Electrical Panel Upgrade in Georgia

Most homes in Georgia were wired for a fraction of the load a modern household actually runs. When a panel from the 1970s has to carry a heat pump, an induction range, a home office and an EV, breakers start tripping and connections start heating. A panel upgrade replaces that bottleneck with a properly sized service and a clean, labeled directory you can actually read.

Questions

Electrical Panel Upgrade FAQs

How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Georgia?

Most residential 200 amp upgrades in the Georgia area land in a predictable range, and the variables are the meter base condition, the length of the service run, whether the mast needs replacing and how much of the existing branch wiring can be reused. We look at all of that on site and give you one flat number before any work begins. Call (866) 651-5242 for an assessment.

How long does the power stay off during a panel replacement?

Plan on most of a working day. The panel swap itself is a few hours, but the utility disconnect and reconnect and the inspection window drive the schedule. We tell you the expected outage window in advance so you can plan around refrigeration and work-from-home.

Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Georgia, GA?

Yes. Service equipment changes require a permit and an inspection in Georgia and everywhere else in Georgia. We pull it, meet the inspector and give you the signed-off paperwork, which matters when you sell the house.

How do I know if my panel needs upgrading?

Common signs are breakers that trip under normal use, no empty spaces left for new circuits, a fuse box instead of breakers, scorch marks or rust inside the cabinet, a panel that feels warm, or lights that dim when a large appliance starts. Any of those is worth a look.

Can I add an EV charger without upgrading my panel?

Sometimes. If a load calculation shows spare capacity and there is a free double space, a Level 2 charger can go on the existing panel, occasionally with a load management device. We run that calculation before recommending an upgrade you may not need.

What is a sub panel and do I need one?

A sub panel is a secondary breaker box fed from your main service, used to put circuits closer to where they are needed such as a detached garage, workshop or addition. It is usually cheaper and tidier than running many long individual circuits back to the main panel.

★★★★★

New circuits for the garage freezer and the shop vac so I stop popping the same breaker. Simple job, done right.

Surge protector at the panel after we lost a TV and the modem to a storm. Cheap insurance, installed in under an hour.

★★★★★

Recessed lights in the living room and a dimmer that actually works with LEDs. They vacuumed the drywall dust before they left, which I did not expect.
