Established in 1994, Mr. Electric® is a global franchise organization providing electrical installation and repair services. Recognized by Entrepreneur magazine among its “Franchise 500,” Mr. Electric franchisees provide these services to both residential and commercial customers at almost 200 locations worldwide. Mr. Electric is a subsidiary of The Dwyer Group, Inc., family of service franchises. Mr. Electric is now one of twelve service brands owned by The Dwyer Group. Each brand shares a Code of Values and culture to live by, which not only outline how we work in a professional environment, but also how we live our daily lives.

"My elderly mother called Mr. Electric to get a light installed over her garage door. Mr. Electric came out and told her they could do that but she needed her electric box relaced and they could do everything for $7000. My mother who has memory problems agreed to the service. After they installed the electric box and wired everything up then they told her that her hot water heater that she had installed a few years ago was not up to code because it was too close to the electric box they just installed but they could move it for her for another $5000. Unfortunately, mom paid for this too. I cannot believe there are humans who are so disgusting that they prey on little old ladies for a living. Please be very careful with these crooks because they have no conscious and will take you for every penny."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Combining generator installation with other upgrades in Athens can streamline your project and reduce disruption. If your home needs an electrical panel upgrade or HVAC work, coordinating these tasks can minimize labor overlap and avoid multiple site visits. Many Athens homes benefit from bundling electrical improvements, especially when scheduling is tight due to limited local contractors. Planning ahead helps ensure efficient generator installation and smoother project management.

Helpful?

When planning generator installation in Athens, consider the area’s limestone soil and sloped lots, which can impact placement and drainage. Smaller property sizes require attention to noise and space restrictions, and some neighborhoods have HOA rules or noise ordinances to follow. Check fuel availability, such as natural gas or propane, and keep in mind that local installer schedules fill quickly, so early planning is recommended.

Helpful?

Athens homeowners often make mistakes such as underestimating generator size for cooling needs, placing units too close to HVAC equipment, or choosing locations prone to flooding. Skipping necessary permits, misjudging fuel requirements, and opting for manual instead of automatic transfer switches are also common. Another frequent oversight is neglecting to set up a maintenance plan with a local technician, which is essential for reliable generator installation.

Helpful?

Athens’ long storm season, high summer temperatures, and heavy rainfall all influence generator installation. Hot, humid weather means proper ventilation and moisture protection are crucial for equipment longevity. Outdoor work can be delayed by frequent storms, so scheduling during cooler, drier months is ideal. Additionally, occasional winter ice events make freeze protection important, ensuring your generator installation remains dependable year-round.

Helpful?

In Athens, generator installation for a whole-house standby unit typically takes two to four days, factoring in site preparation, electrical work, and inspections. Portable generator hookups are usually finished in less than a day. Unique to Athens, summer thunderstorms and high humidity can cause weather-related delays, and local contractor demand peaks during storm season, so scheduling early is key for a timely installation.
