Testimonials

Their Opinions Speak Volumes

Here’s what customers have to say about our electrical services.

We have used several other companies but will not ever again.

We received a bad inspection report for our panel when we were trying to sell our home. Kalahari came in and went over the report. We looked over and signed a moderately priced quote. Then they set off to do the work to tidy up the panel a bit and swap out breakers. Once into it they decided they would rewire the whole thing. They did not charge extra and were still in and out fast.

– Michael C.

He came out the same day and stayed until midnight to get it fixed.

Excellent customer service is hard to find these days; however, Jan has it down to an art form. I had company in from out of town during the 105 degree days and he came out the same day, stayed until midnight to get it fixed, and he was leaving for vacation the next day. I will never use another electrician.

– Satisfied Customer

They are my go-to electricians.

I have used them many times and they are great. Reliable, knowledgeable, courteous and easy to work with. They are my go-to electricians. Always available and always there when you are counting on them.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about electrical work in Atlanta

Still have a question? Call 678-665-2309 and a licensed electrician will answer it.

What electrical services does Kalahari Electrical offer in Atlanta?

We provide a full range of residential and commercial electrical services throughout Atlanta. Our licensed team handles electrical panel upgrades and replacements, whole-home rewiring, surge protector installations, EV charger installations, and major electrical repairs. Whether you're upgrading an aging system in an older Atlanta home or outfitting a new build with modern power solutions, we have the expertise to get the job done safely and to code.

What are the most common electrical problems in Atlanta homes?

Atlanta is home to a mix of historic properties and rapidly expanding new neighborhoods, which means we see a wide variety of electrical issues. In older homes, outdated panels, aluminum wiring, and circuits that no longer meet current code requirements are extremely common, especially since Georgia adopted the 2023 National Electrical Code statewide on January 1, 2025. With the City of Atlanta set to fully enforce it for new permit applications beginning February 1, 2026, many existing systems will need attention.

  • Undersized electrical panels that can't support modern appliances and devices
  • Outdated wiring in renovated historic homes
  • Lack of whole-home surge protection, which is critical given Georgia's frequent summer storms
  • Insufficient outlets or circuits in older properties being updated for today's power demands
Is Kalahari Electrical licensed and insured to work in Atlanta?

Absolutely. We are a fully licensed and insured Georgia electrical contractor, holding license number EN213186. Kalahari Electrical Services is a family-owned company founded in 2001, and we hold an A+ rating with the BBB along with a 4.9 Google rating. Every one of our technicians is background-checked, drug-tested, and professionally trained, and we back all of our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Do you handle electrical permits in Atlanta?

Yes, we handle the permitting process for our Atlanta customers. If your property is inside Atlanta's city limits, a permit is required from the Office of Buildings, City of Atlanta (part of the Department of City Planning), located at 55 Trinity Ave SW, Suite 3900, Atlanta, GA 30303 (phone: 404-330-6906). The city also offers a digital permitting portal for online applications. As a licensed electrician, we pull the necessary permits, coordinate inspections, and ensure all work meets the latest code requirements so you don't have to worry about the paperwork.

Do you offer emergency or same-day electrical service in Atlanta?

Yes, we offer emergency and same-day electrical service to Atlanta residents and businesses. Electrical emergencies such as sparking outlets, tripped main breakers, or burning smells require immediate professional attention. If you're experiencing a power outage, you can also contact Georgia Power online, Jackson EMC at 800-245-4044, GreyStone Power, or Cobb EMC depending on your service area. For any gas leak, call 911 immediately. For urgent electrical repairs, call us at 678-665-2309 and we will get a licensed technician to your Atlanta location as quickly as possible.

How is the cost of electrical work in Atlanta determined?

The cost of electrical work in Atlanta depends on several factors specific to your project and property. We evaluate the scope and complexity of the job, the type and quantity of materials required, whether permits and inspections are needed, and the condition of your existing electrical system. Older Atlanta homes that require upgrades to meet the 2023 National Electrical Code may involve additional work compared to newer construction.

Atlanta homeowners may also qualify for programs and rebates through Georgia Power or other local resources that can help reduce the cost of panel upgrades, EV charger installations, and other electrical improvements. We put the full scope of work in writing so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. Give us a call at 678-665-2309 to schedule yours.
