Full FAQ
Do electricians need a license in Georgia?

Yes. Electrical contractors in Georgia must be licensed through the Electrical Contractors division of the state's Construction Industry Licensing Board. Verify the license number with the Georgia Secretary of State before work begins.

Does electrical panel work require a permit?

Panel upgrades, service changes, and new circuits generally require an electrical permit under the Georgia State Minimum Standard Electrical Code. Like-for-like replacement of a device on an existing circuit usually does not.

What should an electrical estimate include?

A clear scope of work, the materials and fixtures to be used, labor, permit fees, and a timeline. Ask whether the price covers everything or whether parts are quoted separately.
