Backup power in Atlanta

Living in the City in a Forest

Atlanta's trees and older homes are a big part of its charm, and a big part of why the power goes out.

Tree canopy

A Georgia Tech study found trees covered about 47 percent of Atlanta in 2014. That shade is great until a limb comes down on a power line.

Older intown homes

Many eastside neighborhoods began as streetcar suburbs built between the 1890s and 1930s. Older homes often have older panels, and James checks yours first.

Big storms

During Tropical Storm Irma in 2017, about 561,000 Georgia Power customers in metro Atlanta were without power at one point.

Permits in Atlanta

Atlanta permits, and historic districts

Homes inside Atlanta city limits are permitted by the City of Atlanta's Office of Buildings, and the electrical work is a separate technical permit. We file it and schedule the inspection.

Atlanta has many historic and landmark districts, such as Inman Park, Grant Park, West End and Cabbagetown, where exterior changes can need review. And many homes with an Atlanta mailing address are actually in unincorporated DeKalb or a neighboring city. We confirm who covers your address before we file.

What we install in Atlanta

  • Generac home standby generators, 10 to 28 kW
  • Automatic transfer switches

I live in a historic district. Can I still get a generator?
Usually, yes. Some districts review exterior changes, so we check placement with you before we file the permit.
