Are you excited about the idea of creating your very own homestead paradise? Whether you want to purchase affordable raw land for hunting season or it’s time for you to actualize your farm and ranch dreams, you’ll need to have adequate power to fuel your life. Many people miss out on incredible real estate opportunities because they fear the costs and complications of getting electrical power to their home. Thankfully, there are solutions to help make the transition from city to country living one that’s smooth and enjoyable. At Mr. Electric of Atlanta, we proudly offer residential and commercial electrical services in Atlanta, Acworth, Alpharetta, Buckhead, Canton, Brookhaven, Cumming, Decatur, Doraville, Kennesaw, Lawrence, Duluth, Lilburn, Johns Creek, Georgia and other nearby communities. Here are some of the best options for getting electricity ready for your new homestead.
Connecting to the Local Electrical Power Grid
The most convenient option is connecting your home to local electrical utilities. You’ll have almost limitless energy available to keep your busy modern household up to speed. If you have a large family, work from home, need to power heavy tools and equipment or prefer to make your day to day electrical maintenance minimal, this is by far the most effective choice. Many people who move far out into the country, further away from major roads and electrical lines may choose to avoid this option. However, in some cases the utility company will perform the work free of charge if you are near an already existing line. Each case is unique, and it’s vital that you discuss the details with your contractor, local inspectors and a licensed electrician to ensure compliance. It’s important to keep in mind that many states and counties have varying laws about residential and commercial utilities, and living totally off grid may not be a viable legal alternative.
Solar Panels
For those who want to go green and embrace the sustainability of solar power, there are many ways to do so. The cost of solar is continuing to decline, and the usability of solar systems has vastly improved. You may need multiple panels throughout your property, and it helps to install them in areas free of tall pines or shade trees that could block the sunlight. Also, to provide adequate power to sustain a large household, you will need to plan well and make sure you have the right number of batteries to store power when the rain clouds appear. Families who choose to live on solar power alone may want to consider installing a backup standby generator in case of bad weather or emergencies.
Wind Turbines
Wind turbines are also another way to receive power for your house. While the initial instillation expenses are certainly an investment, the durability and longevity of these incredible devices will save your family a lot of money long term. You may want to try a hybrid system that uses both solar and wind to maximize the amount of power available on your homestead at any given time.
Ready to Power Your Homestead? Call Mr. Electric of Atlanta
Whether you plan on hooking up local electrical utilities, or want to live completely off grid with solar and wind power, it’s important to have a well thought out plan. There are many safety and legal ramifications for those who don’t perform due diligence before you begin your project.

Using any of these systems inaccurately puts your family and property at risk of endangerment, but when you hire the team at Mr. Electric of Atlanta for the job, you’re sure to be satisfied every step of the way.
