Electrician in Savannah, GA
Based in Jesup, about an hour and twenty minutes away. Savannah, Pooler and the rest of Chatham County are inside our service area.
Savannah and Pooler
Savannah is the Chatham County seat and one of the oldest planned cities in the country, laid out in 1733, with about 148,000 people today. Pooler, northwest of the city along I-95 and I-16, grew from 19,140 people in 2010 to 25,711 in 2020.
Downtown's older houses and Pooler's newer subdivisions ask for different kinds of electrical work. We do both: panel and service upgrades, remodels and lighting, generators, and wiring for new construction.
What we do in Chatham County
Electrical work in Savannah's historic districts
Savannah has four locally designated historic districts: the Downtown Historic District, the Victorian District, the Mid-City District and the Cuyler-Brownsville District. Inside them, the Metropolitan Planning Commission's rule is plain: all work that affects the exterior of a building must receive a Certificate of Appropriateness before a building permit can be obtained.
For electrical work that can mean anything mounted on the outside of the house, like a relocated meter base or new exterior light fixtures. Check with the MPC's Historic Preservation Department at 912-651-1440 before you plan the job, because the building permit waits on that approval.

Where do I get an electrical permit in Savannah, Pooler or Chatham County?
It depends on the address. In the City of Savannah, permits go through the city's Development Services Department, which takes applications online through its eTRAC portal. In Pooler, it is the city's Building & Inspections department at 100 US Highway 80 SW, (912) 748-7261, through Pooler's online portal. In unincorporated Chatham County, it is Chatham County Building Safety & Regulatory Services at 1117 Eisenhower Drive, Savannah, (912) 201-4300.
Does electrical work need a permit in unincorporated Chatham County?
As a rule, yes. Chatham County's Building Safety office states that all electrical, plumbing and mechanical work requires a permit unless waived by the Director of Inspections or a designated authority.
Do I need historic approval for electrical work in downtown Savannah?
If the house is in one of Savannah's four local historic districts and the work changes the outside of the building, yes. The Metropolitan Planning Commission says all work affecting the exterior needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before a building permit is issued. Work that stays inside the walls does not change the exterior. The MPC's Historic Preservation Department (912-651-1440) can confirm it for your address.
