Norcross residents served by Georgia Power may qualify for rebates that offset the cost of electrical upgrades. The city's historic Old Town district, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, includes some of the oldest housing stock in Gwinnett County, so upgrades like rewiring and panel replacements are especially common here. Check with Georgia Power's website for current program details and eligibility before starting your project.
