Looking for a dependable Electrician in Brookhaven, GA? Kalahari Electrical Services helps homeowners across this established Atlanta-area community keep their electrical systems safe, code-compliant, and ready for everyday life. Brookhaven blends older residences with newer construction, and that mix means a wide range of electrical needs under one roof. Homes built in earlier decades often have aging wiring, undersized panels, or too few outlets for the way families live today, while newer and renovated properties call for added circuits, smart-home wiring, and reliable lighting.
Our licensed electricians handle it all: panel upgrades and replacements, rewiring and circuit additions, outlet and switch installation, indoor and outdoor lighting, ceiling fans, surge protection, EV charger installation, and troubleshooting for flickering lights or tripping breakers. Whether you own a long-standing Brookhaven home or a recently updated one, we deliver clean, careful workmanship and clear communication on every job.
Our most requested residential services in Brookhaven are electrical panel upgrades, replacing outdated fuse boxes or undersized breaker panels with modern 200-amp service. Brookhaven electricians on our team also perform whole-home rewiring for older ranch and brick homes, Level 2 EV charger installation, and knob-and-tube wiring inspections. We install whole-home surge protection as well, a smart investment given Georgia’s frequent thunderstorms and lightning activity.
Every job is permitted through the City of Brookhaven and inspected to current code. Whether you are planning a kitchen remodel that requires new dedicated circuits, adding outdoor lighting, or upgrading your home’s service entrance, our licensed team handles all permitting, installation, and inspection coordination so the process stays simple from start to finish.

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!

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.

Yes, we pull permits for Brookhaven jobs as part of the work. Because the city incorporated in 2012 and runs its own permitting, applications go to the City of Brookhaven Planning and Community Development Department rather than DeKalb County, and filings and inspection scheduling run through the city’s EnerGov Citizen Self Service Portal. For homes near the city limits, we confirm jurisdiction first so the right office reviews the project.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency electrical service in Brookhaven, plus same-day appointments when the schedule allows. Sparking outlets, burning smells, a hot panel, or a partial loss of power should be checked right away, so call us at 678-665-2309. If your whole street is dark, the outage is likely on the utility side; report it to Georgia Power at 1-888-891-0938.
Every project is different, so pricing depends on scope, the age and condition of your wiring and panel, materials and equipment, City of Brookhaven permit and inspection requirements, and how accessible the work area is. You receive a written estimate before any work starts. Georgia Power has historically offered rebates on upgrades such as Level 2 EV chargers, which may offset part of a project. Call 678-665-2309 to schedule your estimate.
Often, yes. New construction meets code on day one, but code minimums do not always match how owners actually use the home. The additions we make most in Brookhaven’s newer townhomes are Level 2 EV charger circuits, dedicated circuits for finished basements and home offices, and whole-home surge protection. Before adding a charger, we verify that the panel has capacity for the extra load and pull the required City of Brookhaven permit.
