Your electrical panel distributes power to every circuit in your home. When it is outdated, damaged or simply full, everything downstream suffers. Shocking Electric Solutions, Inc. replaces and upgrades panels for Sharpsburg homeowners from our office at 1002 Highway 16 W, Suite A, in Newnan.

Signs You May Need a Panel Upgrade
- Breakers that trip often under normal loads
- No open spaces for new circuits, or many tandem breakers
- A fuse box or an obsolete panel brand
- Rust, scorch marks, buzzing or heat at the panel
- Plans for an EV charger, hot tub, shop or addition
- Lights that dim when large appliances start
Load Calculation First
A bigger panel is not automatically the answer. We start with a load calculation that looks at your home’s size, heating and cooling equipment, appliances and planned additions. Sometimes the existing service is adequate and the panel just needs replacing or rearranging. Sometimes the service size itself must increase. You will see the reasoning before you decide.
What the Job Involves
- Load calculation and a recommendation
- Permit filed with the correct office
- Coordination with your utility for the disconnect and reconnect
- Panel replacement, with each circuit labeled clearly
- Grounding and bonding checked and corrected
- Inspection, then power restored
Permits and Your Utility in Sharpsburg
Panel replacements require a permit. Inside town limits, the Town of Sharpsburg issues it. For addresses in unincorporated Coweta County, it comes from Coweta County Building Permits and Inspections. Your electric provider, usually Coweta-Fayette EMC or Georgia Power in the 30277 area, must disconnect and reconnect service, and we schedule that with them so downtime is as short as practical.
Why Panel Condition Matters
A panel is more than a box of switches. Breakers must trip reliably under overload, bus bars must make solid contact, and the grounding and bonding must be correct for the whole system to be safe. Moisture, corrosion, loose lugs and heat damage can quietly degrade a panel over years. During an upgrade we replace the worn parts and fix any grounding or bonding problems we find. Every circuit gets a clear label, so you know what each breaker controls.
Panel Upgrade FAQ
How long will my power be off?
Most panel replacements are completed in a single day, depending on utility scheduling and inspection.
Do I need a bigger service for an EV charger?
Not always. We run a load calculation to see whether your current service can support a charger before recommending an upgrade.
Can you add circuits without replacing my panel?
If your panel has open spaces and the service has enough capacity, yes. If it is full or overloaded, an upgrade or subpanel may be the safer route.
