When you need a dependable electrician in Stone Mountain, you want someone who understands the homes here. Stone Mountain sits in eastern DeKalb County beside the granite dome of Stone Mountain Park, and its housing stock runs from the historic cottages and bungalows of the downtown Village along Main Street to the brick ranches and split-levels built through the 1960s and 70s, plus the newer subdivisions that filled in toward Smoke Rise and Hugh Howell Road. Many of these older homes still rely on undersized service panels, two-prong ungrounded outlets, and aluminum or original branch wiring that struggle with today’s air conditioning, EV chargers, and home offices.
Tripping breakers, flickering lights, and outlets that no longer hold a plug are common calls we get from this area. Whether you own a vintage place near the Village or a mid-century home off Memorial Drive or Rockbridge Road, Kalahari Electrical Services brings code-current electrical work that fits how Stone Mountain families actually live.
Kalahari Electrical Services focuses on the upgrades Stone Mountain homeowners need most. Our residential electrician in Stone Mountain team handles electrical panel upgrades from outdated 60 or 100 amp service to a modern 200 amp panel, whole-home rewiring to replace aging or aluminum wiring, and whole-home surge protection to guard against Georgia’s frequent lightning storms. We also install Level 2 EV chargers, including the dedicated 240-volt circuit and any panel work required to support them safely.

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!

Stone Mountain’s housing stock spans more than a century, from historic village homes built in the late 1800s to ranch and split-level houses from the 1950s through 1970s.
