Editorial Review
Our Take on The Electrician
A 5 out of 5 average across 524 Google reviews is the sort of number that makes us look twice, and in this case the service list is broad enough to explain it: lots of small jobs done well add up faster than a handful of big ones. The weekday-only published hours are the main thing to plan around, so confirm emergency availability rather than assuming it. For panel work, EV chargers and lighting across the northern metro, this is a credible first call.

About The Electrician
Atlanta housing stock runs from 1920s bungalows in Virginia-Highland to post-war ranches in Chamblee to new builds along the northern arc, and the electrical problems split along those lines. Older homes tend to bring cloth-wrapped wiring, two-prong outlets, no ground path, and panels that ran out of spare slots two renovations ago. Newer homes bring different requests: a dedicated circuit for a car charger, recessed lighting through a finished ceiling, a generator inlet, surge protection at the panel. The Electrician presents itself as taking both ends of that, listing troubleshooting and circuit diagnostics alongside main panels, subpanels, breakers and service upgrades, plus outlets, switches, dimmers, ceiling fans, chandeliers, exterior and security lighting, pool and spa wiring, pool control panel upgrades and LED retrofits.
The commercial side is described in similar terms. Parking lot lighting, lighting controls, LED conversions, power for new cubicles, circuits for restaurant equipment and repair call-outs for retail and office tenants. That mix suits property managers and small business owners who need a contractor comfortable in both a 1970s strip centre and a recently fitted office suite. The company makes a point of its experience across Atlanta's older and newer buildings, which is a fair thing to emphasise in a city where a single block can hold three eras of wiring practice.
What stands out in the public record is the review volume. A 5 out of 5 rating across 524 Google reviews, read on September 28, 2026, is rare at that count. It does not tell you anything about pricing and it does not guarantee your job goes smoothly, but it does suggest a business that turns up, finishes, and does not leave a trail of disputes. Read a handful of the newest reviews before you call, and look for jobs that resemble yours rather than the overall number.
Hours are worth planning around. The published schedule is 8 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday, with Saturday and Sunday closed. The company's own site advertises emergency and residential service, so there may be after-hours capacity, but the listed hours are what a reader should work from. If your problem is a dead half-house on a Friday evening, ask directly what the response looks like and what the call-out is charged at. Weekend and evening rates are normal in this trade and there is no shame in asking for the number up front.
A few other questions earn their keep in Georgia. Ask who pulls the permit and arranges inspection on panel changes and service upgrades, because in the City of Atlanta and in Fulton and DeKalb counties that work is permitted and the utility coordination for a meter pull matters to your timeline. Ask whether the quoted panel price includes new breakers, grounding and bonding corrections, and any exterior weatherhead or mast work, since those are the items that turn a tidy quote into a change order. For an EV charger, ask for a load calculation rather than a guess, and whether a load management device could save you a service upgrade. For older homes, ask what happens if opening a box reveals aluminium branch wiring or knob and tube, and how that is priced.
Who is this a good fit for. Homeowners and small commercial clients across the northern metro who want one contractor for both the small stuff, a dimmer that hums, a fan that needs bracing, and the larger items like a service upgrade or a generator hook-up. It is less obviously the choice for a ground-up commercial build needing a large crew and bonded contract work, and the profile does not list that kind of project. Buyers hunting the lowest hourly rate will find cheaper options in a market this large; the value here reads as reliability rather than discount.
Compared with the alternatives, Atlanta has plenty of one-van operators who are excellent and hard to book, and several franchise outfits with dispatch centres and flat-rate menus. The Electrician sits between those, a licensed local firm claiming three decades of experience with a review record that a franchise would be pleased with. Confirm the licence number and insurance certificate before work starts, as you would with anyone, and get the scope in writing. Do that and the electrician you hire here looks like a sensible bet for most residential and light commercial work in the metro.

The Electrician FAQs
What areas does The Electrician cover?
Metro Atlanta, with the company naming Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett and Cobb counties on its own website. The office address is 20 S Battery Pl in the Buckhead area of Atlanta, so northern metro addresses are likely the easiest to schedule. If you are on the far edge of one of those counties, confirm coverage when you call on (404) 256-0169.
Is The Electrician open on weekends?
No, the published hours show Saturday and Sunday closed. The listed schedule is 8 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday. The company's website does advertise emergency service, so there may be after-hours capacity, but that is not reflected in the published hours and is worth confirming by phone.
How good are the reviews?
The Google Business Profile showed a 5 out of 5 rating from 524 reviews when read on September 28, 2026. That is a high count for a local electrical contractor and an unusually clean average. As always, it is worth reading recent reviews for jobs similar to yours rather than relying on the headline figure alone.
Can they install an EV charger at my house?
Yes, electric vehicle charging is listed among its services, along with whole house and portable generator hook-ups. Before booking, ask for a load calculation on your existing service so you know whether the panel can take a dedicated 240-volt circuit or whether a service upgrade or load management device is needed. That single answer usually determines the cost.
Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Atlanta?
Generally yes. Panel replacements and service upgrades are permitted and inspected work in the City of Atlanta and surrounding counties, and they usually involve coordinating a meter pull with the utility. Ask who files the permit, who schedules the inspection, and how that affects the timeline before you accept a quote.
Do they handle commercial electrical work?
Yes. The company describes commercial service for restaurants, retail locations, shopping centres and offices, including parking lot lighting, LED upgrades, lighting controls, troubleshooting, circuits for new equipment and power for office fit-outs. Larger ground-up construction contracts are not something the profile mentions.
Is The Electrician licensed and insured?
The company states on its website that it is fully licensed and insured and refers to master electrician credentials. Those are its own claims rather than something independently verified here, so ask for the licence number and a current certificate of insurance before work begins, which is standard practice for any electrical job.
Is The Electrician licensed and insured?
We have no credential records on file for this company yet. Ask for the certificate directly from the insurer before booking work.
What areas does The Electrician serve?
Atlanta, Decatur. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.
Does The Electrician offer emergency service?
Emergency availability is not listed for this company. If you need an urgent call-out, check the ranking for companies that do list it.
What warranty do they offer?
Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.
How was this profile built?
Credentials come from issuing authorities, ratings from the company's Google Business Profile with the date we read them, and the editorial take from our own review of estimates, warranty documents and public feedback. Anything the business told us is labelled as reported.
Can a business pay to improve its profile?
