Questions and Answers
Our smart TVs and computers keep getting reset during storms. Is this a Georgia Power issue or something wrong with our house?
Frequent surges, especially in our area with high lightning risk, often originate from the utility grid. While Georgia Power manages the primary lines, the protection inside your home is your responsibility. A whole-house surge protector installed at the main panel is the standard defense for sensitive 2026 electronics, suppressing spikes before they reach your outlets.
We lost all power and smell something burning from a wall outlet. How fast can a master electrician get to our house near City Hall?
For an emergency like a burning smell, our dispatch prioritizes your call. From our office near Chattahoochee Hills City Hall, we can typically be en route via SR 92 within minutes for a 10-15 minute response to the Senoia Road Corridor. Immediate action is critical to prevent an electrical fire.
We have overhead lines coming to a mast on our roof. What are the common maintenance issues with this setup?
Overhead service masts, typical for our area, are exposed to the elements. We inspect for weatherhead integrity, mast rust, and proper drip loop formation to prevent water ingress. Tree contact is a frequent concern. Ensuring the mast and mast base are securely anchored to the house structure is vital, as wind can cause mechanical damage to the entrance cables.
Our Senoia Road Corridor home was built around 1992. Why do the lights dim when the microwave and air conditioner run together?
Your home's electrical system is now 34 years old. Original NM-B Romex wiring from that era was installed for a lower standard of appliance use. Modern 2026 kitchens and high-efficiency HVAC systems create simultaneous demand that can overload the original circuit design, causing voltage drop you see as dimming lights.
How should I prepare my home's electrical system for an ice storm or a summer brownout?
For winter lows that can bring ice storms, ensure your heating system is serviced and consider a hardwired generator with a proper transfer switch. Summer AC peaks strain the grid; a whole-house surge protector safeguards against voltage swings during brownouts. These are permanent upgrades, more reliable than portable plug-in units.
We have a lot of old trees around our property. Could that be causing our weird electrical issues?
Heavy tree canopy, common near City Hall, directly impacts electrical health. Branches rubbing on overhead service lines can cause intermittent faults and noise on your wiring. Furthermore, dense root systems and variable soil moisture can compromise the grounding electrode system, which is critical for safety and surge dissipation.
We have an old 150-amp panel and want to add a Level 2 EV charger. Is our 1992 home's system safe for this upgrade?
Installing a Level 2 EV charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, often 40-50 amps. A 150-amp panel from 1992 may not have the spare capacity, and we must first verify the panel brand. Discovering a Federal Pacific panel would require a full replacement before any upgrade, as they are a known fire hazard and incompatible with modern safety requirements.
What's involved in getting a permit for a new circuit from the Chattahoochee Hills Community Development Department?
The permit process ensures work meets NEC 2023 code, which I handle directly. After assessing the load and your panel's capacity, I file the necessary drawings with the Community Development Department. As a Georgia State Construction Industry Licensing Board licensee, I provide the required certifications, schedule inspections, and manage all compliance, so you don't have to navigate the red tape.
