Pricing & Estimates
Straightforward Electrical Pricing
We quote flat-rate prices, not open-ended hourly bills. You approve the number before we start, and it doesn't change unless the scope does — with your sign-off.
What affects the cost
- The type of work — a switch swap vs. a panel replacement
- Whether a permit and inspection are required
- Panel capacity and whether a service upgrade is needed
- Wiring condition, accessibility and how far new runs travel
- Fixtures, materials and devices you choose
- Emergency or after-hours dispatch
Why an inspection may be needed first
Electrical faults hide inside walls and panels. A short on-site diagnostic lets us give you an accurate fixed price instead of a vague range — and it catches related safety issues before they become the next emergency.
Our estimate process
We provide an upfront quote for planned work like lighting, EV chargers, panel upgrades and rewires. For repairs, a modest diagnostic fee covers the visit and testing, and it's credited toward the repair when you proceed.
Our Core Service
Electrical Repair in Lawrenceville, GA
Electrical repair is the diagnostic and corrective work that restores a home's wiring, outlets, switches, fixtures and panel to safe, reliable operation. It's more than swapping a part — a proper repair traces the fault back to its source so the problem doesn't return or hide a safety hazard behind the wall.
Common problems we repair
- Flickering or dimming lights when appliances turn on
- Outlets or whole rooms with no power
- Breakers that trip frequently or won't reset
- Buzzing outlets, switches or the panel itself
- Warm or discolored cover plates and a burning smell
- Sparks when plugging in, or loose outlets that don't grip
- Partial power outages affecting half the house
- Two-prong outlets and missing GFCI protection
Signs you need an electrician now
Call promptly if you notice a burning or fishy smell near outlets or the panel, scorch marks, crackling or sizzling sounds, outlets that are hot to the touch, repeated shocks from switches or appliances, or lights that surge bright then dim. These point to loose connections, overloaded circuits or failing wiring that can lead to an electrical fire.
How we solve it
We start with a full diagnostic: testing circuits, checking terminations at outlets and the panel, measuring load and voltage drop, and using thermal and tone tools to find hot spots and breaks inside walls. You get a written explanation of the cause, a flat-rate price to fix it, and code-compliant repairs backed by our workmanship warranty. Where a repair is really a symptom of an undersized or obsolete system, we'll tell you honestly and lay out the options.
When it's an emergency
Smoke, sparks, a hot panel, exposed or arcing wires, a burning smell that won't clear, or a total loss of power in extreme heat or cold are emergencies. Shut off the affected breaker if you can do so safely and call our 24/7 line — don't wait for regular hours.
Problem → Solution
Common Electrical Problems We Solve
If you're searching for the problem instead of "an electrician," you're in the right place.
Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel
These older panels are known fire hazards that can fail to trip under a fault. We replace them with a modern, labeled 200-amp panel — permitted and inspected.
Panel is full — no space left
Adding a circuit with no open slots? We install a sub-panel or upgrade the service so future projects aren't blocked.
Bulbs burn out too fast
Usually over-voltage, loose sockets, heat buildup or vibration. We check voltage and connections rather than just selling you more bulbs.
Outdoor outlets are dead
Often a tripped GFCI, water intrusion or a failed weatherproof cover. We restore power and make the receptacle code-compliant and sealed.
Aluminum branch wiring
Common in 1965–1975 homes and a real fire risk at connections. We remediate with approved connectors (COPALUM/AlumiConn) or rewire.
Running extension cords everywhere
A sign of too few circuits. We add properly sized dedicated circuits and outlets so nothing is overloaded.
Water reached the panel
Roof leak, flooding or condensation in the panel needs immediate attention — corrosion causes arcing. We assess and replace what's compromised.
Planning an EV, hot tub, addition or shop
We run the load calculation, install the dedicated circuit, and upgrade the service or panel only if the numbers actually require it.

Local Expertise
We Know Lawrenceville Homes
Older in-town homes
Many homes near downtown Lawrenceville still run 60–100 amp services, two-prong outlets and cloth-insulated wiring that needs careful upgrading rather than a rip-out.
1980s–2000s subdivisions
Collins Hill, Five Forks and Rivermist homes often have builder-grade panels now near capacity, and Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels that should be replaced.
New construction & additions
Newer Sugarloaf and Hamilton Mill homes need EV circuits, surge protection, bonus-room wiring and smart-home upgrades the original build skipped.
Georgia weather
Summer heat pushes AC loads to the limit and frequent lightning makes whole-house surge protection a genuine investment here, not an upsell.
Storm outages
Severe thunderstorms and the occasional ice event knock out power across Gwinnett — standby generators and proper transfer switches keep essentials running.
Home offices & workshops
More Lawrenceville homeowners are adding dedicated circuits for offices, garage gyms and detached shops than ever before.

About Lawrenceville Electrician Co
A Lawrenceville Electrical Company Built on Doing It Right
Lawrenceville Electrician Co started with a single van and a simple promise: show up when we say, charge what we quote, and treat every home like it's family living there. We're locally owned and operated out of Lawrenceville at 241 Lawrenceville Hwy, serving homeowners across Gwinnett County and metro Atlanta.
Our electricians carry deep experience with the electrical systems common to this area — aging 100-amp services, obsolete panel brands, aluminum branch wiring, and homes that have been added onto more than once. That expertise means faster diagnosis and fewer callbacks.
We're a local business, not a franchise call center. When you call, you reach our team. When we finish, you have our number. Our customer-first approach shows up in the small things: honest advice when a repair beats a replacement, clear pricing in writing, and a warranty we actually stand behind.
As a licensed electrical contractor in Lawrenceville, GA, we handle residential and light commercial work — and if you've been comparing electrical companies near you for a panel upgrade, rewire, EV charger or emergency repair, we'll give you a straight answer and a firm price before any work starts.
Helpful Tips
Electrical Advice for Lawrenceville Homeowners
Preventive maintenance
Test GFCI and AFCI breakers monthly, replace hardwired smoke detectors every 10 years, and have the panel checked if your home is over 25 years old or you've never had it inspected.
Common mistakes
Chaining power strips, using extension cords as permanent wiring, oversizing a breaker to stop tripping, and DIY outlet swaps with the wrong wire gauge — all real fire risks.
DIY vs. call a pro
Swapping a like-for-like light fixture is reasonable DIY. Anything touching the panel, adding circuits, aluminum wiring, or work that needs a permit should be done by a licensed electrician.
Before you buy a home
Get an independent electrical inspection — especially for panel brand, service size, wiring type and GFCI coverage. It's cheap leverage in negotiations.
Storm season prep
Whole-house surge protection plus point-of-use protectors on electronics, and know where your main breaker is so you can cut power fast if needed.
Adding big loads
EV chargers, hot tubs, tankless water heaters and shop tools often need a load calculation and sometimes a service upgrade. Ask before you buy the equipment.

FAQ
Electrician in Lawrenceville, GA — Common Questions
Are you a licensed and insured electrician?
Yes. Lawrenceville Electrician Co is a licensed Georgia electrical contractor, fully insured and bonded. We pull permits and schedule inspections whenever the work requires it.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency electrical service in Lawrenceville?
Yes. A real person answers our line any hour, and we dispatch for hazards like sparking outlets, burning smells, hot panels, exposed wiring and total power loss in extreme weather.
How much does an electrician cost in Lawrenceville, GA?
We use flat-rate pricing you approve before work begins. Small repairs and device work are typically a few hundred dollars; panel upgrades and rewires are larger projects. We give you a firm number after a quick diagnostic.
Why does my circuit breaker keep tripping?
Most often an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, a ground fault, or a worn-out breaker. It's the breaker doing its job — never replace it with a larger one. We test the load and the breaker and trace the circuit to fix the cause.
Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel?
Consider it if you have a 100-amp or smaller service, a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, no room for new circuits, frequent tripping, or you're adding an EV charger, addition or major appliance. We'll assess and give you options.
Can you install a home EV charger?
Yes — Level 2 charging for Tesla, ChargePoint and any J1772 vehicle. We handle the load calculation, dedicated 240-volt circuit, charger mounting and any panel upgrade needed, permitted and inspected.
My lights flicker throughout the house. Is that dangerous?
It can be. Whole-house flickering often signals a loose neutral or a failing connection at the meter or panel, which is a fire risk. Have it looked at promptly rather than waiting.
Does my older Lawrenceville home need to be rewired?
Not always. Many older homes only need targeted repairs, added grounding and GFCI protection. Full or partial rewiring is warranted for knob-and-tube, deteriorated cloth wiring, or aluminum branch circuits. We'll tell you honestly which you need.
What areas do you serve?
Lawrenceville and the surrounding Gwinnett County communities — Suwanee, Duluth, Snellville, Grayson, Dacula, Lilburn, Buford — plus parts of metro Atlanta including Brookhaven, Chamblee and Sandy Springs.
Can you come the same day?
Most days, yes. Call early for the best chance at a same-day slot; emergencies are prioritized around the clock.
Do you charge for estimates?
Planned installations like lighting, EV chargers and panel upgrades get an upfront, no-obligation quote. Repair calls carry a diagnostic fee that’s credited toward the repair when you move forward.
Do you warranty your work?
Yes. Every repair and installation includes a written workmanship warranty, plus manufacturer warranties on parts we supply.
