WHAT WE DO
Full-Service Residential Electrical for Savannah Homes
From single repairs to whole-home projects, we handle all residential electrical work across Savannah and Southeast Georgia.
Panel Upgrades & Replacements

Electrical Repairs
Tripping breakers, dead outlets, flickering lights, or burning smells — don’t ignore electrical problems. Our electricians diagnose and fix issues fast.
Whole-Home Rewiring
Older homes with aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring are a fire risk. We safely rewire homes to bring them up to current electrical code.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Residential Electrical FAQs
Signs you may need a panel upgrade include frequently tripping breakers, lights dimming when appliances run, a fuse box instead of a breaker panel, a panel rated at 100 amps or less, or plans to add a major appliance, EV charger, or standby generator. We assess your panel during the free estimate and give you a straightforward recommendation.
Homes built before the 1970s may have aluminum wiring or knob-and-tube wiring, both of which can present fire hazards when aging or improperly modified. Savannah’s historic neighborhoods — Ardsley Park, Midtown, Thomas Square, the Victorian District, and Parkside — are full of beautiful older homes that were wired decades before modern electrical codes existed.
Many of these homes still have their original 60-amp fuse panels, rubber-insulated wiring that has dried and cracked over time, or wiring that has been patched together by multiple owners over the decades. We have extensive experience inspecting and updating electrical systems in Savannah’s historic homes without unnecessary damage to original finishes, plaster walls, or hardwood floors. If you have an older home, we recommend having your wiring inspected — we can tell you honestly what needs attention and what can wait.
Yes, and it’s work we know well. Savannah’s historic districts — including Ardsley Park, Thomas Square, the Victorian District, Midtown, and Parkside — have unique electrical challenges that generic contractors often aren’t prepared for. We understand how to update electrical systems in older homes while respecting original architecture, coordinating with the City of Savannah’s permitting requirements for historic properties, and working around the constraints that come with plaster walls, original woodwork, and crawl spaces.
Pricing varies based on the scope of work. Simple repairs like replacing an outlet or switch are relatively low cost. Panel replacements, rewiring projects, and generator installations involve more labor and materials. We provide free on-site estimates with transparent pricing before any work begins — no surprises, no pressure.
If you’re dealing with a safety emergency — burning smell, sparking outlet, or no power — call us at (912) 236-1730 and we’ll do our best to prioritize your situation. Please note that after business hours and weekend rates are higher than our regular weekday rates.
No. We no longer install alarm systems. However, we do install security cameras and security lighting.
