FAQs
Why might I need an electric panel upgrade in my Heiskell home or business?
Many properties in the Heiskell area still rely on 60- or 100-amp panels installed decades ago. These older panels were not designed for today’s high-demand devices such as electric vehicle chargers, tankless water heaters, or large HVAC systems. If you notice flickering lights, tripped breakers, warm breaker slots, or you are planning a major remodel or adding new appliances, an upgrade to a modern 200-amp (or larger) service will improve safety, capacity, and code compliance.
What benefits will I see after upgrading my electrical panel?
A state-of-the-art panel provides higher amperage capacity, room for additional circuits, and the latest breaker technology (AFCI, GFCI, surge protection). This reduces fire risk, eliminates nuisance breaker trips, protects sensitive electronics, and ensures your electrical system meets current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards—often lowering homeowners-insurance premiums and boosting property resale value.
What does the electric panel upgrade process involve?
1) On-site load calculation and inspection to size the new service. 2) Permit application with Knox or Anderson County as required. 3) Coordination with your utility company for a temporary power disconnect. 4) Removal of the old panel, installation of a new service entrance, grounding upgrades, and labeling of all circuits. 5) County or state electrical inspection, followed by utility reconnection. Most residential projects take one working day for the physical swap, with total project timelines of 1–3 weeks to account for permitting and scheduling.
Will my power be out the whole time?
No. While permit processing happens in the background, the actual outage usually lasts 4–8 hours on the day of installation. We set up temporary lighting if needed and schedule the work when it is least disruptive. Businesses can request after-hours or weekend service to minimize downtime.
How much does an electric panel upgrade cost in the Heiskell area?
Typical residential upgrades range from $1,800 to $3,500. Costs vary based on amperage (200-amp vs. 400-amp), distance to the meter, need for service-entrance upgrades, relocation of the panel, and optional add-ons like whole-home surge protection or generator interlocks. We provide a detailed, no-surprise quote after our free assessment.
Do I need permits or inspections, and who handles them?
Yes. Tennessee state law and local ordinances require permits and inspections for any service upgrade. Our licensed electricians obtain all permits, schedule utility disconnect/reconnect, and meet the inspector on-site to ensure the installation passes the first time. You receive all documentation for your records and future insurance needs.
