What we handle
10 kinds of electrical work, one call
Most calls start as a symptom: a breaker that won't stay on, an outlet that died, lights that flicker when something big kicks in. The pages below cover the work behind those symptoms, what's involved and what moves the price, so you know what you're asking for before you call.
Electrical Repair & Troubleshooting
Dead outlets, GFCI trips, flickering lights and half-dead circuits, traced to the cause instead of guessed at.
What's involvedPanel Upgrades & Breaker Box Replacement
Honest panel verdicts, Federal Pacific and Zinsco replacements, and 200-amp upgrades for houses that outgrew their service.
What's involvedWhole-House Surge Protection
A surge protector wired into your panel that clamps voltage spikes before they reach anything with a circuit board.
What's involvedLighting Installation
Recessed layouts planned before the saw, heavy fixtures on the right box, landscape lighting, and dimmers that behave.
What's involvedCeiling Fan Installation
New fans, replacements, and the fan-rated boxes that keep them from wobbling loose.
What's involvedEV Charger Installation
Level 2 charging circuits sized to what your panel can actually carry, permitted and inspected.
What's involvedGenerator Installation
Standby systems sized by real load, and the inlet and interlock that make a portable generator legal.
What's involvedEmergency Electrical Help
What counts as a real emergency, the exact first moves, and what can safely wait until morning.
What's involvedCommercial Electrical Work
Lighting retrofits, added circuits, exterior lighting and panel work for storefronts, offices, churches and small warehouses.
What's involvedElectrical Inspections & Older-Home Wiring
Pre-purchase and insurance inspections, aluminum and knob and tube answers, and rewiring scoped to what is actually wrong.
What's involvedWhy licensed matters
No electrical job in Georgia is too small to need a license
Some trades have a dollar threshold under which anyone can legally do the work. Electrical has no such line in Georgia. A swapped outlet is licensed work the same as a whole panel, and the reasoning is sound: electrical mistakes don't look like mistakes. They sit behind drywall, run fine for years, and fail as heat.
The honest reason to hire licensed is competence. An electrician who has opened enough walls knows why the rules read the way they do: why a fan hangs from a fan-rated box, why a breaker has to match the wire it protects, why the outlets near water are the ones with the test buttons. You're paying for that judgment, and the license is how the state checks it exists.
What that looks like on a job
- Power off at the panel and verified dead before anything opens
- The circuit gets diagnosed to the cause, so the fix holds instead of the symptom moving somewhere else
- Wire, breaker and box sized to each other, which is most of what the code actually is
- Anything found wrong along the way gets said plainly, with what it means and what it costs to leave alone
- Covers back on, the panel closed up properly, the work area left clean

Why trust a new name
A new brand, not a new electrician
Journey Electric is new, and there is no point pretending a young business has a long review history. What it does have is a Georgia electrical license held by Tanner Regennitter, permits pulled and inspected on the work that needs them, and a quote written down before anything starts.
Those are the things you can check before you hire anyone, and they tell you more than a star count does. Ask us for the license. Ask who pulls the permit. Ask what would change the number.
Straight answers
Questions worth asking any electrician
Before you hire anyone for electrical work, us included, ask these on the phone:
- Their Georgia electrical license and its number, which any licensed electrician will give you on the spot
- Whether the job needs a permit and inspection, and who is handling that
Where we work
Rome, Floyd County and the towns around them
Based in Rome, with no shop address published because the work happens at your place, not ours. Floyd County is home ground, and the service area runs out through the neighboring counties of Northwest Georgia.
That takes in Cedartown and Rockmart down in Polk County, Calhoun up in Gordon, and Cartersville over in Bartow. Near one of those and not sure? Call and ask. The answer costs nothing.
Towns we cover
Residential electrical work varies with the age of the housing, and this part of Georgia has every vintage: what a 1960s panel needs is different from what a 2005 one does.
