Frequently Asked Questions

Panel upgrade costs in Atlanta typically range from $1,500 to $6,000 depending on the amperage. A standard 200-amp panel upgrade costs between $2,500 and $4,000, including materials, labor, permits, and inspection. The final cost depends on your home's specific requirements, panel location, and any additional electrical work needed.
Most panel upgrades are completed in 6-8 hours. The process includes disconnecting power, removing the old panel, installing the new panel, connecting circuits, and final inspection. Your power will be temporarily shut off during the work, but we minimize downtime and restore service as quickly as possible.
Yes, electrical panel upgrades require a permit in Atlanta and surrounding areas. As licensed electricians, we handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections with local authorities. This ensures your upgrade meets all safety codes and regulations.
Yes, your power must be shut off while we work on the panel for safety reasons. We coordinate with Georgia Power to disconnect and reconnect service. Most upgrades are completed in a single day, minimizing your time without power. We can also arrange temporary power solutions if needed.
Most homes need a panel upgrade to safely install a Level 2 EV charger. EV chargers require significant electrical capacity (typically 40-50 amps). If your current panel is at or near capacity, or if it's an older 100-amp panel, an upgrade to 200 amps is recommended for safe EV charger installation.
Our licensed electricians will assess your home's electrical needs during a free consultation. We consider factors like home size, existing appliances, future additions (like EV chargers), and electrical code requirements. Most modern homes in Atlanta benefit from a 200-amp service, while larger homes may require 400 amps.
