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 Dunwoody

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

What electrical services does Kalahari Electrical offer in Dunwoody?

We handle residential and commercial electrical work throughout Dunwoody, including panel upgrades, rewiring for homes built in the 1970s and 1980s, dedicated circuits, indoor and outdoor lighting, EV charger installation, surge protection, generator installation, and troubleshooting and repair. From single-outlet fixes in established neighborhoods to larger projects for businesses near the Perimeter area, every job is completed by background-checked technicians and backed by our satisfaction guarantee.

What are the most common electrical problems in Dunwoody homes?

Many Dunwoody homes were built in the 1960s and 1970s, which means we frequently encounter outdated wiring, undersized electrical panels, and circuits that were never designed to handle today's appliance loads.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.

  • Outdated or deteriorating wiring that poses fire risks
  • Panels that lack capacity for modern electrical demands
  • Insufficient or missing dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances
  • Outlets and switches that no longer comply with current code requirements

If your Dunwoody home falls into this age range, upgrading your electrical system is a great way to add value and improve safety.

Is Kalahari Electrical licensed and insured to work in Dunwoody?

Yes. Kalahari Electrical Services holds Georgia electrical contractor license EN213186 and is fully insured. We are a family-owned company that has served the Atlanta area since 2001, with a 4.9-star Google rating and an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. Our technicians are background-checked, and every project we complete in Dunwoody is covered by our satisfaction guarantee. You can verify our license through the Georgia Secretary of State license lookup.

Do you handle electrical permits in Dunwoody?

Yes. Most electrical projects inside Dunwoody city limits require a single trade component permit from the City of Dunwoody, which accepts applications through its online platform. We handle the permit paperwork and inspections for our customers, which keeps projects moving and ensures the work is documented correctly. If you have questions, City Hall can be reached at 678-382-6700 or at 4800 Ashford Dunwoody Road. Homes outside city limits apply through DeKalb County instead.

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

Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency electrical service to Dunwoody homes and businesses. Sparking outlets, burning smells, buzzing panels, or losing power to part of your home are all reasons to call us right away at 678-665-2309. If your whole street is dark, the cause is usually the grid. Report the outage to Georgia Power at 888-891-0938, then call us if power returns but something in your home still is not working.

How is the cost of electrical work in Dunwoody determined?

Every Dunwoody project is priced on its own details: the scope of work, the age and condition of the existing system, whether a City of Dunwoody permit is needed, the materials specified, and any code upgrades required under the 2023 National Electrical Code. We put the full scope of work in writing before work begins, and we can point you to Georgia Power rebates on qualifying items such as EV chargers, smart thermostats, and electric dryers. Call 678-665-2309 for an estimate.

Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade or EV charger in Dunwoody?

In most cases, yes. Panel replacements, new circuits, and EV charger installations in Dunwoody typically require a single trade component permit from the city, applied for through its online portal, with DeKalb County handling homes outside city limits. Permit review can take a few days, so build that into your project timeline. As your contractor, we submit the application and technical details for you and coordinate the inspection once the work is complete.
