaker before work, lockout-tagout all affected feeders, use arc-rated PPE, and follow NFPA 70E safe-work distances. All wiring is sized and grounded per NEC 2023, GFCI/AFCI protection is installed as required, and every completed circuit is megohm-tested and inspected before power is restored.
How much does a typical residential electrical setup cost in Decatur?
Costs vary by scope, but to give ballpark figures: a dedicated 20-amp kitchen circuit starts around $325, a 200-amp service upgrade ranges from $2,400–$3,200, and a full three-bedroom rewire averages $7,000–$10,000. After a free on-site assessment we provide a fixed, itemized quote—no hidden fees—and honor it for 30 days.
