"The services were fine until time to pay. We called them 3 times in about a 10 day span. We had used their services before and they had been great and priced well. This time, my elderly father and I needed a fan put up, a bedroom overhead light changed out and some outlets and light switches replaced. Each time we called, they came out right away and did a great job. The person who did the work was very professional and seemed to know exactly what he was doing. But each time it was time to pay for the services, the sticker shock was unbelievable. Those 3 visits cost us over $2,200. For all 3 service calls combined, they could not have been here more than 2 hours combined. We truly feel that we were totally taken advantage of. I have done a lot of research since their last visit and no other electric company in the area charges anywhere near what they charged us for that little bit of work. We will never call them again and buyer beware. Make sure you get their pricing in advance, which was our mistake. They owe us a big apology and a refund."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Athens offers a variety of electrical contractors, including residential specialists for rewiring, panel upgrades, and generator installations. Some focus on HVAC electrical work, which is important for the local climate. You’ll also find commercial contractors for businesses, agricultural electricians for rural properties, and experts in smart home systems, solar panel wiring, EV charging stations, and pool or spa electrical projects throughout Limestone County.

Helpful?

In Athens, electrical maintenance should include quarterly GFCI outlet testing due to humidity. Schedule annual inspections of your electrical panel before storm season and clean outdoor fixtures to prevent pollen and dust buildup. After severe weather, check surge protectors for damage. Inspect AC and heating connections each season, and have a licensed electrician perform a thorough system review every few years for safety and efficiency.

Helpful?

In Athens, simple electrical projects like installing outlets or fixtures usually take a few hours to a day. Panel upgrades and generator installations are typically completed within two to three days. Whole-house rewiring or smart home upgrades can require one to two weeks. Permit approval is generally fast, but summer storms or older homes may extend timelines, especially during peak spring and summer months.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in Athens, it’s best to choose copper THWN-2 wiring for moisture resistance, especially in basements or outdoor areas. Use weatherproof electrical boxes and install GFCI outlets where water exposure is possible. Surge protectors are highly recommended due to frequent storms. For underground wiring, opt for PVC conduit, while EMT conduit is ideal indoors. Always select arc-fault breakers to meet AL safety codes.

Helpful?

Homes in Athens built before 1960 often need rewiring to meet modern safety standards. If your house has aluminum wiring, two-prong outlets, or frequent flickering lights, it’s time for electrical updates. Properties near the river or in older neighborhoods may also have outdated panels or moisture issues, making them strong candidates for panel upgrades, GFCI outlet installation, and comprehensive electrical inspections.
