Common Electrical Issues in Lawrenceville

In January 2025, Georgia adopted the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC). Before listing their home or getting permits, homeowners often need electrical upgrades.

Lawrenceville has a mix of homes, from older historic houses to newer builds. Still, most of them don’t have enough electrical capacity to meet modern needs, such as charging electric cars or running heat pumps, which are becoming more common in Georgia.

The hot, humid weather and heavy air conditioner use also put a lot of stress on electrical systems, which means they need more maintenance over time.

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 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!

– 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.

Rebates, Incentives, and Lawrenceville Info

Did you know Lawrenceville is the second oldest city in the metro Atlanta area? It’s grown since then and is now known for its historical downtown neighborhood and for being a regional center for businesses, healthcare, and education.

If you’re planning an electrical project in Lawrenceville, there are a few resources you should be familiar with.

City and County Resources

If you live within city limits, you’ll have to get an electrical permit from the City of Lawrenceville Planning & Development Department.

You can apply online on their official website, or contact the department at 678-407-6583 or visit the office at 70 S Clayton Street, City Hall Main Level, Lawrenceville, GA 30046.

If you live outside of city limits, your project falls under the authority of Gwinnett County’s Building Services. You can apply for an electrical permit online, thanks to the county’s ZIP Portal. Use that same portal for scheduling an inspection once the work is done. If you have any questions, contact Gwinnett County’s Building Services at 770-822-8000 or visit the office at 75 Langley Drive, Lawrenceville, GA 30046.

In both cases, you’ll have to get a permit for any project that includes modifying your electrical infrastructure.

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.

To make sure you’re working with a licensed electrician, you can use the Georgia Secretary of State website.
