Electrical Panel Upgrade Newnan, GA

Every job starts with numbers, not guesses. We run a load calculation on your house, following the National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 220. Then add up the heat pump, range, water heater, dryer, and any EV charger you're planning. A 1,900-square-foot ranch in East Newnan with gas heat might do fine on 150 amps. Add heat strips and a Level 2 charger, and 200 amps becomes the safer call. You'll see the math before you approve anything.

In Georgia, a panel change is permitted work. Depending on your address, for electrical panel upgrades near Newnan, GA, we file with the City of Newnan or Coweta County. Then, we schedule the power cut with your utility. Inside city limits, you're usually on Newnan Utilities. Out toward Sargent, it's often Georgia Power or Coweta-Fayette EMC. Each one has its own process for pulling and resealing the meter. At Mr. Electric of Newnan, we deal with it so you don't sit on hold.

Plan on six to ten hours without power. Our crew pulls the old panel, sets the new enclosure, and lands each circuit on a fresh breaker. We tighten every lug with a calibrated torque screwdriver, since NEC 110.14(D) requires connections to be torqued to the manufacturer's spec. Next, we test the grounding and bonding. Once the city or county inspector signs off, your utility reseals the meter, and you're back in business.
