Electrician in Marietta, GA

Marietta homeowners call us most often for panel upgrades to 200-amp service, Level 2 EV charger installation, whole-home generators with automatic transfer switches, and partial or full rewiring of older houses. We also install lighting, add outlets and dedicated circuits, provide surge protection, and perform electrical safety inspections. From a historic property near the Marietta Square to a newer infill build, our licensed technicians complete every job safely and to code.

Marietta’s housing spans early 1900s homes near the Square, mid-century neighborhoods along Whitlock Avenue and Powder Springs Road, and newer infill construction. Older homes may still have knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, ungrounded outlets, and missing GFCI protection in kitchens and bathrooms. Mid-century houses often run on panels too small for modern appliances and EV chargers. If you notice flickering lights, warm outlets, or breakers that trip repeatedly, schedule an electrical safety inspection promptly.

Cost depends on the specifics of your Marietta home and project. Scope matters most, such as a single new circuit versus a whole-house rewire, along with the age and condition of your existing wiring, the panel size or generator capacity specified, permit and inspection requirements from the City of Marietta Building Division, and how accessible the wiring routes are. We provide upfront, itemized pricing before any work begins, and we can point you to programs like the Georgia Power Level 2 EV charger rebate. Call 678-665-2309 to schedule.

Yes. Panel upgrades, new circuit installations, EV charger wiring, and generator hookups all require a permit from the City of Marietta Building Division when the property sits inside city limits. Permits and inspections are managed through the Marietta Accela Citizen Access Portal, and a licensed and insured electrician is typically required to pull them. Kalahari Electrical handles the permit application and coordinates the inspection as part of the job.

Not automatically, but it is worth checking. Homes from the early 1900s near the Marietta Square may contain knob-and-tube or cloth-covered wiring, and some houses from the 1960s and 1970s may have aluminum branch circuits. None of these are an emergency on their own, but they deserve a professional inspection before you add an EV charger, new appliances, or an addition. An electrical safety inspection will tell you whether rewiring or a panel upgrade makes sense.
