24/7 Emergency Electrician
Our emergency electricians are available nights, weekends and holidays for anything that can't safely wait.
Simple, Predictable Process
Tell a licensed electrician what's happening. We book a same-day or scheduled visit and give you an arrival window.
We test the system, find the real cause and check for related safety issues — before any demolition.
You get a clear, flat-rate price and your options explained — before any work begins.
We complete the work to code, pull permits when required, and keep the area clean.
We test everything, show you the result, register your warranty and answer questions.
Pricing & Estimates
We quote flat-rate prices, not open-ended hourly bills, so you get an affordable electrical service without a surprise invoice. You approve the number before we start, and it doesn't change unless the scope does — with your sign-off.
Electrical faults hide inside walls and panels. A short on-site diagnostic lets us give you an accurate fixed price instead of a vague range — and it catches related safety issues before they become the next emergency.
We provide an upfront quote for planned work like lighting, EV chargers, panel upgrades and rewires. For repairs, a modest diagnostic fee covers the visit and testing, and it's credited toward the repair when you proceed.
Our Core Service
Electrical repair is the diagnostic and corrective work that restores a home's wiring, outlets, switches, fixtures and panel to safe, reliable operation. It's more than swapping a part — a proper repair traces the fault back to its source so the problem doesn't return or hide a safety hazard behind the wall.
Call promptly if you notice a burning or fishy smell near outlets or the panel, scorch marks, crackling or sizzling sounds, outlets that are hot to the touch, repeated shocks from switches or appliances, or lights that surge bright then dim. These point to loose connections, overloaded circuits or failing wiring that can lead to an electrical fire.
We start with a full diagnostic: testing circuits, checking terminations at outlets and the panel, measuring load and voltage drop, and using thermal and tone tools to find hot spots and breaks inside walls. You get a written explanation of the cause, a flat-rate price to fix it, and code-compliant repairs backed by our workmanship warranty. Where a repair is really a symptom of an undersized or obsolete system, we'll tell you honestly and lay out the options.
Smoke, sparks, a hot panel, exposed or arcing wires, a burning smell that won't clear, or a total loss of power in extreme heat or cold are emergencies. Shut off the affected breaker if you can do so safely and call our 24/7 line — don't wait for regular hours.
Problem → Solution
If you're searching for the problem instead of "an electrician," you're in the right place.
These older panels are known fire hazards that can fail to trip under a fault. We replace them with a modern, labeled 200-amp panel — permitted and inspected.
Adding a circuit with no open slots? We install a sub-panel or upgrade the service so future projects aren't blocked.
Usually over-voltage, loose sockets, heat buildup or vibration. We check voltage and connections rather than just selling you more bulbs.
Often a tripped GFCI, water intrusion or a failed weatherproof cover. We restore power and make the receptacle code-compliant and sealed.
Common in 1965–1975 homes and a real fire risk at connections. We remediate with approved connectors (COPALUM/AlumiConn) or rewire.
A sign of too few circuits. We add properly sized dedicated circuits and outlets so nothing is overloaded.
Roof leak, flooding or condensation in the panel needs immediate attention — corrosion causes arcing. We assess and replace what's compromised.
We run the load calculation, install the dedicated circuit, and upgrade the service or panel only if the numbers actually require it.
Who We Work For
Repairs, safety upgrades, lighting, EV chargers, panels and rewires — from a single outlet to a whole-house project.
Fast turnarounds between tenants, code-correction work, smoke/CO detector compliance, and documented invoices for your records.
One reliable electrician across your portfolio, scheduled work orders, and clear communication with tenants and owners.
Pre-listing electrical inspections and quick punch-list repairs so financing and closing aren't held up by the inspection report.

Tenant build-outs, lighting retrofits, dedicated equipment circuits and after-hours work that keeps your doors open. Commercial electrician →

Local Expertise
Many homes near downtown Lawrenceville still run 60–100 amp services, two-prong outlets and cloth-insulated wiring that needs careful upgrading rather than a rip-out.
Collins Hill, Five Forks and Rivermist homes often have builder-grade panels now near capacity, and Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels that should be replaced.
Newer Sugarloaf and Hamilton Mill homes need EV circuits, surge protection, bonus-room wiring and smart-home upgrades the original build skipped.
Summer heat pushes AC loads to the limit and frequent lightning makes whole-house surge protection a genuine investment here, not an upsell.
Severe thunderstorms and the occasional ice event knock out power across Gwinnett — standby generators and proper transfer switches keep essentials running.
More Lawrenceville homeowners are adding dedicated circuits for offices, garage gyms and detached shops than ever before.
Equipment We Install & Service

Helpful Tips
Test GFCI and AFCI breakers monthly, replace hardwired smoke detectors every 10 years, and have the panel checked if your home is over 25 years old or you've never had it inspected.
Chaining power strips, using extension cords as permanent wiring, oversizing a breaker to stop tripping, and DIY outlet swaps with the wrong wire gauge — all real fire risks.
Swapping a like-for-like light fixture is reasonable DIY. Anything touching the panel, adding circuits, aluminum wiring, or work that needs a permit should be done by a licensed electrician.
Get an independent electrical inspection — especially for panel brand, service size, wiring type and GFCI coverage. It's cheap leverage in negotiations.
Whole-house surge protection plus point-of-use protectors on electronics, and know where your main breaker is so you can cut power fast if needed.
EV chargers, hot tubs, tankless water heaters and shop tools often need a load calculation and sometimes a service upgrade. Ask before you buy the equipment.

FAQ
Yes. We hold a current Georgia electrical contractor license and carry full general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. We’re happy to provide proof of both before any work starts — reputable contractors always will, and you should be cautious of anyone who won’t.
You get a flat-rate price you approve before any work starts, a written workmanship warranty, and a licensed, background-checked electrician — not a subcontractor bid out to the lowest offer. That combination is why most of our calls come from repeat customers and referrals.
We do. Our emergency line is answered by a real person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. If you have a burning smell, sparking, a panel that’s hot to the touch or a total loss of power, call immediately — those situations don’t wait until Monday.
We charge by the job, not the hour — so you know the price before any work starts. A diagnostic visit, a fixture swap and a standard outlet repair are each a flat rate. Larger projects (panel upgrades, rewires, generator installations) get a firm written quote after a site assessment. Pricing is the same whether you’re in Lawrenceville, Suwanee or anywhere else in our Gwinnett County service area — no hidden travel fees.
Most often an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, a ground fault, or a worn-out breaker. It's the breaker doing its job — never replace it with a larger one. We test the load and the breaker and trace the circuit to fix the cause.
If your home still has a 100-amp panel, if breakers trip regularly under normal household load, if the panel is a Federal Pacific or Zinsco brand, or if you’re adding a high-draw appliance like an EV charger or heat pump, an upgrade is likely overdue. We can do a load calculation to tell you definitively.
Yes. We install Level 2 (240-volt) EV chargers from Tesla, ChargePoint, Emporia and other major brands. The job includes a dedicated 40- or 50-amp circuit from the panel, the charger mount and wiring, and the Gwinnett County permit and inspection. Most installations take half a day.
It can be. Whole-house flickering usually points to a loose connection at the panel, the meter base or the service entrance — not a bad bulb. Loose connections arc, and arcing generates heat that can start a fire. If the flickering is persistent or getting worse, schedule a diagnostic visit soon rather than waiting.
If your home was built before 1975 and still has the original wiring, it likely needs at least a targeted upgrade. Knob-and-tube (pre-1950), cloth-insulated (1950s–70s) and aluminum branch wiring (late 1960s–mid 1970s) all present specific risks that worsen with age. An inspection tells you what you have and what to do about it.
We serve Lawrenceville, all of Gwinnett County (Suwanee, Duluth, Snellville, Lilburn, Buford, Dacula, Grayson) and the metro Atlanta area including Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Buckhead, Midtown, Virginia-Highland, Chamblee, Doraville, College Park, East Point and more. See our full service area list for every city we cover.
In most cases, yes. For emergencies we’re typically on site within 45 minutes. For non-emergency repairs and diagnostics, we usually have same-day or next-day availability depending on the season. Summer and storm season are our busiest periods, so calling early in the day helps.
For straightforward work (an outlet replacement, a fixture swap, a charger install) we quote over the phone at no charge. For anything that requires hands-on diagnosis — a flickering-lights investigation, a panel assessment, a troubleshooting call — there’s a diagnostic fee that’s applied to the repair if you proceed.
Yes. All workmanship carries our warranty, and the parts and equipment we install are covered by their manufacturer’s warranty. If something we installed fails or a connection we made loosens, we come back and fix it at no cost. We stand behind our work because we expect it to last.
