Who handles what in Atlanta
Georgia licenses electrical contractors through the State Construction Industry Licensing Board, with an online lookup. If a service upgrade needs a new meter or a disconnect at the street, the electrician will usually coordinate with Georgia Power on scheduling.
The local picture in Atlanta
Winter ice storms are rare but can bring down trees and power lines. Georgia has a deregulated natural gas market, so you buy gas from a marketer while Atlanta Gas Light runs the pipes.
Atlanta has a large tree canopy, which means falling limbs and clogged gutters after storms. Additions and remodels often bring newer wiring into one part of a house while the rest stays original, so a full check helps.
Long cooling seasons push AC circuits hard, and that's when loose connections and aging panels show their limits. Georgia Power supplies electricity in Atlanta.
What to have ready
Make a short list of every outlet and light that's acting up. It saves time once the electrician starts testing.

Questions from Atlanta residents
Should I get a whole-house surge protector?
It's a reasonable add-on if storms or utility surges are common where you live. It works best alongside plug-in protectors for sensitive electronics.
Is a warm outlet cover a problem?
Yes. Warm or discolored outlets and switches can mean a loose wire or overloaded circuit. Stop using that outlet and have an electrician look.
Which parts of Atlanta can you help with?
Most likely. We cover East Atlanta, Virginia-Highland, Inman Park and Grant Park and other parts of Atlanta, across 30303, 30305, 30306, 30307, 30308 and others. If nobody's available, we'll tell you, and you can call back later or pick another day that works better.
Do I need a permit for an EV charger?
In most places, a new 240-volt circuit for a charger does need a permit. The electrician can tell you what your city requires and handle the paperwork.
Neighbors with the same issue? In buildings close together, that's worth mentioning when you call.
