Electrical Panel Upgrades & Replacements
An outdated or undersized electrical panel is one of the most common sources of electrical problems in Savannah-area homes and commercial buildings. Older homes built with 60- or 100-amp service panels often can't support modern electrical loads — central air conditioning, electric appliances, home offices, and EV chargers all demand more capacity than aging equipment can safely provide.
Groveland Electric performs complete panel replacements and service upgrades to 150- or 200-amp systems, including main breaker installation, new panel enclosures, load calculations, and utility coordination. We ensure every upgrade meets Georgia Power requirements and current NEC standards. If your breakers trip frequently, lights flicker, or you're adding square footage, a panel upgrade is likely the right next step.
Wiring & Rewiring
Savannah's older housing stock — much of it built before modern electrical codes were established — often contains aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube systems, or insulation that has degraded over decades in the region's humid climate. These conditions create real fire and shock hazards that homeowners don't always see coming.
Our electricians perform full and partial rewiring projects for residential and commercial properties, replacing outdated conductors with modern copper wiring rated for today's loads. We run new circuits, install junction boxes, and ensure proper grounding and bonding throughout. For renovation projects, we coordinate wiring rough-ins before drywall and return for finish work on schedule.
Circuit Installation & Breaker Repair
Dedicated circuits are required for high-draw appliances including electric ranges, dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, HVAC systems, and home workshop equipment. Installing a new circuit involves running wire from the panel, installing a properly rated breaker, and terminating at the appropriate outlet or junction point.
Groveland Electric handles circuit additions for both new construction and existing structures. We also diagnose and repair breaker problems — from breakers that won't reset to nuisance tripping caused by overloaded or short-circuited lines. If your panel has damaged, recalled, or counterfeit breakers, we'll identify them and replace them with listed components.
EV Charger Installation
As electric vehicles become more common throughout Savannah and Chatham County, home EV charging has moved from a luxury to a practical necessity. A dedicated Level 2 (240V) charger provides a full overnight charge without stressing your home's existing outlets.
Groveland Electric installs NEMA 14-50 outlets and hardwired Level 2 EVSE equipment for all major vehicle brands. We assess your existing panel capacity, run a dedicated 40- or 50-amp circuit to the garage or driveway, and ensure the installation is code-compliant and inspected. We can also assist with utility rebate documentation where applicable.
Surge Protection
Lightning strikes, utility switching events, and large motor startups generate voltage spikes that silently degrade electronics and can destroy appliances outright. A whole-home surge protector installed at the main panel is the most effective defense — it clamps surges before they reach individual circuits.
We install UL-listed Type 1 and Type 2 surge protective devices (SPDs) at the service entrance and distribution panel. These devices work in combination with point-of-use protection at sensitive equipment locations. For commercial properties, we spec surge protection for critical load centers and sensitive equipment rooms.
Outdoor & Landscape Lighting
Well-designed outdoor lighting improves curb appeal, extends usable outdoor time, and adds a layer of security to residential and commercial properties. In Savannah's climate, all exterior wiring must be installed in weatherproof conduit or rated cables capable of withstanding heat, humidity, and occasional freeze events.
Groveland Electric installs pathway lighting, post-mounted fixtures, soffit and eave lighting, flood and security lighting, and transformer-fed low-voltage landscape systems. We use GFCI-protected outdoor circuits and weatherproof outlet boxes throughout. All outdoor work meets local weatherization requirements.
Generator Hookups & Transfer Switches
Power outages along the Georgia coast are a reality — tropical weather systems and summer storm activity regularly interrupt utility service in the Savannah region. A properly wired standby or portable generator connection lets you maintain essential loads without risking backfeed onto the utility grid.
We install manual and automatic transfer switches sized for portable generators and whole-home standby units. Automatic transfer switches (ATS) start the generator and switch loads within seconds of a utility outage. We also install interlock kits for existing panels as a cost-effective alternative. All generator connections are permitted and inspected to protect utility workers and your own equipment.
Code Compliance & Electrical Inspections
Home sales, refinancing, rental property licensing, and insurance renewals increasingly require current electrical inspections. Savannah's inspectors apply Georgia's adopted version of the NEC, which is updated on a regular cycle — older properties often have multiple code deficiencies that weren't violations when the home was built but must be corrected under certain circumstances.
Groveland Electric performs pre-listing electrical inspections, identifies deficiencies with clear repair estimates, and completes the work needed to pass final inspection. We're familiar with the common issues in Chatham County properties: ungrounded outlets, missing AFCI/GFCI protection, improperly sized service, and open junction boxes. If you need a clean inspection report, we can get you there.
