Loganville sits in two counties and on two different power companies — which is why the first two questions we ask are which side of town you're on and who sends your electric bill.
Next Gen Electric Co. is fifteen minutes down US-78 in Monroe. We cover panel upgrades, EV chargers, generators, added circuits and lighting across Loganville's subdivisions.

First question we'll ask you
Loganville is one of the few cities around here where that isn't a rhetorical question. The city sits in both Walton County and Gwinnett County, and the line runs through it.
For most purposes nobody notices. For electrical work it decides quite a lot: which building department issues your permit, which inspector attends, and whose fee schedule applies.
Plenty of Loganville homeowners genuinely aren't sure which side they're on — the postal address doesn't tell you, and neither does the school district in every case. It's a normal thing not to know.
We'll establish it from your address before quoting, so the timeline in your quote is the real one. If you already know, tell us when you call — it saves a step.
Neither is harder than the other. They're just different processes, and an electrician who assumes one without checking is the reason some Loganville jobs sit waiting on a permit filed in the wrong place.
Not sure which you're in? Tell us the street and we'll work it out.
Second question
Here's something that surprises people who've moved fifteen miles from Monroe: the two towns are on almost opposite utility arrangements.
In Loganville, roughly three quarters of the city is served by Georgia Power, with the remaining quarter on Walton EMC. Walton EMC states directly that its service isn't available in some areas within Loganville city limits, which is where the split comes from.
In Monroe it's the reverse — the City of Monroe runs its own municipal electric utility covering most addresses, with Walton EMC picking up the rest.
Any work that needs the meter pulled and reset — most obviously a service upgrade — has to be scheduled with whoever owns that meter. Georgia Power and Walton EMC are different organisations with different lead times and different processes.
That's the part of a service upgrade that sets the calendar. The work itself is a day or two. Waiting on a utility crew is what makes the project two to four weeks, and knowing which utility you're dealing with is how we give you a realistic date instead of an optimistic one.
The City of Loganville supplies your water and sewer, not your electricity. That catches people out too — it's a reasonable assumption given how Monroe works, but it isn't how Loganville is set up.

Walton County's average residential electric bill runs around $164 a month — roughly 12% above the national average. Worth knowing when you're weighing up whether a load management device beats a full service upgrade.
Permits
Our office is at 511 E Spring St in Monroe — straight down US-78, roughly fifteen minutes to most Loganville addresses.
That's close enough to matter. We can look at a job the same week most of the time, and coming back for a snag or a second look isn't a half-day round trip. It also means our van isn't coming from Atlanta and charging you for the traffic.
Four questions, and between them they determine the permit process, the utility coordination and whether the job is straightforward. It's a two-minute call that makes the quote accurate.
We cover commercial and light industrial work in Loganville as well — retail units along the 78 corridor, offices, and small industrial premises. Lighting retrofits, tenant fit-outs, equipment circuits and code corrections, scheduled outside trading hours where an outage would cost you business.
Loganville is still building, and we work directly with general contractors on new construction — rough-in through trim-out, with a day count rather than a range so your schedule holds. Happy to talk about multiple lots.
Rental property between tenancies is the right time for an inspection. Documented condition protects you, and it's cheaper than a tenant reporting the same fault as an emergency.
FAQ
Both — the city sits across the county line. For most things it doesn't matter, but for electrical work it decides which building department issues your permit, which inspector attends and whose fee schedule applies. Plenty of Loganville homeowners aren't sure which side they're on, and that's normal. Tell us the street when you call and we'll work it out before quoting.
Roughly three quarters of the city is on Georgia Power, with the rest on Walton EMC — Walton EMC states its service isn't available in some areas within Loganville city limits. That's almost the reverse of Monroe, where the City runs its own municipal electric utility. The City of Loganville supplies water and sewer but not electricity. Check who sends your bill; it matters for any job needing the meter pulled.
Often yes, but the panel is the question. A lot of 1990s and 2000s subdivision homes here have full panels and services that were never sized for a 40 to 50 amp continuous load on top of modern HVAC. Before quoting a panel upgrade we'll look at two cheaper options: a load management device that throttles the charger when household demand spikes, or a smaller 32-amp circuit that still adds around 25 miles of range an hour. A load calculation tells us which is safe.
For most work beyond simple fixture swaps, yes — filed with whichever county your address sits in. Service upgrades, panel replacements, new circuits, EV chargers, generators and rewires all require a permit and inspection. We pull it in our name and meet the inspector, so you don't arrange anything.
About fifteen minutes from our office at 511 E Spring St in Monroe, straight down US-78. Close enough that we can usually see a job the same week, and coming back for a small item afterwards isn't a whole appointment.
Because nobody's home when the outage starts. A portable generator needs someone there to set it up and start it; an automatic standby unit detects the outage and switches over within seconds whether the house is empty or not. If you're driving to Atlanta or Athens daily, that's the difference between a thawed freezer and not noticing there was an outage.
