"Keep Smiling sent me Roy Wint and I'm very glad they did. Roy installed a replacement ceiling fan as well as four recessed lights. The result of the project is a much better lit and livable living room. I want to extend special kudos to Roy. He was very professional, polite, and friendly. A joy to have working on my home. He went out of his way to avoid creating any holes in the ceiling other than those housing the lighting fixtures. And he also did a safety inspection of my home's fuse box. I can't say enough good about this young man. I'll definitely be calling him the next time I need electrical work done in my home."

"NES was great! Extremely professional and knowledgeable. He explained everything all the way through. I had tons of questions but he ended up really taking his time to answer them I had around 7 quotes from different companies but ultimately decided to go with NES because I felt I could trust the work. Even if the prices are similar, go with your gut and pick NES. There was no frills and extra bs. I ended up adding a ton of services on the original quote because the value it provided. If you are looking at this review you have most likely spoken with other vendors. I’ve talked to countless people saying they can’t give any ballpark quotes until they it. Scope of work may change when they see it BUT.. the price of the work shouldn’t change. Every vendor has a pricing sheet of the base level work. Electrical panel replacement (mine was fried) Surge protector Dedicated circuit for water heater 14-50 Nema plug (EV charger outlet)"

"We replaced the original roof on our house. I expressed my concerns about re-installation of the lightening rods to my roofer. We have had at least three direct hits since they were originally installed in 2013. My roofer called William who was very helpful. William offered to come out an make sure everything was 100% after re-installation. He came the day after I called and I'm glad he did. While the reinstall was the best he had seen (his words) there were issues after 5 year and 3 strikes that needed addressed. He fixed those and now I have a new roof and I am certain the lightening rods will work as intended. Highly recommend this company."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Athens, consider your home’s age—many houses built before 1950 may have outdated wiring that needs upgrading. Properties near the university or in student-heavy neighborhoods often require higher electrical capacity and may face stricter inspection standards. Game days can impact contractor availability, and the region’s clay soil can make underground installations more challenging. Rural areas may also experience more frequent power interruptions.

Helpful?

Before starting electrical work in Athens, confirm you have the correct permits for anything beyond simple fixture swaps. Notify utility providers if your project could disrupt service, and always check for underground lines before digging. If your property is in a historic neighborhood, extra approvals may be required. Make sure your plans meet the latest local electrical codes to prevent unexpected project delays.

Helpful?

In Athens, electrical maintenance should focus on preventing moisture damage and managing storm-related risks. Regularly check panels and outlets for signs of rust or dampness, especially in older homes. Test GFCI outlets monthly, and change smoke detector batteries twice a year. For homes built before 1990, schedule professional panel inspections every few years. Due to frequent thunderstorms, replace surge protectors every couple of years to maintain system reliability.

Helpful?

Athens’ humid climate and frequent storms mean outdoor electrical projects need weather-resistant materials and strong surge protection. Summer heat can put extra strain on your system and may slow project timelines, while milder winters allow for year-round work. Occasional ice storms can damage overhead wires, so many homeowners in Athens prefer underground electrical feeds for added safety and reliability.

Helpful?

In Athens, be cautious of electricians who offer unusually low quotes, request full payment upfront, or avoid obtaining required permits. Watch out if they won’t provide written warranties or local references. Avoid professionals who suggest skipping necessary approvals or taking shortcuts. After storms, be wary of unsolicited offers. Trustworthy contractors will have a strong local reputation and provide detailed, transparent estimates that outline all expected services.
