Electrical Services and Residential & Commercial Panel Upgrades
From panel upgrades to whole-house rewiring, Burney Electrical Services handles residential and commercial electrical work throughout Decatur and the greater Atlanta area.
We repair, rewire, and upgrade electrical panels. Residential electrical panels are often installed in laundry rooms or garages. They are the hubs where power from an electric company enters a home or building and gets distributed through circuits throughout the structure. In older homes or buildings, electrical panels sometimes need upgrading to accommodate the modern household's device and appliance power demands. Commercial electrical panels may be located outside. Burney electricians service both residential and commercial electrical panels.

Signs that your electrical panel may need upgrading include crackling sounds coming from the panel, rusty or corroded circuit breakers, or warmth inside the panel. Another sign is if appliances no longer run at full power. At Burney Electrical Services, we upgrade panels through rewiring, bus bar replacement, and circuit breaker replacement.

Appliance Circuits
Large appliances usually require a dedicated circuit. If they share a circuit with other appliances, the power draw can overload the circuit and cause overheating, tripping, or even fire. Call Burney Electrical Services to evaluate your wiring and install dedicated appliance circuits. Appliances that may need a dedicated circuit include refrigerators, wall ovens, microwaves, electric ranges, dishwashers, freezers, garbage disposals, washers, dryers, heating and a/c units, space heaters, furnaces, water heaters, water pumps, central vacuums, saunas, and garage door openers.

GFCI Outlets
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are designed to prevent people from getting shocked. They are usually installed in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and porches, where they immediately stop the flow of electric current when a sensor inside them detects a flow imbalance. GFCI outlets have a reset button that allows the current to flow again normally. Burney electricians install GFCI outlets.

Smoke Detectors
According to the National Fire Protection Association, you should have smoke detectors inside each bedroom in your home and outside every sleeping area and on every level of your home, including the basement. You should also have carbon monoxide detectors, especially if your home is plumbed with gas. Call an electrician to install your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Arc-Fault Breakers
Arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCI) or arc-fault detection devices (AFDD) are circuit breakers that trigger when they detect an electric arc generated by loose wiring connections. Arc-fault breakers distinguish normal arcs from faulty arcs, which are potentially dangerous. Building codes in the United States and Canada require that AFCI breakers be installed in residential bedrooms. Burney electricians install this kind of breaker.

Whole House Rewiring
Electrical systems in older homes sometimes get overloaded by modern households' appliances and devices. Whole-house rewiring is one solution to the problem. How do you know if your electrical system is struggling? Look for these signs:
- Lights seem dimmer than they used to be
- Lights sometimes flicker
- Plugs and cords feel warm or hot
- You can hear buzzing sounds in outlets
- You get a small shock or see sparks when plugging in a cord
- Breakers trip regularly

Electrical Inspections
We recommend an annual inspection of your home or building's electrical system. In an electrical inspection, Burney electricians examine all components of your electrical system to make sure all is in order. If there is damaged wiring, failing components, faulty outlets, etc., our electrician will make repairs. Schedule an annual electrical inspection with Burney Electrical Services. Problems identified early can help you avoid costly repairs later. Inspections can also show up issues that could lead to fires.
