Smyrna Electricians has been handling residential and commercial electrical work in Smyrna and across Cobb County since 2008. Whether you need a dead outlet fixed today, a full panel upgrade, or wiring for a new addition, we show up ready to work. We're your neighbors, and we treat every job that way. Same-day availability means you're not waiting a week for a licensed electrician to walk through your door. We serve homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners throughout the area, and we keep the process simple from the first call to the final test.
One number. One call. One electrician at your door.
Keeping a home safe starts with the wiring behind the walls, but most people only notice a problem when something stops working. A dead outlet, a light that flickers every time the AC kicks on, a breaker that trips whenever you run the microwave and the coffee maker at the same time. These are the jobs we get called for every day, and we take them seriously regardless of size.
We troubleshoot the problem at the source rather than just resetting a breaker and moving on. That includes diagnosing wiring faults, replacing damaged outlets and switches, installing GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor locations, and sorting out dimmer switch issues that leave lights buzzing or flickering. When you call, we'll give you a clear picture of what the work involves and what it will cost before anything gets touched. We'll trace it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
From older homes to new commercial builds, panel capacity is one of the first things we look at when a customer is adding circuits, upgrading appliances, or experiencing repeated breaker trips. An undersized or aging panel limits what a home can safely run, and in some cases it creates a genuine hazard.
We handle full panel replacements, 200-amp service upgrades, and subpanel installations for garages, workshops, and additions. Every job includes a load calculation to make sure the new panel can carry what the household or business actually needs. We install arc-fault and ground-fault circuit interrupter breakers where code requires them, and all work is done to current code standards. No pressure and no gimmicks, just safe, solid wiring. Call and we'll handle the lights, outlets, and panel.
Your home deserves wiring that's safe and up to code, and that matters even more in houses built before modern electrical standards were established. We rewire older homes where knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring has reached the end of its useful life, improving both safety and insurability. A full rewire also adds real value at resale, since buyers and inspectors notice outdated wiring.
We also run dedicated circuits for dryers, electric ranges, refrigerators, and other high-draw appliances that shouldn't share a circuit with anything else. If you need a 240V outlet for a new appliance or a workshop, we'll run the circuit and install the right outlet for the job. For additions and remodels, we handle all the rough-in and finish wiring so the new space is powered correctly from day one. One ring and we're on it.
If you're not sure your panel can handle the load, a lighting upgrade might reveal the answer quickly. We install recessed lighting, LED retrofits, chandeliers, under-cabinet lighting, and standard light fixtures throughout the home. Recessed and LED lighting are two of the most common requests we get, and for good reason. They improve the look of a space and reduce energy use at the same time.
Ceiling fan installation and replacement is another everyday job we handle quickly. Whether you're adding a fan to a room that doesn't have one, replacing an old unit, or sorting out a fan that wobbles or stops responding to the switch, we'll get it working right. We also install and replace dimmer switches, making sure they're compatible with the fixture and wired safely. We protect your floors and finishes while we work.
Ready to get the power sorted? Outdoor electrical work has its own set of code requirements, and getting it wrong creates real safety risks. We install weatherproof outlets, outdoor lighting, landscape lighting, security lighting, and motion sensor lights. All outdoor wiring and fixtures are installed to meet local code so there are no surprises at inspection.
We also handle more involved exterior jobs, including hot tub wiring and pool electrical hookups. These require dedicated circuits, proper grounding and bonding, and GFCI protection at specific points. Grounding and bonding for pool and spa work is not optional, and we make sure it's done correctly. If you're adding an outdoor space or upgrading what's already there, call us before the project gets underway. Call for a quote and we'll walk through what the job needs.
Cobb County's four-season climate puts real demands on a home's electrical system. Hot summers, cold snaps, and a storm season that brings severe thunderstorms, the occasional tornado, and ice storms mean that power reliability and surge protection are not abstract concerns here. They're practical ones. The three services below come up constantly in this area, and we've built real experience handling each of them.
Many homes in and around Smyrna were built decades ago when electrical demand was a fraction of what it is today. A house that once ran a few appliances and some lights now needs to power EV chargers, home offices, large HVAC loads, and a full suite of kitchen appliances. When the panel can't keep up, you get tripped breakers, limited capacity for new circuits, and potential safety issues. We perform load calculations, handle 200-amp service upgrades, and install code-compliant panels sized for how the home is actually used today. If you're planning an addition or thinking about EV charging, the panel is usually the first conversation.
Georgia storm season is real, and power outages in Cobb County can last longer than anyone wants. We handle the electrical side of generator installation: running the dedicated circuit, installing the transfer switch, and connecting a standby or portable generator so it's ready when the grid goes down. A properly wired transfer switch keeps your generator safely isolated from the utility line, which protects both your equipment and the workers restoring power on the street. We do not service the generator unit itself, but we make sure the wiring and hookup are done right so the system works when it needs to.
The Southeast sees more lightning strikes per year than most of the country, and a single nearby strike can send a damaging surge through every circuit in the house. A whole-home surge protector installed at the panel level catches that spike before it reaches your appliances, electronics, and HVAC equipment. It works alongside proper grounding and bonding to give your home's wiring a solid first line of defense. We install panel-level surge protection as a standalone job or alongside panel upgrades and new circuit work.
Level 2 EV charger installation is one of the fastest-growing requests we handle. A Level 2 charger runs on a 240V dedicated circuit and charges most electric vehicles overnight rather than over several days. Before installation, we check panel capacity and run a load calculation to confirm the existing service can support the new circuit without creating problems elsewhere. We install the circuit, the outlet or hardwired connection, and make sure everything is up to code. Whether you drive a Tesla or any other EV, the electrical work is the same, and we handle it cleanly and correctly.
An electrical inspection is one of the most practical things a homeowner, buyer, or landlord can do. For anyone purchasing a home, a pre-purchase inspection surfaces wiring issues before they become your problem after closing. For landlords and property managers, periodic inspections help confirm rental units meet code and reduce liability. We check panels, wiring, outlets, grounding, and safety devices including hardwired smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. If we find code violations, we document them clearly and can handle the repairs. Prompt response, even for last-minute electrical calls, means we can usually get an inspection scheduled quickly.
Property managers, landlords, and business owners have different needs than a typical homeowner, and we work comfortably in both settings. We handle commercial panel upgrades, office and retail wiring, warehouse electrical work, and electrical rough-in for new construction. If you manage multiple properties or run a business that needs reliable power, we'll work around your schedule to keep disruption to a minimum. We also respond quickly to commercial repair calls because a dead circuit in a retail space or office is not a problem that can wait. Call for a quote and we'll figure out what the job requires.
We work throughout Smyrna and the surrounding area, including Marietta, Kennesaw, Acworth, Powder Springs, Austell, Mableton, Vinings, and Cumberland. If you're in Cobb County or nearby, we can likely get someone out to you the same day. Call to confirm availability in your area.
We offer same-day availability for most calls, and we work every day from 7:30 AM to 10:30 PM. When you call, we'll give you a clear arrival window so you're not left guessing. One ring and we're on it.
Yes, we work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners throughout Smyrna and the surrounding area. The scope of the job does not need to be large to be worth a call. Whether it's a single outlet in a rental unit or a full commercial panel upgrade, we handle it.
Our regular service area covers Smyrna and the surrounding communities in Cobb County, including Marietta, Vinings, Mableton, Austell, Powder Springs, Kennesaw, and Acworth. If you're just outside that list, call us at (678) 626-9789 and we'll let you know if we can get to you.
Repeated breaker trips in the kitchen usually mean a circuit is overloaded or there's a fault in an outlet, appliance, or the wiring itself. Resetting the breaker without finding the cause is not a fix. Call us and we'll diagnose the source, tell you what the work involves, and handle it correctly.
It helps to know which circuits or outlets are affected, whether the problem is new or has been going on for a while, and whether you've noticed anything unusual like a burning smell, flickering, or sparking. That information helps us arrive with the right parts and gives you a more accurate estimate over the phone.
We'll walk through the problem with you, diagnose the cause, and explain what the repair or installation involves before any work begins. You'll know what it costs before we start. We protect your floors and finishes while we work and test everything before we leave.
If half your home has lost power but the other half is fine, the most common cause is a tripped double-pole breaker or a problem at the service entrance. Check your panel first for any tripped breakers. If resetting doesn't restore power, call us right away, as service-entrance issues need to be looked at by a licensed electrician.
Yes, older homes are a regular part of what we do in this area. We handle knob-and-tube replacement, aluminum branch-circuit wiring remediation, partial and whole-home rewires, and panel upgrades for homes that were built before modern electrical demands existed. We'll assess what the home actually needs and walk you through the options.
The cost depends on the scope of the job, the condition of the existing wiring and panel, permit requirements, and how much access the work requires. We discuss pricing upfront and walk through what the job involves before anything gets started. There are no surprise charges added after the fact.
For most jobs, yes. We need access to the affected areas and the panel, and we'll want to walk through the work with you before we begin. If you're scheduling on behalf of a tenant or property, let us know when you call and we'll work out the details.

From a single dead outlet to a full panel upgrade, we handle the electrical work that keeps Smyrna homes and businesses running safely. Every job gets the same attention whether it is a quick repair or a major installation. Below is a look at the services we provide, who they are best suited for, and what is worth knowing before you call.
| Electrical Service | What It Covers | When You Need It | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | dryer and range circuits, refrigerator and dishwasher circuits, 240V outlet installation, workshop circuits | homeowners adding a major appliance, setting up a workshop, or replacing shared circuits that trip under load | High-draw appliances need their own circuit. Sharing a circuit with other loads causes trips and can shorten appliance life. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation | new outlet installation, GFCI and AFCI outlets, dimmer switch installation, outlet relocation | homeowners adding convenience, upgrading safety devices, or bringing older rooms up to code | Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations all require GFCI protection under current code. We make sure the right devices go in the right places. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation | new fan installation, fan replacement, wobble and switch troubleshooting, fan-rated box installation | homeowners adding comfort to a room or replacing a fan that wobbles, hums, or has stopped responding | Ceiling fans require a fan-rated electrical box. If one is not already in place, we install the correct box before mounting the fan. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection | panel-level surge protector installation, grounding and bonding checks, combined surge and panel work | homeowners in the Southeast where lightning and grid fluctuations put appliances and electronics at real risk | A panel-level surge protector catches voltage spikes before they reach your circuits. It works best alongside proper grounding and bonding throughout the home. |
| Wiring for Additions & Remodels | rough-in wiring, finish wiring, permit-ready installations, new room circuits | homeowners adding a room, finishing a basement, or remodeling a kitchen or bathroom | We handle all electrical rough-in and finish work so the new space is powered correctly and ready for inspection from day one. |
| Backup Generator Installation | transfer switch installation, dedicated generator circuit, standby and portable hookups, utility isolation | Cobb County homeowners who have experienced extended outages during storm season and want reliable backup power | A properly wired transfer switch keeps the generator safely isolated from the utility line, protecting both your equipment and line workers restoring power nearby. We handle the wiring and hookup; the generator unit is serviced separately. |
| Electrical Panel UpgradesMost Popular | 200-amp service upgrades, full panel replacements, subpanel installation, load calculations | homeowners with an aging or undersized panel, anyone planning an EV charger, or homes being prepped for an addition | Many Smyrna homes were built when electrical demand was far lower than it is today. A load calculation confirms whether your current service can handle what you are running now and what you plan to add. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting | dead outlets and switches, flickering or dimming lights, wiring fault diagnosis, GFCI replacement | homeowners and landlords dealing with an electrical problem that needs a same-day fix | We trace the problem to its source rather than just resetting a breaker. You get a clear explanation and a price before any work begins. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections | panel and wiring inspection, outlet and grounding checks, code violation documentation, pre-purchase inspections | homebuyers, landlords, and property managers who need a clear picture of a property's electrical condition | If we find code violations, we document them clearly and can handle the repairs. We respond promptly, so scheduling is usually straightforward. |
| Lighting Installation | recessed and LED lighting, fixture replacement, under-cabinet lighting, outdoor and security lighting | homeowners remodeling a room, upgrading to LED, or adding exterior lighting for safety and curb appeal | LED retrofits reduce energy use and are one of the most cost-effective upgrades we install. Outdoor fixtures must be rated and wired to code. |
| Wiring & Rewiring | whole-home rewires, knob-and-tube replacement, aluminum branch-circuit remediation, partial rewires | owners of older homes with outdated wiring that creates safety concerns or affects insurability | Updated wiring improves safety, supports modern electrical loads, and can make a home easier to insure and sell. |
| EV Charger Installation | Level 2 charger circuit, 240V dedicated outlet, panel capacity check, hardwired charger installation | EV owners who want overnight charging at home without relying on a slow 120V outlet | We run a load calculation before installation to confirm the existing panel can support the new circuit without creating problems elsewhere in the home. |
| Basement & Sump-Pump Circuits | dedicated sump-pump circuit, basement outlet installation, GFCI protection in wet areas, finished basement wiring | homeowners finishing a basement or making sure a sump pump has a reliable, code-compliant dedicated circuit | A sump pump should never share a circuit with other loads. A dedicated circuit and GFCI protection are both code requirements in most installations. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair | tripping breaker diagnosis, breaker replacement, double-pole breaker service, service entrance checks | any home or business where breakers trip repeatedly or a circuit has gone dead | Repeated trips are a symptom, not the problem itself. We find the underlying cause so the fix actually holds. |
What are the signs that a home needs a panel or service upgrade?
The most common signs are breakers that trip repeatedly without an obvious overload, a panel that feels warm or makes buzzing sounds, lights that dim when a large appliance kicks on, and a home that simply cannot support the circuits you need to add. Older panels with limited amperage were built for far less electrical demand than a modern household puts on them. If you are planning to add an EV charger, a large appliance, or a home addition, a load calculation will tell you whether the current service can handle it.
Why do breakers keep tripping in my home?
Repeated tripping usually points to one of three things: a circuit that is overloaded by too many devices, a fault somewhere in the wiring or an outlet, or a breaker that has weakened and trips below its rated capacity. Resetting the breaker without finding the cause is not a fix. We diagnose the source, tell you what the repair involves, and handle it correctly so the problem does not come back.
Is the electrical work permitted and inspected?
Work that requires a permit under local code is pulled and inspected. We handle that process as part of the job. Permitted work protects you at resale, satisfies insurance requirements, and confirms the installation was done to current code standards.
Same-Day Availability
We keep same-day appointments available for most jobs. When you call, we give you a clear arrival window so you know when to expect us.
How do I know if my older home needs a rewire?
Homes with knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch-circuit wiring, or wiring that has never been updated since original construction are worth having inspected. Warning signs include outlets with no ground, frequent breaker trips, discolored outlets or switch plates, and a panel that has been modified or overloaded over the years. We assess what the home actually needs and walk you through the options rather than recommending more work than the situation calls for.
What does EV charger installation involve?
A Level 2 home charger runs on a 240V dedicated circuit. Before we install anything, we check your panel capacity and run a load calculation to confirm the existing service can support the new circuit without creating problems elsewhere. We then run the circuit, install the outlet or hardwired connection, and make sure everything meets code. Most installations are completed in a single visit.
What is involved in a backup generator hookup?
We handle the electrical side: running the dedicated circuit, installing the transfer switch, and connecting the generator so it is ready when the grid goes down. The transfer switch is the critical piece. It keeps the generator safely isolated from the utility line, which protects your equipment and the line workers restoring power in your area. We do not service the generator unit itself, but we make sure the wiring and hookup are done correctly.
Work Performed by Licensed Electricians
Every job is handled by licensed electricians who know the code requirements for Cobb County and the surrounding area.
Why would outlets or switches stop working?
A dead outlet is often caused by a tripped GFCI device somewhere upstream on the same circuit, a loose wire connection behind the outlet, or a wiring fault. A dead switch is usually a failed switch, a loose connection, or a problem with the fixture it controls. Both are worth having looked at rather than left alone, since loose connections in particular can create a fire risk over time.
What does it mean if my lights flicker or dim?
Occasional dimming when a large appliance starts up can be normal, but persistent flickering or dimming that affects multiple rooms usually points to a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a panel that is struggling to handle the load. It can also indicate a wiring issue in the wall or at the fixture. We trace the cause rather than guessing, and we explain what we find before any work gets started.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We walk you through what the work involves and give you a price before anything gets started. What we quote is what you pay.
Is a warm or buzzing outlet something to worry about?
Yes. A warm outlet, a buzzing sound from an outlet or switch, or a burning smell near any electrical device are signs that something is wrong and should not be ignored. These symptoms can indicate a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a failing device. Turn off the circuit at the panel if you can and call us. This is the kind of call we take seriously regardless of size.
How does pricing and estimating work?
We discuss what the job involves and give you a clear price before any work begins. There are no surprise charges added after the fact. The cost depends on the scope of the work, the condition of the existing wiring and panel, permit requirements, and how much access the job requires. Calling us with a description of the problem or project is the fastest way to get an accurate number.
Do you offer same-day service in Smyrna?
Yes. Same-day availability is something we work hard to maintain. When you call, we give you a clear arrival window so you are not left waiting. We serve Smyrna and the surrounding communities in Cobb County, and we can usually confirm availability for your area when you call.
