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.

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!

Many Dunwoody homes were built in the 1960s and 1970s, which means we frequently encounter outdated wiring, undersized electrical panels, and circuits that were never designed to handle today’s appliance loads. As of January 1, 2025, Georgia adopted the 2023 National Electrical Code, introducing updated safety standards that many of these older homes do not yet meet.
If your Dunwoody home falls into this age range, upgrading your electrical system is a great way to add value and improve safety.
