Electrical Services | Alpharetta GA

Got called to a home near the East of Main neighborhood in Alpharetta where the homeowner had a portable generator they had been using during outages but had been running extension cords through a window every time the power went out. Wanted a proper interlock and inlet so they could safely connect the portable generator to the home's circuits without backfeeding the utility line. Installed a generator inlet box on the exterior of the home, ran a properly sized connection to the main panel, and installed a mechanical interlock kit that prevents the main breaker and the generator breaker from both being on at the same time. Walked the homeowner through the connection procedure and tested it with their generator running to confirm proper transfer. Safer, cleaner, and no more extension cords out the window.

Arrived at a home near the Haynes Bridge area of Alpharetta where the homeowner was in the middle of a kitchen remodel and needed a dedicated 240-volt circuit installed for the new electric range being delivered the following week. The old gas range location had a capped gas line and no electrical supply at all, so this was a full run from the panel. Routed a new circuit from the panel through the wall and into the kitchen, installed a properly rated 4-prong outlet at the range location, added a double-pole breaker, and pressure-tested the outlet for correct voltage and phasing before the countertop went back in. Appliance delivery crew connected the range the next morning without a single issue.

Pulled up to a home in the Avensong neighborhood in Alpharetta where the homeowner had just installed a new video doorbell and a smart lock on the front door and neither of them was holding a reliable charge or staying connected to the network. Found the doorbell transformer in the panel closet was an original low-voltage unit from the late 1990s that could not supply the consistent wattage the new smart devices required. Replaced the transformer with a modern higher-output unit rated for smart doorbell systems, verified wiring continuity from the transformer to both devices, and tested network connectivity, motion detection, and remote lock operation from the homeowner's phone before leaving. Thirty-year-old doorbell wiring and modern smart devices are not a great combination.

Arrived at a home in the Windward community in Alpharetta where the homeowner had recently installed a hot tub on the back deck and the electrician who sold it to them said it needed a dedicated 240-volt GFCI-protected circuit with a disconnect- which they did not have. Assessed the panel for available capacity, ran a new 50-amp circuit from the panel through conduit to the deck, installed a weatherproof disconnect box within sight of the spa, and connected the GFCI breaker in the panel. Tested the circuit under load with the hot tub running and confirmed proper voltage, grounding, and GFCI response. A spa without a proper dedicated circuit and disconnect is a code violation and a safety issue- this one is done right.

Electrical Repair: Dispatched to investigate a burning smell noticed near the electrical panel during evening hours. Inspected the panel interior and found a double-tapped breaker with a loose wire connection that had been arcing under load, showing visible heat discoloration on the bus bar around it. Removed the double tap, installed a proper tandem breaker, re-secured all wiring, and tested all circuits under load to confirm safe operation with no further heat buildup.

Ceiling Fan Installation: Installed a new ceiling fan with integrated light kit in a living room to replace an older fixture. Verified the ceiling box was fan-rated and properly supported, wired the fan and light to separate wall controls, assembled and balanced the blade assembly, and tested all speed settings and lighting functions to confirm quiet, wobble-free operation.

Electrical Repair: Responded to a homeowner reporting several outlets in the master bedroom had stopped working without a tripped breaker. Traced the circuit and found a failed GFCI outlet in the hallway bathroom that was protecting the downstream bedroom receptacles. Replaced the failed GFCI with a new tamper-resistant unit, tested all downstream outlets for proper voltage and polarity, and confirmed the full circuit was restored before completing the call.

Indoor Lighting Installation: Upgraded a home office with recessed LED lighting to improve brightness. Cut in new recessed housings, connected the lights to a dimmer switch, and adjusted spacing for even illumination across the workspace. Verified smooth dimming and proper circuit performance after installation.

Electrical Installation: Installed a Level 2 EV charging station in a residential garage for a newly purchased electric vehicle. Added a dedicated 240-volt circuit from the main panel, mounted the charger securely on the garage wall, and verified charging performance and breaker operation under full load.
