FAQs
What types of electrical repairs do you offer in Sewanee?
We handle a full spectrum of residential and light-commercial repair work, including outlet and switch replacement, fixture and ceiling-fan repairs, circuit breaker and panel servicing, troubleshooting power loss, GFCI/ARC-fault protection, surge protection, and resolving code violations. If it carries current, we can repair or replace it safely and up to Tennessee electrical code standards.
How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency in Sewanee?
Because we are based near the Mountain, we can usually dispatch a licensed technician within 60–90 minutes for true emergencies such as sparking panels, burning smells, or total power loss. Non-emergency repairs are typically scheduled within 24–48 hours. Our phone line is answered 24/7 so you can reach a live representative anytime.
Are your electricians licensed and insured in Tennessee?
Yes. Every field technician holds a current Tennessee state journeyman or master electrician license and completes ongoing CEU training in safety and code updates. We carry $2 million in general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage, so you are completely protected while we work on your property.
How do you price your electrical repair services?
We use flat-rate, up-front pricing. After a free on-site assessment, your electrician will quote a firm price that covers labor, materials, permitting, and cleanup—no surprise add-ons. We also provide written estimates for larger projects and honor them for 30 days. Seniors, veterans, and University students receive a 10 % discount on labor.
Can you help upgrade old wiring in historic Sewanee homes?
Absolutely. Many Sewanee homes were built before modern wiring standards. We specialize in knob-and-tube removal, aluminum-to-copper conversions, grounded outlet upgrades, and capacity increases to support today’s appliances. We coordinate with local inspectors and the University’s Lease Office to make sure all work meets code and lease-hold requirements.
What should I do if my circuit breaker keeps tripping?
First, unplug or turn off everything on that circuit, then reset the breaker once. If it trips again, leave it off and call us. Repeated tripping indicates an overload, short, or ground fault that can create a fire hazard. We will perform a load calculation, test wiring insulation, inspect devices, and identify the root cause so the breaker—and your home—stays protected.
