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 decide they would rewire the whole thing. They did not charge extra and were still in and out fast. We have used several other companies but will not ever again.
– Michael C.
He came out the same day/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…not to mention the rates were very reasonable. I will never use another electrician. Jan far exceeded my expectations and that is saying a lot. He even called to follow-up and make sure there were no issues. FIRST CLASS SERVICE!

Located in Barrow County, Bethlehem is a charming community that’s growing steadily.

Read on for some helpful resources specific to Bethlehem and Barrow County.
Before you can do any electrical work in your home or business, you’ll have to get a permit. The Barrow County Planning & Community Development is in charge of issuing permits, and you can apply for one online via the county’s self-service portal.
If you have any questions about this process, contact the Planning & Community Development department at 770-307-3000 or visit your local government building at 30 North Broad Street, Winder, GA 30680.
Note that applying for an electrical permit requires filing detailed plans of the work to be completed. It’s usually best to let your contractor handle this part of the process. In fact, licensed electrical contractors can apply for a permit on your behalf and coordinate a county inspection when the work is done.
Before hiring an electrical contractor for your project, make sure they have a valid license. You can check by visiting the Georgia Secretary of State website
For instance, if you look up Kalahari Electrical Services, you’ll find our license number (EN213186).
Getting a permit takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on how complex your project is.
You’ll have to pay a permit fee, which can vary based on the size of your home and the value of the project.
Licensed electricians like the experts from Kalahari Electrical Services can apply for an electrical permit on your behalf, and handle the final inspection with the city or county’s building department.

Kalahari Electrical Services covers the full range of residential and commercial electrical work in Bethlehem: panel replacements and upgrades, whole-home rewiring, new circuits for HVAC equipment and EV chargers, outlet and switch replacement, lighting, surge protection, and generator connections. Georgia adopted the 2023 National Electrical Code on January 1, 2025, so we also help Bethlehem homeowners bring older systems in line with current safety standards. Every job is handled by a licensed, professionally trained technician.
Bethlehem features a mix of historic homes and newer developments in Barrow County, and each comes with its own set of electrical challenges. Older homes often have outdated panels, aging wiring, and insufficient circuits that struggle to support modern appliances, HVAC systems, and EV chargers. Newer construction may need additional circuits or upgraded outlets to meet the requirements of the recently adopted 2023 National Electrical Code. We regularly help Bethlehem homeowners address issues such as:
Yes. Kalahari Electrical Services holds Georgia electrical contractor license EN213186 and carries full insurance, so the work we perform in Bethlehem and throughout Barrow County is properly credentialed and protected. We are a family-owned company that has served the metro Atlanta area since 2001. Our technicians are background-checked, we back every project with a satisfaction guarantee, and our track record shows in our 4.9-star Google rating and A+ BBB rating.

Yes. Electrical work in Bethlehem is permitted through Barrow County Planning and Community Development, which you can reach at 770-307-3000 or through the county’s online self-service portal. As a licensed contractor, we file the permit application on your behalf, prepare the required plans, and schedule the county inspection once the work is finished. You get a fully code-compliant project without handling any of the paperwork yourself.
Yes, we offer emergency and same-day electrical service to Bethlehem residents. Electrical emergencies like sparking outlets, burning smells, or a loss of power to part of your home should never wait. Give us a call at 678-665-2309 and we will work to get a trained technician to your Bethlehem home as quickly as possible. For full power outages, you should also contact your utility provider: Walton EMC at 678-639-3300 or Jackson EMC at 800-245-4044, depending on which serves your area.
Every Bethlehem project is priced on its own details, so we never quote a number before we understand the job. The main factors are the scope of the work, the age and condition of your existing wiring and panel, whether Barrow County permits and inspections apply, material requirements under the 2023 NEC, and how accessible the wiring and equipment are. We provide upfront, itemized pricing before any work begins. Call 678-665-2309 to schedule.
Yes. Panel replacements, service upgrades, new circuits, and most other electrical work in Bethlehem require a permit from Barrow County Planning and Community Development in Winder. The application asks for detailed plans of the proposed work, which is why most homeowners let their contractor handle it. Kalahari Electrical Services applies for the permit, completes the work to code, and coordinates the county inspection so your project is documented properly from start to finish.
Newer subdivisions around Bethlehem were wired to the code in force when they were built, but builders typically install only the capacity a standard household needed at the time. Add an EV charger, a finished bonus room, a workshop, or a hot tub and the original panel and circuit layout can run short. Tripping breakers and warm outlets are common warning signs. We add dedicated circuits and upgrade capacity so newer homes keep up with growing demand.
