Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my service entrance cable is damaged? +
Signs of trouble: cracks in the weatherhead, aluminum corrosion, water pooling, or sagging cable. Over 20 years, UV, heat, and ice stress the sheathing. If you see damage, call us for a free walk-through; a failing service entrance is a fire risk.
Why is aluminum service entrance cable a problem? +
Aluminum oxidizes faster than copper, increasing resistance and heat. Over time, this causes loose connections and potential fires at the meter or lugs. If your 1970s–1980s home has aluminum SE, we recommend upgrade to copper or a new meter base.
Does SE cable replacement mean power outage? +
Yes — we coordinate a 4–8 hour disconnect with Georgia Power, usually same day. We pull the permit, complete the swap, and Georgia Power re-energizes you. If you also upgrade the panel or add a surge SPD, we do that during the outage window.

Real Google reviews from real metro Atlanta customers.
“Jairo did an outstanding job installing the temporary power pole at my construction site. His work was clean, efficient, and fully up to code. He showed up on time, communicated clearly throughout the process, and made everything seamless from start to finish. I highly recommend Jairo to anyone looking for a reliable and professional electrician. Definitely one of the best I've worked with.”
