FAQs

Are your electricians in Jellico fully licensed and insured?

Yes. Every technician we send to your home or business in Jellico holds a Tennessee state journeyman or master-electrician license and carries full liability and workers’-compensation insurance. This protects you against accidental damage, injuries on site, and guarantees that all repairs meet current National Electrical Code (NEC) and local Campbell County regulations.

What are the common signs that I might need electrical repair?

Frequent breaker trips, buzzing outlets, flickering lights, warm switch or outlet covers, burning odors near panels, and outlets that stop working are warning signs. In older Jellico homes, aluminum wiring, two-prong outlets, or knob-and-tube circuits also require professional evaluation. Ignoring these issues can lead to fire hazards or equipment damage, so schedule an inspection as soon as you notice them.

How fast can you respond to an electrical emergency within Jellico city limits?

We provide 24/7 emergency dispatch. For addresses within the Jellico city limits, our on-call technician can usually arrive within 60–90 minutes, depending on weather and road conditions on US-25W or I-75. Our trucks are stocked with common breakers, outlets, and wiring so we can complete most critical repairs on the first visit.

Can you work on older Jellico homes that still have outdated wiring?

Absolutely. Many houses here were built before 1970 and still have cloth-insulated or aluminum wiring. We specialize in targeted upgrades—such as adding dedicated circuits for HVAC or appliances, replacing ungrounded two-prong outlets with GFCI-protected receptacles, or performing whole-house rewiring when necessary. We pull the proper permits and coordinate with Jellico’s building inspector to ensure a safe, code-compliant installation.

Do you offer free estimates, and what will the quote include?

Yes, we provide free on-site estimates for non-emergency repairs. After a visual inspection and diagnostic testing, you receive a written quote detailing labor, parts, permit fees (if required), and projected completion time. The price is upfront—no hidden charges—and remains valid for 30 days so you can budget confidently.

What safety measures should I take while waiting for the electrician to arrive?

If you suspect a short or smell burning, turn off the main breaker if it is safe to do so—stand on a dry surface, use only one hand, and keep your face away from the panel. Unplug affected appliances, avoid using water near suspect outlets, and keep children and pets away from the area. Never attempt DIY fixes or stick metal objects into outlets. Call 911 immediately if you see flames or heavy smoke.
