FAQs
What types of electrical repair services do you provide in Sewanee?
Effective Solutions Electrical handles everything from minor outlet or switch replacements to full panel upgrades, rewiring, lighting repairs, surge-protection installation, and troubleshooting of intermittent power losses. We also service generators, smoke detectors, and EV charger circuits, ensuring all work meets current Tennessee codes and Sewanee Utility District requirements.
Do you offer emergency electrical repairs, and how fast can you arrive?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency response across Sewanee and surrounding Franklin County communities. A licensed electrician is on call nights, weekends, and holidays. In most cases we can be on your property within 60–90 minutes, fully equipped to diagnose and stabilize hazardous situations such as sparking panels, storm damage, or partial power outages.
Are your electricians licensed, insured, and familiar with local codes?
Absolutely. Every technician at Effective Solutions Electrical holds a State of Tennessee Electrical Contractor License, carries $1 million in liability insurance, and is OSHA safety-trained. We stay current on National Electrical Code (NEC) updates and local ordinances enforced by the Franklin County Building Department, so your repair passes inspection the first time.
What warning signs indicate I need professional electrical repair?
Call us if you notice flickering lights, breakers that trip repeatedly, warm or scorched outlets, buzzing sounds in walls, burning odors from panels, or a sudden rise in utility bills. These symptoms often signal overloaded circuits, loose connections, or failing components that can lead to fire or shock hazards if ignored.
Will I need to vacate my home during the repair, and how long will it take?
Most repairs—such as replacing a faulty breaker or wiring a new fixture—are completed in one visit without requiring you to leave your home. For larger projects like full rewiring or panel replacement, we isolate the affected area so you can remain on site with minimal disruption. Your electrician will give you a clear time frame before work starts, typically ranging from one hour to one day depending on complexity.
How do you determine pricing, and do you provide written estimates?
We use flat-rate, up-front pricing based on the scope of work, materials, and code compliance requirements—never hourly surprises. After a free on-site assessment, we present a written estimate that lists each task and component. Once you approve it, the price is locked in. All repairs include a one-year workmanship warranty, and we accept major credit cards, checks, and financing for larger jobs.
