Johns Creek is a city where the housing stock tells a story. Newer subdivisions with updated panels sit alongside homes from earlier decades that were wired for a different era, and the commercial corridors carry their own set of demands entirely. Five Pines Electrical handles all of it, from a quick outlet repair in a single-family home to a full service upgrade in a commercial unit that cannot afford downtime. The work is carried out by licensed electricians, and the scope is priced before anything is scheduled.
Property owners here run the range from homeowners managing a single residence to landlords keeping rental units up to code to businesses that need electrical work done without disrupting operations. The job looks different depending on which one is calling, and we adjust accordingly. Same-day service is often available, and we are open every day from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, so there is a real window to work with when something comes up.
Doing electrical work right matters, and we will help you get it right, whether you are dealing with a fault that has been nagging for months or something that needs attention today. The list below covers the specific job types we take on regularly in this area.
Grounding and bonding problems rarely announce themselves with a loud failure. More often they show up as intermittent shocks from a faucet, an outlet that tests incorrectly, or equipment that keeps tripping a GFCI for no obvious reason. We trace the issue through the system, identify where the bonding path is broken or missing, and correct it to current code.
A detached garage or workshop that needs more than a single circuit usually needs its own subpanel rather than a long run of extension cords or a shared breaker that keeps tripping. We size the subpanel for the load, run the feeder from the main panel, and wire the circuits the space actually needs, whether that is lighting, outlets, or a dedicated circuit for a larger tool.
A panel where half the breakers say "misc" or nothing at all is a problem waiting to happen. We trace each circuit, confirm what it feeds, and label the panel accurately. It is a job that does not sound like much until a tenant calls about a dead outlet and nobody can find the right breaker without cycling through the whole box.
Smart switches and dimmers are not always a straight swap. Older wiring sometimes lacks the neutral wire a smart switch requires, and some dimmer switches are incompatible with certain LED fixtures. We check the wiring at the box first, confirm compatibility, and install the switch so it works correctly rather than flickering or failing to pair.
Homes built during certain periods in Fulton County may carry aluminium branch-circuit wiring, and that wiring behaves differently from copper at connections and terminations. We handle remediation properly, using listed connectors and devices rated for aluminium, rather than a surface-level fix that leaves the underlying risk in place. An electrical safety inspection can confirm whether aluminium wiring is present and what condition the connections are in.
Recessed and LED lighting installation is one of the more common calls we get from homeowners refreshing a space. We handle the wiring, the box, and the fixture, and where arc-fault protection is required by code we install it as part of the job. Ceiling fan wiring, under-cabinet lighting, and fixture replacements in rooms that were never set up for a particular fixture type are all part of this work.
Same-day service is often available, and we work to find a time that fits the situation. For calls that cannot wait, such as a breaker that will not reset, an outlet that has gone dead in a kitchen, or anything that involves a visible fault, we treat them as priority calls and work to get someone out quickly. We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay operational, we plan the work around the schedule. If a circuit needs to be isolated, we confirm the window in advance so the disruption is expected rather than a surprise. Landlords scheduling work between tenants have a different kind of flexibility, and we work around that too.
Every job gets treated like it matters, because it does. Call (943) 292-6289 and we will talk through what you are dealing with and find a time that works.
The homes and wiring in this area have their own quirks, and the small jobs are often the ones that have been sitting on the list the longest. A socket that has never worked since the previous owner. A switch that sparks when you flip it. An outdoor light that has been disconnected for two seasons because nobody got around to replacing it.
These are not emergencies, but they are worth a call. A switch that sparks is not just an inconvenience. It is a sign of a loose connection or a failing device, and loose connections are where arc-fault events start. A dead outlet might be a tripped GFCI somewhere upstream, or it might be a wiring fault that has been sitting in the wall for years.
Ground-fault and arc-fault protection requirements have changed over the years, and older homes often have areas that were never updated to current standards. When we come out for a small job, we look at what is there and flag anything that needs attention. We take pride in the electrical work we leave behind.
If the scope is still open, the electrical repair page is the place to start.
Electrical problems don't wait, and neither do we, but the work itself varies considerably depending on what a property needs. A straightforward repair call is a different visit from a panel upgrade, and both are different from an installation job that starts with rough-in wiring. Here is how the work typically divides.
Most repair calls start with a symptom: a breaker that keeps tripping, a light that flickers, an outlet that stopped working. We trace the fault through the circuit, check the panel, and identify the cause before any work begins. Troubleshooting and diagnostics are the foundation of a repair that actually holds, rather than one that clears the symptom and leaves the cause in the wall.
A panel that cannot carry the load is a safety issue, not just a capacity one. Homes in this area that were built with 100-amp service often need a 200-amp upgrade when EV charger circuits, modern appliances, or home office equipment push the panel past what it was designed to handle. We run a load calculation, handle the service-entrance work, and coordinate the inspection process. Whole-home surge protection is worth considering at the same time, given the storm activity this region sees.
Installation work covers a wide range: a dedicated circuit for a new appliance, an EV charger circuit in the garage, recessed lighting in a room that has none, or a subpanel for a detached structure. Each job starts with confirming the panel has the capacity for what is being added. If it does not, that is part of the conversation before anything is scheduled. The full breakdown of installation work is on the services page.
What sets this service apart is straightforward: the scope of the electrical work is priced before it starts. When you call, we ask the right questions to understand what the job involves, and we give you a clear rate before anything is put on the schedule. You can ask what the price covers and get a straight answer.
What changes a quote is the nature of the job. A repair call where the fault is straightforward is a different scope from one where tracing the problem takes time and involves multiple circuits. A panel upgrade that requires service-entrance work is a different scope from a subpanel addition that feeds off an existing panel. We explain what is driving the price, not just the number.
We do not quote figures on this page because the right number depends on what we find when we look at the job. Call (943) 292-6289 and we will work through it with you.

Licensed electricians. Code-compliant wiring. Fair rates.
In most cases, yes. We plan the work around the schedule, confirm in advance which circuits will need to be isolated and for how long, and coordinate the timing so the disruption fits within a window that works for the business. Call (943) 292-6289 and we will talk through what the job involves and how to structure it.
It usually points to a tripped GFCI outlet that is wired upstream of the others, a tripped breaker, or a loose connection at one of the outlets in the circuit. GFCI outlets have a reset button, and one tripped outlet can cut power to several others downstream. If resetting the GFCI and the breaker does not restore power, call us and we will trace the circuit.
Yes, an intermittent fault is worth reporting promptly. A problem that appears and disappears is often a sign of a loose connection, a failing breaker, or wiring that is beginning to break down, and those conditions tend to worsen over time. Catching it early is safer and usually less involved than waiting until something stops working entirely. Call (943) 292-6289 and describe what you are seeing so we can assess what the visit should cover.
Yes. The housing in this area covers a wide range, from homes with updated panels and modern wiring to older properties that may have aluminium branch-circuit wiring, undersized panels, or circuits that were added over the years without documentation. We work across all of it, and we explain what we find before any work begins.
Outdoor lighting runs on circuits from the main panel, either low-voltage landscape circuits or standard line-voltage circuits depending on the fixtures involved. We install weatherproof outdoor outlets, run buried or conduit-protected wiring to the fixture locations, and make sure the circuits are properly protected. The approach depends on the layout of the property and what the lighting system requires.
We work with whatever access arrangement the property manager has in place. If a letting agent is coordinating entry, we confirm the details when the job is booked so the visit can proceed without delays. The person booking the job does not need to be present as long as access is arranged and someone with authority to approve the work has signed off on the scope.
In many cases, yes. Panel work and service upgrades often require a temporary shutoff, but work on individual circuits can frequently be isolated so the rest of the property stays live. We plan the job with that in mind where it is practical and let you know in advance which circuits will be affected and for how long.
Yes. Landlords and property managers with multiple units often schedule work across several addresses at once, and we handle those conversations the same way as any other call. Describe the properties and the work involved when you call (943) 292-6289 and we will work out a schedule that makes sense for the scope.
Running power to a detached garage involves a dedicated circuit from the main panel, a cable run to the structure, and a subpanel or outlet installation inside the garage depending on what the space needs. We assess the panel capacity first, then size the circuit for the intended use, whether that is basic lighting and outlets or a workshop with heavier equipment. The route the cable takes, above ground or buried, depends on the property layout and local requirements.
We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, which covers early morning and evening windows that work for many commercial properties that cannot have electrical work done during business hours. Call (943) 292-6289 and describe the property, the scope, and the scheduling constraints, and we will find a time that fits.
Permit requirements vary depending on the scope of the work and where the property is located. Panel upgrades and new circuit installations typically involve an inspection process, and we handle that coordination as part of the job. We confirm what applies at your address before work begins, so you are not left to figure it out on your own.
