Shocking Electric Solutions, Inc. is a licensed Georgia electrical contractor (license EN216120) that replaces and upgrades electrical panels for homeowners in Tyrone, GA. We are based at 1002 Highway 16 W, Suite A, in Newnan, and Tyrone is part of the north Fayette County area we serve regularly. Whether your home still has its original panel, you are running out of breaker space, or an inspector flagged your service equipment, we can evaluate it and give you a clear, written plan.

Why Tyrone Homeowners Upgrade Their Panels

Tyrone is a small town with a wide mix of housing: older ranch homes near the town center, larger homes on wooded acreage, and newer subdivisions off Highway 74 and the surrounding roads. That variety means panel problems look different from house to house. Some of the most common reasons we hear from Tyrone homeowners include:

Larger homes on larger lots. Detached garages, barns, workshops, well pumps, and outdoor lighting all add load, and many original panels were never sized for them.
Running out of breaker spaces. When the panel is full, adding a circuit for a renovation, hot tub, or shop often means stacking tandem breakers where they are not allowed or installing a subpanel that the main service cannot support.
Older or discontinued equipment. Some panels from past decades are no longer manufactured, replacement breakers are hard to find, and home inspectors frequently call them out during a sale.
New big loads. Heat pumps, induction ranges, tankless water heaters, and EV chargers can push an older 100-amp or 150-amp service past what it can safely deliver.
Warning signs at the panel. Breakers that run hot, buzzing, scorch marks, or a burning smell need attention right away. Turn off the affected circuit if you can do so safely, and call a licensed electrician.

Not every tripping breaker means you need a new panel. Sometimes the fix is a single overloaded circuit, a failing breaker, or a loose connection. We troubleshoot first and only recommend a full upgrade when the service equipment itself is the problem. If you are seeing symptoms but are not sure where they come from, our guide to breakers that keep tripping explains the usual causes.

What a Panel Upgrade in Tyrone Includes

Every home is different, but a typical panel replacement or service upgrade with our team covers the following:

Load review. We look at the appliances, HVAC equipment, and outbuildings you have now, plus anything you plan to add, so the new panel is sized for real use rather than guesswork.
Equipment selection. We recommend a panel and main breaker with enough capacity and open spaces for the next several years, not just for today.
Permit and inspection. We pull the electrical permit with the correct local office for your address and schedule the required inspection.
Utility coordination. Many upgrades require the power company to disconnect and reconnect service. Depending on where you live in Tyrone, that is usually Georgia Power or Coweta-Fayette EMC, and we coordinate the timing with them.
Clean installation. We remove the old panel, install the new one, reconnect and torque every circuit, and correct problems we find along the way, such as double-tapped breakers or missing bonding.
Grounding and bonding. We check the grounding electrode system and bonding to water and gas piping and bring them up to current requirements where the upgrade calls for it.
AFCI and GFCI protection where current code requires it for the circuits involved.
Clear labeling. You get a neatly labeled panel directory, so you know which breaker controls what.

100 Amp, 150 Amp, or 200 Amp Service?

The right size depends on what your home actually uses. A smaller home with gas heat and gas appliances may do fine with its existing service and simply needs a newer panel with more spaces. A larger Tyrone home with an all-electric kitchen, two HVAC systems, a detached shop, and plans for an EV charger is a different story. In many of those cases, moving to 200-amp service gives you headroom for future projects.

We will not push a bigger service than you need. If a panel replacement at your current amperage solves the problem, we will tell you. If a load calculation shows you need more capacity, we will explain why and what it involves. Our electrical service upgrade page goes into more detail on how service size is chosen.

Outbuildings, Shops, and Generators

Properties in Tyrone often have more going on outside the main house than a typical subdivision lot. A panel upgrade is a good time to plan for that:

Subpanels for detached garages and workshops, fed from the new main panel with properly sized feeders and their own grounding.
Generator transfer switches or interlocks so a portable or standby generator can power selected circuits safely during an outage. See our generator transfer switch page for options.
Whole-home surge protection installed at the panel to help protect HVAC equipment, appliances, and electronics. Learn more on our surge protection page.
EV charger circuits, which are much easier to add when the panel already has the capacity and space. Our EV charger installation page covers what that involves.

How the Process Works

1. Contact us

Call (678) 552-9399, text (470) 516-7261, or book online. Tell us what you are seeing and what you would like to add.

2. On-site evaluation

A licensed electrician looks at your panel, meter base, service entrance, grounding, and the loads in your home. We take notes and photos so we can explain our findings.

3. Written estimate

You receive a written estimate that spells out the scope of work. If there are options, such as replacing the panel at the same amperage versus upgrading the service, we lay them out side by side.

4. Permit and scheduling

Once you approve, we pull the permit and coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with your utility. Most panel replacements are completed in a single working day, though service upgrades that involve the meter base or service entrance can take longer.

5. Inspection and walkthrough

After the work passes inspection, we walk you through the new panel, show you the labeled directory, and answer questions.

Working in Tyrone

Tyrone sits just north of Peachtree City and a short drive from our Newnan office, so scheduling an evaluation is straightforward. We serve the whole area, from older homes near the town center to newer neighborhoods and rural properties on the edges of town. If your project is in a neighboring community, we also have a dedicated page for electrical panel upgrades in Peachtree City and one for panel upgrades in Newnan. For general electrical work around town, visit our Tyrone electrician page.

Safety Before Savings

A panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system, and it is not a do-it-yourself project. Work on the service equipment involves conductors that cannot be switched off from inside the house, and mistakes can lead to fires, shocks, or failed inspections that delay a home sale. Hiring a licensed contractor also means the work is permitted and inspected, which matters to insurance companies and future buyers.

Our installation work is backed by a 2-year warranty. If something we installed does not perform as it should, contact us and we will make it right.

Tyrone Panel Upgrade FAQ

How long does a panel upgrade take?

A straightforward panel replacement is usually completed in one working day. Your power will be off for part of that day. Service upgrades that require a new meter base, new service entrance cable, or utility work can take longer, and we will tell you what to expect before we start.

Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Tyrone?

Yes. Panel replacements and service upgrades require an electrical permit and inspection. We handle the permit for you and schedule the inspection.

How much does a panel upgrade cost?

It depends on the amperage, the condition of the meter base and service entrance, grounding work, and whether circuits need corrections. We give a written estimate after looking at your system. For a general overview of what affects price, see our panel upgrade cost guide.

Can you add circuits for a shop or EV charger at the same time?

Yes. Combining that work with a panel upgrade is often the most efficient approach, because the new panel can be laid out with those circuits in mind.

Do you offer 24-hour service?

No. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. If you smell burning or see smoke, leave the house and call 911. For a power outage or downed line, call your utility. Then contact us and we will follow up on the next business day.
