When you need an electrician in North Druid Hills, you want a team that understands the kind of homes that fill this corner of DeKalb County. North Druid Hills sits just inside I-285 near Emory University and the CDC, and its established neighborhoods like LaVista Park, Sagamore Hills, Briarcliff Woods, and the area around Toco Hills are full of mid-century ranches and split-levels built largely from the 1950s through the 1970s. These homes are well-loved and solidly built, but their electrical systems were designed for a very different era.
It is common to find original fuse boxes or undersized panels, ungrounded two-prong outlets, and aging cloth-insulated wiring that struggles to keep up with modern HVAC loads, kitchen appliances, home offices, and EV chargers. Mature tree cover throughout the area also means summer storms and falling limbs can stress service lines and trigger outages. Kalahari Electrical Services handles these older-home challenges every day, from panel upgrades and rewiring to grounded outlets, surge protection, and dedicated circuits.
Kalahari Electrical Services specializes in panel upgrades, whole-home rewiring, multifamily electrical work, and EV charger installation for North Druid residents.

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!

North Druid is an unincorporated census-designated place in DeKalb County, known for established neighborhoods like LaVista Park, Sagamore Hills, and parts of Toco Hills. Because it is unincorporated, all permitting and code enforcement runs through DeKalb County rather than a city government. Georgia Power serves the area and offers a $250 rebate for qualifying Level 2 smart EV charger installations, which can help offset the cost of adding an EV charger to your home.
Because North Druid is unincorporated, residential electrical permits are issued by the DeKalb County Planning and Sustainability Department, not a city office. Applications are submitted through DeKalb County’s ePermitting system online, and inspections are scheduled after permits are approved and work begins. It is good practice to verify the exact jurisdiction for your address using DeKalb County’s GIS or property search tools.

Because many North Druid homes were built between the 1950s and 1970s, we frequently encounter outdated fuse boxes, ungrounded two-prong outlets, and aging cloth-insulated wiring. These older electrical systems were not designed to support today’s energy demands, so overloaded panels and insufficient circuit capacity are very common issues.
If your home has any of these conditions, we recommend scheduling an electrical safety inspection so we can assess your system and recommend the right solution.
