Kalahari Electrical Services is a local provider of electrical repairs, upgrades, and more. We’ve been serving the Vinings area for over 24 years and are dedicated to offering high-quality electrical work.
We’re on a mission to bring safe and reliable electrical craftsmanship to support the homeowners and businesses of Vinings.
Vinings is an unincorporated community in Cobb County, tucked between the Chattahoochee River and the Cumberland area, and its housing tells the story of decades of growth. Gracious established homes and estates line Paces Ferry Road and Mount Wilkinson, while newer luxury townhomes and condos cluster closer to the Battery, with the historic Vinings village anchoring it all.
Each type of property brings its own electrical questions. In the older homes, we regularly find panels sized for a different era, two-prong outlets without grounding, and branch circuits that strain under modern HVAC, kitchen appliances, and home offices. Some of these houses may still hide outdated wiring behind the walls, which is worth a professional inspection before any renovation. In the townhome and condo communities near Cumberland, the requests look different: Level 2 EV charger installations, dedicated circuits for finished basements and additions, whole-home surge protection, and smart lighting. Add heavy summer storms and the mature tree cover along the river, and outages and generator interest round out the picture. Kalahari Electrical Services, licensed and insured under GA license EN213186, handles all of it for Vinings homeowners with background-checked technicians and 24/7 emergency service.

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!

Vinings is one of Cobb County’s most established communities, known for its affluent older neighborhoods and a growing number of condo and townhome residents. Because the housing stock spans so many decades, electrical upgrades are a routine part of homeownership here, from panel replacements in longtime family homes to EV charger circuits in newer units.
If you are planning electrical work, the utilities that serve Cobb County offer several programs that can help offset the cost of qualifying upgrades.
Since Vinings is an unincorporated community, permits are handled at the county level. You’ll have to apply for an electrical permit through Cobb County if you’re planning any upgrades or major repairs.
To apply for a permit, you’ll have to gather a few documents and bring them to 1150 Powder Springs Street, Marietta, GA, or email residentialpermitreview@cobbcounty.gov.
You can find out more about this process on the county’s official website.
In most cases, your contractor will handle the permitting process and apply on your behalf. It’s best to leave this up to your contractor since the application packet requires detailed plans of the electrical upgrades.
Before hiring an electrical contractor for your project, make sure they have a valid license. You can check by visiting the Georgia Secretary of State website.
For instance, if you look up Kalahari Electrical Services, you’ll find our license number (EN213186).
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.
Georgia Power offers several incentives, including rebates for home energy assessments, smart thermostats, and a Level 2 EV charger when installed by a licensed electrician.
Cobb EMC also has a few rebates, including savings on EV chargers, smart thermostats, and other energy-efficient improvements for your home.
To contact Georgia Power, call 888-660-5890 or visit its website.
You can reach Cobb EMC at 770-429-2100
When it comes to natural gas, residents can choose between Gas South, Georgia Natural Gas, SCANA Energy, and others. You can find contact information for these different providers on the Vinings website.
Cobb County is your local water utility. You can contact the water department at 770-419-6200.
To report a power outage in Vinings, contact Georgia Power online or use Cobb EMC’s online outage platform, depending on which utility serves your home.
Call 911 and stay away from the downed power lines. Once it’s safe to do so, you can contact your electric utility.

Kalahari Electrical Services handles panel upgrades and replacements, whole-home rewiring, EV charger installation, generator installation, surge protection, lighting, outlet and switch work, troubleshooting, and safety inspections across Vinings and the 30339 zip code. Our background-checked technicians complete every job to the 2023 National Electrical Code, which Georgia adopted statewide on January 1, 2025, and we back the work with a satisfaction guarantee.
The split housing stock in Vinings drives two very different sets of problems. In the established homes near Paces Ferry Road and Mount Wilkinson, we see undersized panels, ungrounded two-prong outlets, and wiring that may predate modern load requirements. In the newer townhomes and condos near Cumberland and the Battery, the common requests are EV charger circuits, added capacity for renovations, and surge protection. Storm-related outages and flickering power round out the list.
Yes. Kalahari Electrical Services holds Georgia electrical contractor license EN213186 and is fully insured. We are a family-owned company that has served metro Atlanta since 2001, we send background-checked technicians on every Vinings call, and we stand behind the work with a satisfaction guarantee. Our track record shows in a 4.9-star Google rating and an A+ rating with the BBB.
Yes. Vinings is unincorporated, so electrical permits run through Cobb County rather than a city office. Applications go to the county at 1150 Powder Springs Street in Marietta or by email to residentialpermitreview@cobbcounty.gov. As your licensed contractor, we prepare the plans, apply on your behalf, and coordinate the final county inspection, which keeps your panel upgrade, rewiring, or EV charger project fully documented and code compliant.
Yes, we offer emergency and same-day electrical service to Vinings residents. Electrical emergencies like sparking outlets, burning smells, or sudden power loss in part of your home should never wait. If you’re experiencing an emergency, call us at 678-665-2309 right away. For power outages affecting your area, you can also report them through Georgia Power or Cobb EMC’s online platforms, depending on which utility serves your home.
Every Vinings project is priced on its own scope. A panel replacement in an established Paces Ferry home involves different labor, materials, and Cobb County permitting than a dedicated EV circuit in a Cumberland-area townhome. The age and condition of your existing wiring, any code upgrades required under the 2023 National Electrical Code, and the materials involved all factor in. We provide upfront, itemized pricing before any work begins, so call 678-665-2309 to schedule an assessment.
Many Vinings homes along Paces Ferry Road and Mount Wilkinson date back decades, and their electrical systems were designed for much smaller loads. Older panels, two-prong ungrounded outlets, and aging wiring may struggle with modern HVAC, kitchen appliances, and EV charging. Newer condos and townhomes usually have sound wiring but limited spare capacity for additions. An electrical inspection tells you exactly where your home stands before you invest in upgrades.
Often, yes. Installing a Level 2 charger at a Vinings townhome or condo depends on your panel capacity, the distance to your parking space, and approval from your HOA or condo association where one applies. We evaluate the electrical side, install the dedicated circuit, and pull the required Cobb County permit. Georgia Power and Cobb EMC have both offered rebates for EV chargers installed by a licensed electrician, so ask about current programs.
