Electrical Repair & Panel Work

Panel upgrades, outlet/switch work, EV chargers, and code-required safety fixes by licensed electricians.

Older North Georgia homes commonly run 100A or even 60A service panels that can't support modern HVAC, EV chargers, induction ranges, and home offices. Recognizing which problems are urgent code/safety issues versus convenience upgrades is critical.

Tripping AFCI breakers on bedroom circuits
Outlets warm to the touch (loose backstab connections)
Flickering lights when AC kicks on (voltage drop, undersized service)

Homeowner money-saving tips

1Bundle work — adding an EV outlet during a panel upgrade saves $400–$700 versus two separate trips
2Whole-home surge protectors ($350) prevent $4,000+ in lost electronics from a single storm
3Ask if your utility offers free panel inspections — Jackson EMC and Walton EMC both do

FAQ

Do I need to upgrade to 200A service?

If you have central AC plus electric range plus plans for an EV or heat pump water heater, yes. Anything less and you'll be load-balancing for the next decade.

Is knob-and-tube wiring safe?

If it's been undisturbed and isn't buried in insulation, it can be — but most insurers will require replacement, and adding any modern load typically isn't code-compliant.
