Reliable Power for Modern Home Living

Residential electrical services in Atlanta for repairs, upgrades, lighting, and smart home installations.

Your home requires more from its electrical system today than it did ten years ago, and older wiring and panels often struggle to keep up. Homes in Atlanta are adding electric vehicle chargers, smart thermostats, whole-home surge protection, and upgraded lighting that all demand more capacity and safer distribution. When your system cannot handle the load or still relies on outdated components, you face tripped breakers, limited outlets, and increased risk of electrical failure.

First Class Electric delivers residential electrical services that address repairs, upgrades, and installations for homeowners who want safe, modern, and reliable power. We handle panel upgrades, circuit additions, lighting installation, EV charger setup, surge protection, and smart home wiring. Every project is completed to current electrical codes and designed to support the way you actually use your home.

If your home in Atlanta needs electrical work that improves safety, adds capacity, or supports new technology, get in touch to schedule a consultation.

What Happens During a Residential Service Visit

We start by reviewing your current electrical system, testing circuits, and discussing what you need the system to do. Residential work in Atlanta often includes upgrading 100-amp panels to 200-amp service, installing dedicated circuits for EV chargers or home offices, and replacing old lighting with energy-efficient LED fixtures. We bring the tools, materials, and permits needed to complete the work correctly and safely.

Once the work is done, you will have circuits that support your devices without overloading, lighting that improves visibility and reduces energy use, and outlets placed where you need them. Residential electrical upgrades remove the limitations of older systems and provide the capacity your household requires for daily life and future additions.

We test all new circuits under load, verify proper grounding and bonding, and ensure your system meets National Electrical Code requirements. Our services include electrical work only and do not cover drywall repair, painting, or structural modifications, though we coordinate with other trades when projects require it. The completed system is ready for inspection and normal use.

Here is what homeowners usually want to know

Before scheduling residential electrical work, most people ask about cost, time, and whether the upgrade will require changes to other parts of the home.

What does a panel upgrade involve?
A panel upgrade replaces your existing breaker box with a larger panel that provides more circuits and higher amperage. We disconnect the old panel, install the new one, rewire circuits as needed, and coordinate inspection with the local authority.
How long does it take to install an EV charger?
Installing an EV charger typically takes four to six hours and includes running a dedicated 240-volt circuit from your panel to the garage, mounting the charger, and testing the connection. The time varies based on the distance from your panel and whether the circuit path is accessible.
What is whole-home surge protection?
Whole-home surge protection is a device installed at your electrical panel that diverts voltage spikes away from your home's wiring. It protects appliances, electronics, and HVAC equipment from damage caused by lightning strikes or utility surges.
When should I add a dedicated circuit?
You should add a dedicated circuit when you install equipment that draws high current, such as electric vehicle chargers, home offices with multiple devices, or kitchen appliances that trip breakers when used together. Dedicated circuits prevent overloads and improve safety.
Why do older homes need electrical upgrades?
Older homes often have panels that cannot support modern electrical demand, wiring that does not meet current safety standards, and insufficient outlets for today's devices. Upgrades bring your system into compliance and provide the capacity needed for safe, comfortable living.
