Lawrenceville Electrical Company handles residential and commercial electrical work across Lawrenceville and throughout Gwinnett County. Whether you need a tripping breaker looked at before dinner or a full panel upgrade scheduled for next week, you reach someone who can scope the job on the phone, give you a clear picture of what it involves, and get it on the calendar. We work seven days a week, from 7:30 AM to 11:00 PM. Call us and the rest is handled.
Good electrical work isn't complicated, it's just done right, and that starts with knowing exactly what you're dealing with before anyone picks up a tool. The sections below cover the range of work we do, from a single dead outlet to a full service upgrade.
A dead outlet, a breaker that trips every time you run the microwave, a light that flickers for no obvious reason: these are the calls we get most often, and they all start the same way. We find out what is happening, trace it to the source, and fix what is causing it. That might be a loose connection at the outlet, a breaker that has worn out, a short somewhere in the circuit, or a wiring issue that has been building for a while. Warm outlets, burning smells, and sparking receptacles all get treated as urgent, because the cause is usually something that should not wait. We diagnose the fault and carry out the repair in a single visit where the job allows it.
Older homes in the Lawrenceville area often run on 100-amp service or a fuse panel that was never sized for today's loads. Adding an EV charger, a home addition, or a large appliance to a panel that is already at capacity creates real problems. We handle 200-amp panel upgrades, fuse box replacements, subpanel installations, and service-entrance upgrades. Before any panel work starts, we work through the load calculation so the new setup is sized for what the home or building actually needs, not just what it needed when it was built.
Gwinnett County has a wide range of housing ages, and the wiring inside those homes varies just as much. Knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuit wiring, and cloth-insulated wire all turn up in older properties around Lawrenceville. Each type has its own considerations and its own repair or replacement approach. Whole-home rewiring is a larger project, but it is often the right call when the existing wiring is too far gone to patch reliably. We also handle partial rewires for additions, renovations, and specific circuits that need to be brought up to current standards. Electrical work done to the code inspectors here enforce is the baseline for every wiring job we take on.
Electrical work like this comes up more than people expect, and it covers a wider range than most homeowners realize until they need something specific.
GFCI outlets are required in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations, and older homes often have standard outlets in places where GFCI protection is now code. We install GFCI and AFCI outlets, USB outlets, outdoor weatherproof receptacles, dimmer switches, and standard outlet and switch replacements. For appliances that need dedicated 240V or 220V circuits, such as electric dryers, ranges, and ovens, we run the circuit and install the correct outlet for the load. Garage circuits, dedicated appliance circuits, and added outlets in rooms that were never wired for enough of them all fall in this category.
Recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting, and fixture replacements are among the most common requests we handle for homeowners. On the exterior, security lighting, motion sensor lights, flood lights, porch lights, and landscape lighting all require proper weatherproofing and the right circuit capacity. We handle both the wiring and the fixture work, so you are not coordinating two separate visits. We make the fix and leave it tidy.
Ceiling fan installation is straightforward when there is already a wired ceiling box in place. When there isn't, the job involves running the wiring and installing a fan-rated box before the fixture goes up. We handle both scenarios, including fans with integrated lighting and remote or wall-switch control wiring.
Lawrenceville and the surrounding parts of Gwinnett County cover a wide range of construction eras, from mid-century ranch homes to 1980s and 1990s subdivisions to newer builds in recently developed neighborhoods. That range shows up directly in the electrical work. Panels in homes from the 1960s and 1970s sometimes carry brands that have since been flagged for reliability issues, and the wiring methods from those decades often used aluminum for branch circuits rather than copper. Both situations require a specific approach, not a generic one.
Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s are often hitting the point where original panels are running out of capacity as owners add circuits for EV chargers, home offices, and upgraded kitchens. Knowing what to look for in those panels, and what the common failure points are, changes how the diagnostic goes. Newer construction is generally in better shape, but it still generates calls for added circuits, outlet placement changes, and lighting upgrades as owners customize the space.
A flickering light and a full rewire start the same way, with a clear look at what the job actually involves. The services below come up frequently in this part of Georgia, where hot summers, storm season, and a growing number of electric vehicles all put specific demands on residential and commercial electrical systems.
A Level 2 EV charger runs on a 240V dedicated circuit, and installing one starts with a look at the panel to confirm it has the capacity to carry the added load. If the panel is already at its limit, the charger install and a panel upgrade go together. We run the dedicated circuit, install the outlet or hardwired connection point, and confirm the setup matches the charger's requirements. This applies to Tesla chargers, other manufacturer-specific chargers, and universal Level 2 units. You get a straight answer about the work before it is scheduled.
When the power goes out during a Georgia storm, a generator is only useful if it is properly connected to the home's electrical system. We handle the panel-side work for generator hookups: confirming the panel has capacity, running the circuit to the transfer switch, and installing the transfer switch itself. A properly installed transfer switch keeps the generator isolated from the utility line, which matters for safety and for the utility's equipment. We do not sell generators, but we handle the electrical connection for standby and portable generator setups.
Lightning and utility fluctuations are a real concern in Georgia, and a whole-home surge protector installed at the panel level gives appliances and electronics a layer of protection that individual power strips do not. This is a straightforward panel-level install that covers every circuit in the home. A straightforward choice for homeowners and property managers who want to protect what is already in place.
Dealing with a tripping breaker or a dead outlet? The call and the process are the same whether the property is a single-family home, a rental unit, or a commercial space. We handle electrical work for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial tenants across Gwinnett County.
On the residential side, that includes everything from safety inspections and pre-sale electrical checks to hardwired smoke detector installation, bathroom exhaust fan wiring, and new construction circuits. On the commercial side, we work on office and retail spaces, handle electrical repairs for rental properties, and carry out panel upgrades for buildings that need more capacity. Panel and wiring work finished to code is the standard across all of it. Let us handle the panel and the permits.
The scope and the price are settled on the call, before anything is scheduled. You describe what is happening or what you need, we ask what we need to understand the job, and you get a clear picture of what the work involves and what it will cost. Nothing is booked until that conversation has happened and you have decided to move forward.
The same number you call to book the job is the number to call afterward. There is no separate line, no ticketing system, and no waiting for a callback from a different department. If you have a question about the work after it is done, you call the same number.
Your time matters, so we keep the wiring job moving, and that starts with a phone call that actually answers your questions. Panel upgrade cost, EV charger installation cost, rewiring cost, ceiling fan installation, outlet work: these are all things we can speak to on the phone before anything is scheduled. You get the rate before you commit to anything.
We are available seven days a week, from 7:30 AM to 11:00 PM. For urgent electrical faults, calls are answered during those hours and we work to get someone out as quickly as the schedule allows. Straight answers on the phone. Real electrical work. Quick to respond.
We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and we leave the space clean when the job is done.
We serve Lawrenceville as our primary base and take jobs throughout Gwinnett County and the communities around it. If you are in any of the following areas, we cover your location:
If you are not sure whether your address falls within our range, call and ask. We will tell you directly.
When you call, you reach someone who knows the trade and can talk through what you are dealing with. They can ask the right questions to scope the job, give you a clear picture of what the work involves, and get it on the calendar. The call is not routed to a general line with no knowledge of the work.
The electrician will confirm what was described on the call, take a look at the relevant panel, wiring, or device, and walk you through what they find before any work begins. If the job matches the scope from the call, the work proceeds at the agreed price. If something unexpected turns up, you are told before anything additional is done.
Gwinnett County has a wide range of housing ages, and the wiring and panel issues vary considerably between a 1960s ranch home and a 1990s subdivision house. Knowing which panel brands showed up in which eras, where aluminum branch-circuit wiring is common, and what the local code inspectors look for on a given job type changes how the diagnostic and the repair go. This area's panels, permits, and utility rules are familiar ground.
Homes built before the 1980s in the Lawrenceville area frequently turn up with fuse boxes, knob-and-tube wiring, or aluminum branch-circuit wiring. Panels from certain manufacturers installed in the 1970s and 1980s have known reliability concerns and come up regularly in this part of Gwinnett County. Each of these situations has a specific approach, and the diagnostic visit starts by identifying exactly what is in place before any repair or replacement is recommended.
A small job like a single outlet replacement or a ceiling fan install is usually completed in one visit with minimal disruption. A larger job like a panel upgrade or a whole-home rewire involves load calculations, possible utility coordination, and more time on site across one or more visits. Both are scoped on the call before anything is scheduled, so you know what to expect regardless of the size.
When you book, you get confirmation of what the visit covers and what the scope includes.
If you have specific questions about the visit before it happens, call (943) 292-6289 and we will answer them directly.
The goal is that nothing about the visit is a surprise when the electrician shows up.
If you have an electrical problem or a project to schedule, Lawrenceville Electrical Company is available seven days a week, from 7:30 AM to 11:00 PM.
