Something stops working and you need to know why. A breaker trips and will not stay reset. An outlet is dead. The lights in one room flicker every time the refrigerator kicks on. Five Pines Electrical handles those calls in Peachtree Corners every day, along with the bigger jobs: panel upgrades, new circuits, generator hookups, EV charger wiring, and full electrical installations for homes and commercial properties. Work is carried out by licensed electricians, and the scope of the electrical work is priced before it starts.
Peachtree Corners is a city with a real mix of property types, from established residential neighborhoods to office parks and commercial spaces. That mix produces a wide range of electrical calls, and we handle all of them. If you are a homeowner dealing with aging wiring, a business that needs additional circuits for new equipment, or a property manager scheduling an inspection before a tenant moves in, the process starts the same way: call (943) 292-6289 and we will talk through what the job involves.
Electrical problems don't wait, and neither do we, especially when the issue is not a single fault but a system that has been asked to carry more than it was built for. A home that has added a home office, a second refrigerator, an EV charger, or a new HVAC unit is putting load on a panel that may have been sized for a much simpler household. The same applies to commercial spaces that have added equipment or expanded into adjacent units.
The first step is a load calculation. We look at what is already drawing from the panel, what is being added, and whether the service entrance and meter can support the combined demand. If the panel is undersized, we explain the options: a service upgrade to a higher amperage, a subpanel to feed a specific area, or both. If the wiring feeding a particular circuit is the bottleneck, we address that directly. Every job gets treated like it matters, because it does.
Not every electrical call looks the same, and the kind of property matters. A house built in an earlier decade has different concerns than a recently constructed commercial unit. A detached garage with a single circuit has different needs than a kitchen that is being fully renovated. We approach each situation based on what is actually there, not a template.
Getting your power back is easier than you think, but only when the diagnosis is right. Flickering lights, dead outlets, tripping breakers, and warm or buzzing outlet covers are all symptoms, not causes. We trace the problem to its source, whether that is a failing breaker, a loose connection, a wiring fault, or missing AFCI or GFCI protection where code requires it. Arc-fault and ground-fault breakers are part of the fix on circuits where they belong, not an optional add-on. We get to the bottom of the problem fast.
Older panels in Peachtree Corners homes sometimes carry equipment that was never designed to handle modern electrical loads. Fuse boxes, undersized breaker panels, and aluminum branch-circuit wiring all come up in properties that have not had a full electrical review in years. We handle panel replacement, 200-amp service upgrades, subpanel installation, and service-entrance and meter upgrades when the situation calls for it. Grounding and bonding are part of every panel job, not a separate line item. The service page carries the full breakdown of what each type of panel work involves.
Adding a ceiling fan where there was no wiring before, running a dedicated circuit for a dryer or a range, installing weatherproof outdoor outlets, or wiring a detached garage all fall into this category. Installation work is straightforward when the panel has the capacity and the wiring route is clean. We check both before we start and explain what the job involves before anything is scheduled.
Same-day service is often available in Peachtree Corners, and we are open every day from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. For calls that cannot wait, that window matters. A tripped main breaker, a burning smell near an outlet, or a circuit that has gone dead in a space that needs to stay operational are all situations where waiting until next week is not an option.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay open during the work, we talk through the scope on the call so you know which circuits will be affected and for how long. If the job can be staged to minimize disruption, we plan it that way. You are told what to expect before anyone shows up, and clear communication from the first call to the final test is how every job runs here.
Pricing language on a service website is often vague, and that is not useful to anyone. When you call, we ask the right questions to understand the job, and we give you the scope of the electrical work priced before it starts. You know what the rate covers before anything is scheduled, and if you have questions about what is included, you get a straight answer.
What changes a quote is what the job turns out to require. A panel that looks like a straightforward breaker replacement may have a wiring problem behind it. A circuit that looks like a simple run may need a service upgrade first. We explain what we find before we continue, so the price you agreed to on the call is not the last conversation you have about cost. Call (943) 292-6289 and ask what the work involves. You will get a real answer.
A 100-amp service was standard for decades, and it is not enough for a home running central air conditioning, an EV charger, and a modern kitchen. We handle 200-amp service upgrades and larger, including the service-entrance and meter work that goes with them. The upgrade is sized from a load calculation, not a guess.
An inspection gives you a documented picture of what the wiring looks like and where it stands relative to current code. That is useful before buying a property, before starting a renovation, or when a rental unit has not been reviewed in years. Work is carried out by licensed electricians, and the report covers the panel, the branch circuits, and the outlets throughout the property.
Outlet and switch work covers a wide range, from replacing a single worn outlet to wiring an entire room with new GFCI-protected receptacles. We install USB outlets, dimmer switches, smart switches, and weatherproof outdoor outlets, and we replace two-prong outlets where three-prong and grounded receptacles are needed.
High-draw appliances need their own circuit. A dryer, a range, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, and an EV charger each require a dedicated run from the panel, sized for the appliance's load. Running one of these on a shared circuit is a common cause of repeated breaker trips, and it is a straightforward fix when the panel has the capacity.
Outdoor outlets need proper weatherproof covers and GFCI protection to meet code and to hold up in the region's weather. We install exterior outlets on patios, along garage walls, and at other locations where outdoor power is needed, with the right enclosures and grounding for the application.
A detached structure with no power, or one running off an extension cord, is a common situation. We run a proper feed from the main panel, size the subpanel or circuit for what the space needs, and wire it to code. Electric gate operators and outbuilding circuits fall into the same category. Knob-and-tube replacement in older garages and outbuildings is part of this work when it comes up.
Fast turnaround. Fair pricing. Safe results.
Most of the practical detail is on the page about wiring and panels.
We cover Peachtree Corners and the communities around it throughout Gwinnett County. That includes Norcross, Berkeley Lake, Doraville, Johns Creek, and Dunwoody, along with the neighborhoods and subdivisions in between. If you are not sure whether we reach your address, call and ask. We take calls every day from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
We take pride in the electrical work we leave behind, wherever the job is located. Reach out and we will get it diagnosed.
It starts with a circuit from the main panel, sized for what the shed will be used for. A shed used only for lighting and a few outlets needs a much smaller circuit than one running power tools or a compressor. We confirm panel capacity, run the circuit, and install the appropriate outlets and any subpanel the space requires. The job scope depends on the shed's intended use, so it helps to describe that when you call.
It can, yes. Homes built before certain code updates may have wiring methods or panel configurations that do not meet current standards, even if nothing has failed yet. That does not mean the home is unsafe by default, but it does mean an inspection is worth having before you add significant load or renovate. We look at what is actually there and explain what, if anything, needs attention.
We schedule the visit for the gap between occupancies and focus on the specific work the unit needs. Safety inspections, outlet replacements, and lighting work can typically be completed in a single visit. If the scope is larger, we talk through what can realistically be finished in the available time before anything is booked.
It can. A photo of the panel label, the breaker arrangement, and any visible wiring gives us useful context before the visit and can help us arrive with the right materials for common panel makes and configurations. It is not required, but if you want to send something along when you call, it is worth doing.
Yes, that information is genuinely useful. Knowing whether a fault happens under load, at a certain time of day, or only when specific appliances are running helps narrow down the cause before we arrive. Write down what you observed and mention it when you call, and we will factor it into the diagnostic approach.
Most electrical work leaves very little mess. Outlet and switch replacements, panel work, and fixture installations involve no wall opening at all. Running new wiring through finished walls sometimes requires small access holes, which we keep as minimal as the route allows. We clean up the work area before leaving, though patching and painting any openings is typically handled by the homeowner or a separate contractor.
Yes. We work in offices, retail spaces, and commercial buildings throughout the area, handling panel upgrades, new circuit installation, outlet and lighting work, and electrical rough-in for build-outs. Commercial work is scheduled with the same process as residential: call, discuss the scope, get a price before anything is booked.
The method depends on the property layout, the distance involved, and what the applicable code requires for that type of installation. Underground runs in conduit are common for permanent installations, but there are situations where an aerial run is permitted. We look at the specific conditions at the property and explain what the options are before any work begins.
Older homes in established Gwinnett County neighborhoods often show up with undersized panels, aluminum branch-circuit wiring, or outlets that have never been updated to GFCI protection. We also see a lot of calls around adding circuits for EV chargers and high-draw appliances as households upgrade. A call and a description of what you are seeing is usually enough to give you a clear picture of what the job involves.
We trace circuits by hand using a circuit tracer and by testing outlets and fixtures directly. It takes more time than working from drawings, but it gives us an accurate picture of what is actually in the walls rather than what someone recorded years ago. We document what we find as part of the job so you have a clearer record going forward.
An inspection report covers the condition of the panel, the wiring, the outlets, and the grounding and bonding throughout the property. It notes what meets current code, what does not, and what the practical risks of any deficiencies are. You get a clear picture of what is there rather than a pass or fail with no explanation.
