If you’re unsure whether we cover your neighborhood, call us — we cover a 50 mile radius around Atlanta.

Yes, most electrical work in Georgia beyond minor repairs requires a permit from your local jurisdiction. Panel upgrades, new circuits and rewiring projects require permits in DeKalb County, Fulton County or the City of Atlanta.  Minor repairs such as outlet replacements, fan installation or light installations do not require a permit. When a permit is required, Bray Electrical handles all permit applications and coordinates county inspections on your behalf — you don’t need to manage any paperwork.

Common signs that a panel replacement may be needed include: breakers that trip frequently or won’t reset, a panel that feels warm or shows scorch marks or flickering lights throughout the home. An older 100 amp panel that can’t support modern appliance loads, or a Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Pushmatic brand panel — all of which have documented safety issues all need to be replaced. If your Atlanta home was built before 1990, a panel inspection is a worthwhile safety precaution. Bray Electrical offers free panel assessments for Decatur and Atlanta-area homeowners.
