"Gary is a cerebral, likable, and low key guy with great technical knowledge and skills. I think of him as a thinking man's electrician. He goes about his diagnostic and repair work in a careful, step-by-step manner. We had a somewhat complex problem, a sudden short circuit in an underground electrical line behind our house of unknown cause. The line had to be replaced. A new 70-foot trench had to be dug and new conduit installed and hooked up. The electrical work had to be coordinated with a trenching crew. Gary's work was excellent, and he always took personal ownership of the problem and its solution. He proceeded systematically and carefully and kept me informed of the status every step along the way. The project took over 2-3 weeks overall, including the digging and the electrical work. It was sometimes difficult and messy but Gary soldiered on, cool and unfazed. His fee was reasonable and fair. We now consider Gary to be our regular electrician for any future projects."

"The Meer Electric employees were professional and knowledgeable. The project manager assessed my issue and clearly explained the work they proposed to solve my wiring issue. They also worked to fit me into their busy pre-holiday schedule so I wouldn't be without a range. The electricians who did the job arrived as promised, wrestled the old range out of a very tight space, and installed the new wiring and outlet. They also properly grounded the electrical service panel to meet code. The lead worker explained everything they'd done and they cleaned up the work area. First time I've used Meer, but based on that experience I would definitely hire them again."

"They were unable to identify or correct the humidity problem (which we discovered they caused) and so hired a forensic investigation which demonstrated that the static pressure testing was far outside of the manufacturer’s specs due to numerous issues including faulty installation.

"I had a brand new heat pump system installed in April 2023. They sent subcontractors to install it who were very unprofessional and they left bare wires hanging out of the machine and it did not look like it was installed correctly. It stopped working completely 4 times in 5 months, the last time was on October 10, service tech said, “I really don’t agree with the way they installed it “ he said the wires were barely connected so it kept losing power. He got it working again and left. Two weeks ago it got cold and we turned the system to heat for the very first time. It blew cold air. We made ANOTHER service call. The technician said that a switch had “gone bad” because, “they wear out” we explained that we have never used the heat even once, so how could the switch be worn out. Then they advised they had to order a part. Over a week later the part came in and they returned and that still didn’t fix. Now they say the compressor has, “gone bad” and when we reiterated that we have never even used it so how is it worn out they answered, “they just go bad sometimes” we still don’t have heat, they say they have to order more parts. We asked them to look over the whole system because we don’t think it is installed right and I am genuinely concerned that it is a fire hazard and they looked at it, put electrical tape on some hanging wires and left. We have had to take SIX days off work so far and buy space heaters and we are no closer to having a working system. This unit is less then SIX MONTHS OLD. At this point I have no choice but to pursue legal action. This whole experience has been terrible and has cost me hundreds in missed time at work and I’m still paying for a system that does not work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

For generator installation in Atlanta, select weatherproof enclosures like powder-coated aluminum to withstand humidity and rain. Use reinforced concrete pads tailored for clay soil, and install French drains to manage runoff. Choose automatic transfer switches and outdoor-rated, moisture-resistant wiring. If natural gas isn’t available, properly sized propane tanks are a reliable alternative for standby generator systems, ensuring consistent backup power.

Helpful?

When hiring in Atlanta, prioritize generator installation professionals familiar with local codes, soil conditions, and weather challenges. Look for a proven track record with backup power systems and strong local references. Ensure quotes include permits, inspections, and Atlanta-specific requirements. Ask about maintenance plans and post-installation support, and confirm they have experience navigating HOA restrictions and utility connections for a smooth project.

Helpful?

In Atlanta, hidden costs during generator installation projects often include site preparation for clay soil, installing drainage systems, and removing trees or shrubs for safe placement. Additional expenses may arise from upgrading electrical panels, paying utility connection fees, or meeting noise and setback regulations. Weather-related needs, such as elevating the generator in flood-prone areas, can also add to the project’s complexity.

Helpful?

In Atlanta, homeowners often overlook the need for backup power during summer storms and fail to secure proper permits before starting generator installation projects. Placing standby generators too close to windows or neighboring properties is another frequent issue. Many also underestimate how clay soil affects drainage, leading to foundation problems, or forget to account for local noise ordinances and HOA restrictions, which can delay or halt installation.

Helpful?

Your Atlanta home is a strong candidate for generator installation if you have adequate space to meet local setback rules, stable soil for a concrete pad, and access to natural gas or room for a propane tank. Ensure your electrical panel can support a transfer switch, and check for proper drainage. Reviewing HOA guidelines and evaluating your home’s essential backup power needs are also important steps.
