About Journey Electric

Owner-operated, and what that means at your panel

Journey Electric is run by Tanner Regennitter, out of Rome. When you call, the person hearing your description is the electrician who will be standing at your panel, not a dispatcher summarizing it onto a work order for somebody else to interpret.

On electrical work that matters more than it sounds, because most electrical jobs arrive as a symptom rather than a task. A light that flickers when the dryer runs. An outlet that died overnight. A breaker that trips every few weeks and always at a bad time. The details in how you describe it are half the diagnosis, and they survive a lot better when the person doing the diagnosing heard them first-hand.

It also means the judgment calls happen in front of you. When a fixture comes down and the wiring behind it turns out to be a different job than anyone expected, the person who finds it is the person who quoted it, and the conversation about what that means happens on the spot, with the one person who has to stand behind the answer.

Licensed, at any size of job

Georgia licenses electrical work at every scale. There's no small-job exemption here: swapping a light switch legally requires the same electrical license as wiring a whole house. Some states carve out room for minor work. Georgia doesn't.

That rule sounds like bureaucracy until you know what it's protecting against. Electrical work done wrong doesn't usually fail on the day. It fails quietly, years later, inside a wall, where nobody can see it and the person who did it is long gone. The license exists so that whoever is doing hidden, consequential work has proven they understand why the code says what it says.

Tanner Regennitter holds a Georgia electrical license, and holding it is the reason this brand exists at all. Treat the license as a baseline rather than a sales pitch: it's the state's minimum standard for touching this trade, and you should ask about it before hiring anyone, including us. A legitimate electrician will never mind the question.

One trade, done properly

This business does electrical work and nothing else. That is a deliberate limit, not a gap. Georgia treats electrical as its own licensed trade for good reason, and a brand built around one trade is a brand where the person at your door does that work every day rather than occasionally.

Tanner Regennitter also runs Journey Home Services, a separate handyman and home repair business in Rome. If your list has a sticking door and a soft deck board on it alongside the dead outlet, that is where the rest of it goes. Visit their site.

The kind of work that comes in around Rome

Most of it is troubleshooting and small installation. Breakers that trip, outlets that quit, lights that flicker, ceiling fans, new circuits for a workshop or an EV charger, panel work when a house has outgrown what it was built with, the occasional generator hookup. Very little of it is glamorous. Nearly all of it matters more than it looks.

Rome's housing explains a lot of the mix. Floyd County has houses from every era, often on the same street, and plenty of them have been remodeled more than once. That leaves wiring from different decades spliced together by people working to different standards, and untangling it is a normal week here.

Some of what we get called about turns out not to be electrical at all. A high power bill is usually appliances and HVAC doing exactly what they were built to do, and a breaker that trips only when one appliance runs is sometimes the appliance failing rather than the circuit. When that's the diagnosis, you'll hear it plainly, along with who to call instead. That honesty costs us a job now and then. It's also why people call back.

The service area runs from Rome and Floyd County out across Northwest Georgia, including Cedartown, Rockmart, Calhoun and Cartersville. What we actually do, job by job, is on the services page.
