When electrical work is done properly, it leaves a record that holds up. A panel upgrade documented with a permit, a rewire that passes inspection, a circuit added to code - these things matter when a property is sold, when a landlord needs to demonstrate habitability, or when an insurer asks what was done and when. Five Pines Electrical handles that kind of work in Stonecrest and across DeKalb County, and every job is carried out by licensed electricians who know what code-compliant wiring looks like.
Homeowners dealing with a fault, property managers keeping a rental up to standard, businesses that need circuits added for new equipment - the work varies, but the approach does not. You get the scope explained before anything starts, and the job is tested before we leave. Call (943) 292-6289 to talk through what you need.
Electrical pricing depends on what the job actually involves, and that is not something a number on a page can capture honestly. A straightforward outlet replacement is a different conversation from a service upgrade or a whole-home rewire. What drives the cost is the scope: how much wiring needs to be run, whether the panel has the capacity to support what is being added, and what access looks like inside the walls or the ceiling.
When you call, we ask the right questions to get a clear picture of the job. You get a price that covers the work described, and you can ask what it includes and get a straight answer. If something changes once we are on site and can see what is behind the wall, we explain that before we continue. The scope of the electrical work is priced before it starts. The full breakdown of what each type of job covers is on the service page.
A city of this size generates a wide range of electrical calls. Stonecrest has newer subdivisions alongside older housing stock, rental properties, commercial spaces, and everything in between. What one call looks like has nothing to do with the next.
Some calls start with a clear symptom: a dead outlet, a breaker that will not hold, lights that flicker when the air conditioning kicks on. Others are less obvious, where something feels off but the cause is not visible. We trace the problem to its source before any work begins. That means checking the circuit, the panel, the wiring feeding the area in question, and the protection devices that should be doing their job. We get to the bottom of the problem fast.
Older homes in the area sometimes carry panels that were sized for a different era. A 100-amp service that handled a household in the 1970s does not handle today's appliances, EV chargers, and home office loads without strain. Signs of an undersized panel show up as repeated breaker trips, dimming lights under load, or simply running out of breaker slots. We handle 200-amp service upgrades, subpanel additions, and the service-entrance work that goes along with them. We run a load calculation before recommending a size, so the upgrade matches what the property actually needs.
Adding a circuit for a new appliance, running wiring for a garage or basement, replacing outdated wiring that was never meant to carry modern loads - these are jobs that come up regularly in a city with a mix of housing ages. Aluminum branch-circuit wiring is found in homes built in certain decades, and it requires careful remediation rather than a simple swap. Whole-home rewiring is a larger undertaking, but it is sometimes the right answer when the existing wiring cannot safely support what the household needs.
Every job gets treated like it matters, because it does.
Outdoor outlets need more than a cover plate. Weatherproof enclosures and in-use covers keep moisture out of the receptacle whether something is plugged in or not. We install these on patios, garage exteriors, and any outdoor location where a standard outlet would be exposed to the elements. GFCI protection is required at outdoor locations by code, and we do not skip it.
Doorbell wiring, data lines, and low-voltage rough-in for audio and security systems all run alongside the electrical work on a renovation or new installation. We handle the rough-in side so the conduit and wiring paths are in place before walls close up, and we coordinate with whatever system is being installed.
A panel with missing or incorrect labels is a problem that shows up at the worst time. We identify every circuit, test it against what is actually connected, and label the panel clearly. For older properties where the original documentation is long gone, this is one of the more useful things we can do before any other work starts.
This is the panel and service work described above, handled as a standalone project when the property's capacity is the primary issue. We coordinate the service-entrance and meter work, pull the necessary permits, and see the job through inspection.
Rewiring is not always an all-or-nothing job. Sometimes a specific part of the house needs updated wiring while the rest is sound. We assess what is there, explain what the scope covers, and work through it in a way that minimizes disruption to the rest of the property.
Adding outlets where there are not enough, replacing older two-prong receptacles, installing GFCI and AFCI outlets where code requires them, and upgrading switches to dimmers or smart controls are all straightforward jobs that make a real difference in how a space works. We take pride in the electrical work we leave behind.
Doing electrical work right matters, and we will help you get it right, whether it is a single outlet or a full list of items from a pre-sale inspection report.
Fast turnaround. Fair pricing. Safe results.
Same-day service is often available, and it is worth calling to ask. We are open every day from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, which gives a real window to work with even when something goes wrong in the evening or on a weekend. Electrical problems do not wait, and neither do we, so if a breaker will not reset or an outlet has stopped working in a kitchen that needs to stay functional, call and we will find the earliest opening.
For tenants and businesses that cannot simply shut down a space while work is done, we talk through the job on the call and figure out an approach that works around the schedule. A rental property where a tenant is home, a retail space that needs to stay open - these are situations we deal with regularly. Clear communication from the first call to the final test is how every job runs.
Electrical work in an apartment or multi-unit building runs differently from a single-family home. The panel serving your unit may be inside the apartment, in a utility corridor, or in a shared electrical room that the building manages. Knowing where it is and what it controls matters before any diagnostic work starts.
When part of the electrical supply is communal, meaning the building's main service feeds multiple units through a shared infrastructure, some of what happens at the meter and the service entrance is the building owner's or property manager's responsibility, not the tenant's. We can identify where the boundary sits and explain what falls on which side. If the work touches anything outside the individual unit, the property manager or building owner is the right person to involve before we schedule.
Work is carried out by licensed electricians who know how multi-unit wiring is typically laid out, and we explain what we find before anything is changed.

Stonecrest is where this page is focused, but the surrounding communities in DeKalb County are covered as well. We schedule calls in Lithonia, Redan, Lakeview Estates, Panthersville, and Candler-McAfee, along with the neighborhoods that sit between them.
If you are not sure whether your address falls within the area we serve, call (943) 292-6289 and ask. Coverage is not something you should have to guess at, and we will give you a straight answer on the call.
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.
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. Buyers schedule electrical inspections before closing all the time, and we handle those calls the same way as any other inspection request. The person booking the visit does not need to be the current owner. Call (943) 292-6289 and we will set up a time that works with the showing or access arrangement you have in place.
If the problem is inside the unit, the tenant or landlord can call us directly and we will schedule a visit. If the issue involves shared electrical infrastructure, such as a corridor panel or the building's main service, the property manager or building owner is the right person to involve first. We can help identify where the boundary sits and explain what falls on which side when we are on site.
It often does. Homes built in earlier decades may have wiring that was installed before current code requirements took effect, panels that were never sized for today's loads, or protection devices that are missing or outdated. An electrical safety inspection is a practical starting point for any older property, because it identifies what is there and what, if anything, needs attention before other work begins.
We work alongside contractors handling cabinetry, plumbing, and tile when the project requires it. The electrical rough-in typically happens before walls close, and the finish work, fixtures, outlets, and switches, comes in after surfaces are done. We confirm the sequence with whoever is managing the renovation so the electrical stages line up with the rest of the work.
When wiring cannot be accessed directly, we use a combination of fish tape, flexible drill bits, and inspection tools to work through existing cavities where possible. In some situations, a small amount of drywall access is unavoidable. We explain what the access situation looks like before starting and keep the disruption as limited as the job allows.
The mix in Stonecrest reflects a city that has both newer construction and older housing stock. Common calls include panel upgrades in homes where the original service is no longer adequate, outlet and circuit additions in properties being updated for sale or rental, and fault-finding in older wiring that has started showing signs of wear. Surge protection is also a frequent request given the storm activity that moves through this part of Georgia.
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.
It helps to have the area around the panel reasonably accessible, but it does not need to be completely empty. If stored items are blocking the panel door or making it unsafe to work near, we will ask you to move them before we start. Let us know when you call if access is limited and we can talk through what preparation makes sense.
A documented, code-compliant electrical job is worth more than a quick fix that nobody can verify later. Five Pines Electrical handles the work that holds up, whether that is a repair, an upgrade, or a full rewire, and we explain the scope and the price before anything is scheduled.

| Service Type | What's Included | Ideal For | Worth Knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wiring & Circuit Installation | New circuit runs, 240-volt and 220-volt outlet installation, Garage and workshop wiring, Basement circuit installation | Homeowners adding capacity or setting up a dedicated workspace | Every new circuit is sized for its intended load and connected at the panel with the correct breaker. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection | Panel-level surge protector installation, Whole-house voltage spike protection, Protection for appliances and electronics, Surge protection for HVAC circuits | Homeowners in storm-prone areas or anyone with sensitive electronics | DeKalb County sees active summer storm seasons with frequent lightning. A panel-mounted surge protector covers the entire home, not just the outlets with a strip plugged in. |
| Older-Home Rewiring | Aluminum wiring remediation, Knob-and-tube removal and replacement, Whole-home rewiring, Grounding and bonding upgrades | Owners of pre-1980 homes with outdated or unsafe wiring | Aluminum branch-circuit wiring and knob-and-tube systems were not built for modern electrical loads. A rewire brings the home up to current code and removes the safety risks that come with outdated wiring. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | Dryer and range outlet installation, Refrigerator and dishwasher circuits, Microwave and washer circuits, Load calculations for new appliances | Kitchens and laundry rooms getting new or upgraded appliances | Running a high-draw appliance on a shared circuit is a common cause of repeated breaker trips. A dedicated circuit fixes that at the source. |
| Basement & Sump-Pump Circuits | Basement outlet and lighting circuits, Dedicated sump pump circuit, GFCI protection in below-grade spaces, Basement workshop wiring | Homeowners finishing a basement or protecting against water damage | A sump pump on a shared circuit is a risk during a storm outage. A dedicated circuit with proper GFCI protection is the right setup for below-grade equipment. |
| Electrical Panel & Service Upgrades | 200-amp service upgrades, Subpanel installation, Panel replacement, Meter and service entrance upgrades | Older homes with undersized panels or anyone adding significant electrical load | A 100-amp panel that worked fine decades ago often cannot keep up with today's appliances, EV chargers, and home office equipment. A 200-amp upgrade resolves the capacity problem and supports what you actually need. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair | Breaker replacement, AFCI and arc-fault breaker installation, Fuse box troubleshooting, Breaker panel repairs | Homes with breakers that trip repeatedly or fail to reset | A breaker that keeps tripping under normal load is often a sign of an undersized circuit or a failing breaker, not just a nuisance. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting | Dead outlets and switches, Flickering or dimming lights, Tripping breakers, Circuit diagnosis | Homeowners and tenants dealing with an immediate electrical problem | A proper diagnosis comes first so you know exactly what the repair involves before any work begins. |
| Lighting Installation | Recessed and LED lighting, Pendant and chandelier installation, Under-cabinet lighting, Exterior and security lighting | Homeowners remodeling or anyone replacing outdated fixtures | We handle the wiring and the fixture, so the job is complete in one visit rather than requiring a separate electrician follow-up. |
