Kalahari Electrical Services

Wow... I own a business in Lawrenceville and had an emergency on Saturday and called Kalahari and they were able to respond within an hour! I had them replace my entire 400amp panel... A huge job! Not only did they do an awesome job, they were able to do the work late at night so it wouldn't effect my business! This company is very impressive. I can't recommend them enough... Kalahari will be the only electrician I will use in the future! Thank you Kalahari!

Great company Jan came out and helped us out after a bad storm. I completely recommend this company!

Contacted Kalahari again. Hired someone to install a ceiling fan, but, there was a challenge in connecting the fan to the switches on the wall. Once again, professional electricians to the rescue! I have to untrain my own behavior because I forgot that normal people flip a light switch to operate the lights. Thank You and I waited way too long to call.

My go to electrician. Kalahari has done multiple jobs for me over the years including wiring a new home theater room, installing a Tesla charger, and troubleshooting landscaping lighting. They are always very responsive, present their diagnosis of an electrical issue in detail, and give me all available options and costs for needed repair. They recently helped diagnose an electrical issue that actually stemmed from the Georgia Power service coming from the street and then contacted Georgia Power on my behalf to coordinate the repair. Based on years of great service, Kalahari is the only electrician I will use.

I called KALAHARI ELECTRICAL SERVICES when our main circuit breaker blew out a few days agI. our EMC came out right away and diagnosed it. We needed the main circuit breaker replaced. KALAHARI told me I would need a permit from Gwinnett County before they can come out and fix it! permits are not required for repairs apparently the person I talked to did not know that! if you want an electrician without a clue these are your people.

Jim Wise of Wise Electric was out thirty minutes after we called him. fixed it no permit required

We have a rental property that was in need of a few electrical repairs. We coordinated with Kalihari to enter the unoccupied property via a lockbox as we were out of town. The repairs were completed but some drywall was removed to access the junction box and we were never told about the drywall removal. In my experience any electrical or plumbing repairs done do not include repairing the removed drywall. But the fact that drywall was removed was never communicated to us was an issue.
When we went to check out the electrical repairs we found they were complete and well done...but we also noticed a poor drywall repair on the wall on the backside of the junction box, unpainted.
We informed Kalihari, they acknowledge the miscommunication and we were assured that our situation would be remedied.
To our pleasant surprise when we subsequently returned to the property we found the area where the drywall was removed had been professionally repaired AND painted. We are not sure if the drywall man found the matching paint in the storage closet or he obtained a color match at a paint store. Either way I consider this level of service and attention to detail far beyond what I expected. I highly recommend Kalihari!

After several calls to other companies, Kalahari was the only one that was responsive. After they arrived, they gave a quick diagnosis, fixed and found potential issues ~$200 later. Although this visit was expensive, it came with a thorough inspection of my home. The technician was informative and took his time explaining all the findings and discoveries of inspection.

Due to character limits on Yelp reviews, I am not able to post the full review. But you can post pictures, so I will post a shortened review along with screen shots of my Facebook review if anyone is interested in reading it the full story)

In short, please do not use this company. They replaced our electrical panel and since then we have spent over $1k fixing what was (suddenly and mysteriously according to the owner) broken after the panel was replaced. Below is the list of things that have either had to be replaced or had to be fixed. For the full story (it's a novel) check the screenshots.

2x surge protectors (replaced)
1x light switch (owner fixed, begrudgingly)
1x outlet (owner fixed, begrudgingly)
1x dryer****

****After replacing the dryer which was delivered yesterday (9/2/20 proof in pics) we have discovered that it is the outlet that the dryer is plugged into that doesn't work. We still replaced the dryer but apparently we didn't need to. When the owner came out to look at the old dryer, HE NEVER CHECKED THE OUTLET, JUST TOLD US THE DRYER WENT BAD.

Please use another company, this one has caused us nothing but headache and empty wallets.

Just had the lighting in my kitchen updated by Jan, the owner of Kalahari Electrical. Moved 3 cans, added 1, and changed 1 can for a newer brighter one. Walking into my kitchen now makes me smile: it's brighter, and somehow looks cleaner. He came over, talked through various options, and did the work the same day. Definitely didn't try to ""up""sell... Would definitely use again. Kate

We hired them for three days..... there workers smelled of weed and body odor. I can deal with the weed and body odor, however on the fourth day they simply did not show up. So i guess we fired them but not really cuz they didnt show up to be fired. I spoke with the owner Jan , and he was rude and dismissive. I have since used another company and they have been fantastic.
