Electrical Panel Out of Room?
A 1950s ranch or a prewar bungalow wasn’t wired for an EV charger, a second AC or a finished basement. If you’re out of breaker slots, we’ll tell you whether a subpanel covers it or you need a panel upgrade.

Storm Damage to Your Service Mast?
When a limb takes down the line to your house, it often bends the service mast on your roof or pulls the meter base off the wall. Georgia Power won’t fix those parts, because they belong to the house. We repair them first. Then you call Georgia Power to get reconnected, and we’ll tell you as soon as it’s ready for that call.

Wabash, Indiana, claims the title of first city lit by electricity. On March 31, 1880, four arc lamps on top of the county courthouse switched on, and they’d keep lighting the town for the next eight years.
Questions & Answers
Electrician in Atlanta FAQs
Straight answers to what Atlanta homeowners ask us before they book.
It depends on the job. Four things move the number most: the number of circuits, how easy the wiring is to reach, your panel’s age and whether a permit is needed. An older house with plaster walls takes more labor than a newer condo with drywall. Cam’s Electric gives free estimates, so you’ll know the number before any work starts.
Georgia licenses electrical contractors at the state level, so any job that needs an electrical permit belongs with a licensed electrician. That covers new circuits, panel work and rewiring. Cam’s Electric is licensed and insured, and we pull the permit when your job needs one.
Start with licensed and insured, then ask how they’ll find the problem and who pulls the permit. You want someone who tests before replacing parts and who handles the paperwork for you. Reviews fill in the rest, like whether they show up when they say they will and clean up after.
Cam’s Electric is based in Atlanta, and we work across the city and in Buckhead, Brookhaven and North Druid Hills. In Buckhead, that includes Pine Hills and Chastain Park. If you’re not sure about your street, call (770) 262-4949 and we’ll tell you.
For most work beyond a simple repair, yes. New circuits, panel changes and rewiring get a permit and an inspection, and inside the city the City of Atlanta Office of Buildings issues it. That inspection is a second set of eyes on work you can’t see once the wall is closed. We pull the permit for you, so it isn’t something you have to figure out.
Watch for two-prong outlets, a fuse box, a panel with no open slots, lights that dim hard when the AC starts and outlets that feel warm. Many of Atlanta’s intown houses were wired before the war, some with knob and tube wiring that has no ground. Cam’s Electric can look at the panel and a few circuits and tell you what needs attention now and what can wait.
A whole house surge protector goes in at your panel and stops big surges before they reach your appliances. Power strips handle what’s left at the outlet. In Atlanta, surges often come when power is restored after an outage, and a lot of our outages start with a tree limb on a line. The protector depends on the panel being grounded well, so we check that when we install one.
Resetting a tripped breaker or a GFCI outlet once is fine to do yourself. If it trips again, an outlet feels hot or smells like burning, or the problem is inside the panel, stop there and call a licensed electrician. Call (770) 262-4949 and tell us what you’re seeing.
Look outside first. If the neighbors are dark too, it’s a Georgia Power outage, so report it to them. If it’s only your house, check the main breaker. If only part of the house is out, or a storm pulled the service mast or the meter base loose, the problem is on your side. Keep clear of anything that’s hanging and call an electrician.
There’s no set schedule for most homes. Good times are when you buy a house, before a remodel, before adding something big like an EV charger, and after storm or water damage. Older homes deserve a closer look. Cam’s Electric can take photos of what we find, which helps with your insurance company and with buyers later.

Home Wiring Answers
Short reads on what’s going on behind your walls and when it’s time to call an electrician.
Because the details are important
Electrical Help for Your Home
Most calls start one of four ways: something quit working, a remodel needs more power, a room’s too dim, or there’s a new EV in the driveway. Whichever one brought you here, the estimate’s free. When a new panel or breakers go in, we install Square D, Eaton or GE.
Electrical Repair
Most electrical repair calls in Atlanta start with a mystery, like lights that dim when the AC kicks on. We test with a multimeter before we replace anything. The cause is often a loose neutral or a backstabbed outlet, where a push-in wire has worked loose. One customer’s issue “went undiagnosed for almost a year” until Cam found it.
Electrical Installation
When a remodel or a finished basement needs more power, our electrical installation service starts with a load calculation, which adds up what your house uses. Then we add the breaker panel, subpanel or dedicated circuits to carry it. We’re licensed, and the work is inspected to the 2023 NEC, the code Georgia enforces.
Lighting
A good lighting contractor plans each room first: how bright in lumens, how warm in color temperature and which switch runs what. We match dimmer switches to your LEDs so they don’t flicker. Outdoors, we aim motion sensors so branches in Atlanta’s tree canopy don’t trip them. Recessed lighting and pendant lights are regular work for us.
EV Chargers
Want a Level 2 charger at home? As a licensed EV charging station contractor, we’ll tell you what your panel can handle first. At a house, it’s usually a NEMA 14-50 outlet or a hardwired charger on a 60 amp breaker. In a condo, it often means HOA approval and a longer conduit run from your unit’s panel.
