When something electrical goes wrong, you want a straight answer and a licensed electrician who shows up. Shocking Electric Solutions, Inc. handles urgent electrical repairs for homes in Newnan, GA and Coweta County. We are open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and we do not run a 24-hour service. During business hours, we put urgent safety problems at the front of the line and aim for same-day service when the schedule allows. This page explains what to do right now and when to call us, your utility, or 911.
If There Is Danger, Do This First
- Fire, smoke, or flames: get everyone out and call 911
- Someone has been shocked: do not touch them while they may still be in contact with power; shut off power if you can do it safely and call 911
- Downed or sparking power line: stay far away, keep others back, and call your utility and 911
- Burning smell, hot or melting outlet, buzzing panel: stop using it, shut off the breaker if safe, and call us
- Water near outlets, wiring, or the panel: stay out of the water and do not touch the equipment; have the utility disconnect power if needed
Your utility handles power lines up to the meter. In this area that is usually Georgia Power or Coweta-Fayette EMC, depending on where you live. Their outage numbers are on your bill and on their websites.
Urgent Electrical Repairs We Handle
- Burning smells from outlets, switches, or the panel
- Breakers that keep tripping or will not reset
- Power out in one room or half the house
- Buzzing or hot electrical panels
- Outlets that stopped working, sparking, or scorched
- Flickering or dimming lights across several rooms
- Storm damage to the meter base, service mast, or panel
- Damaged wiring after a remodel accident, nail, or rodent damage
How Same-Day Service Works
Call (678) 552-9399 during business hours and tell us what is happening. Texts to (470) 516-7261 work too, but for anything urgent a call is faster. We ask a few questions to judge how serious it is, give you safety steps for right now, and fit you into the schedule. Same-day service is common for urgent problems in Newnan and nearby Coweta County, but it is not guaranteed; it depends on the day’s workload and your distance from our office. If we cannot get there the same day, we will tell you so honestly and book the earliest slot we can.
After Hours and Weekends
We are not open nights or weekends. If something happens outside business hours: call 911 for fire, smoke, or shock; call your utility for outages and downed lines; shut off the breaker for any circuit that smells hot or sparks and leave it off. Then call or text us, and we will follow up when the office opens the next business day.
What We Do When We Arrive
- Make the area safe, including shutting off affected circuits
- Find the cause with proper testing, not guesswork
- Explain what failed, what it will take to fix, and the price before we start
- Repair it, often on the same visit; if parts or a permit are needed, we make the circuit safe and explain the next steps
- Test the repair before we leave
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer 24-hour emergency electrical service?
No. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. During those hours we prioritize urgent problems like dead circuits, burning smells, and damaged panels, and we try to get to them the same day when our schedule allows. Outside business hours, call Coweta-Fayette EMC or Georgia Power for outages and downed lines, and 911 for fire or smoke, then call or text us so we can follow up on the next business day.
What should I do if I smell burning from an outlet or panel?
Stop using the outlet or circuit, and turn off its breaker if you can do that safely. If you see smoke, flames, or the smell is strong or getting worse, leave the house and call 911. Do not reset a breaker that keeps tripping on a circuit that smells hot.
Is a power outage an electrical emergency?
It depends. If your neighbors are out too, it is a utility outage; report it to your power company. If only your home or part of it is out, check your main breaker and panel. If breakers will not reset or part of the house is dim or flickering, call us.
Can you come the same day?
Often, during business hours. Same-day service depends on the day’s schedule and how far you are from Newnan. Call as early in the day as you can, and tell us what is happening so we can prioritize safety issues.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Anything with smoke, fire, sparks, a hot or melting outlet, a buzzing or burning panel, water near wiring, a downed line, or someone getting shocked. Those need immediate action: shut off power if safe, and call 911 or your utility for danger.
What if a storm damaged my meter or service line?
Stay away from damaged equipment and downed lines and call your utility. The utility handles lines up to the meter. Damage to the meter base, service mast, or panel is the homeowner’s responsibility, and we can repair it so the utility can restore power.
