Electrical Panel Upgrade in Atlanta, GA

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s power system—and when it’s outdated or overloaded, Atlanta Master Electricians is here to upgrade it safely, quickly, and to modern code. Whether you're dealing with breaker trips, new appliances, or just an aging panel, our licensed electricians provide expert panel upgrades across metro Atlanta—often with same-day availability before 6 p.m.

Older panels simply weren’t designed for today’s energy demands. From EV chargers and tankless water heaters to high-end kitchen appliances and HVAC systems, most homes now require more power—and a safer, more efficient way to distribute it. An upgrade helps prevent outages, reduces fire risks, and ensures your electrical system is ready for the future.

We’ve upgraded panels in everything from 1940s bungalows in Decatur to new builds in Alpharetta. Whether you need to replace a dangerous Zinsco or Federal Pacific panel or expand to 200 amps for a renovation, we’ll assess your system, pull permits, and complete the work to code—cleanly and efficiently.

Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade

1. Frequent Breaker Trips or Flickering Lights.

Breaker trips are a sign your panel is overloaded or failing. An upgrade provides the extra capacity your home needs to run safely.

2. You Have a Fuse Box or Federal Pacific Panel.

FPE and Zinsco panels are fire hazards and no longer meet safety standards. Replacing them is urgent for protecting your home and family.

3. New Appliances or Home Additions.

Adding a new HVAC system, EV charger, or hot tub? You’ll need a panel that can handle the extra load without strain.

4. Panel Is Warm or Has a Burning Smell.

Panels that emit heat or odors are dangerous. These symptoms often point to poor connections or overloaded breakers that must be addressed immediately.

5. Home Is 30+ Years Old.

If your home hasn't had an electrical update in decades, chances are your panel is outdated. Modern life demands more power than your system was built to provide.
