FAQs
What electrical repair services do you provide in Sewanee?
Our team handles the full spectrum of residential and light-commercial electrical repairs in Sewanee, including outlet and switch replacement, circuit-breaker troubleshooting, lighting fixture repair, ceiling-fan wiring, panel upgrades, GFCI installation, surge protection, fault finding, and rewiring of damaged or outdated circuits. If it carries current, we can diagnose it and restore it to safe, reliable operation.
Are your electricians licensed and insured in Tennessee?
Yes. Every technician who arrives at your Sewanee property holds a current State of Tennessee Electrical Contractor or Journeyman license, carries OSHA safety certification, and is fully covered by liability and workers-comp insurance. Copies of credentials are available upon request, so you always know qualified professionals are handling your electrical system.
How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency in Sewanee?
We maintain a 24/7 on-call rotation for power loss, sparking components, burning smells, or any situation that threatens safety. In most Sewanee neighborhoods, our average arrival time is 60–90 minutes, day or night. For urgent after-hours calls we dispatch directly from our nearest technician’s service vehicle, which is stocked with common replacement parts to minimize return trips.
Do you offer upfront estimates and what will affect the final cost?
Absolutely. After diagnosing the fault, we provide a written, flat-rate estimate that lists parts, labor, and any permit fees before work begins. Final cost can vary based on the complexity of tracing hidden wiring, accessibility of the repair area (crawl spaces, attics), code-required upgrades, and the condition of existing components. We never proceed without your approval, and there are no surprise charges on the final invoice.
Can you upgrade my older Sewanee home to meet current electrical codes?
Yes. Many Sewanee residences still rely on 60-amp service panels, knob-and-tube wiring, or ungrounded circuits. We specialize in bringing these systems up to the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) standards by installing 200-amp breaker panels, adding dedicated appliance circuits, replacing two-prong outlets with grounded/GFCI outlets, and labeling all circuits for clarity. We coordinate permits and inspections with Franklin County officials to ensure full compliance.
What steps do you take to ensure safety during an electrical repair?
Safety begins with de-energizing and locking out the affected circuit, verifying absence of voltage with calibrated meters, and using insulated tools and PPE. We place drop cloths and protective mats to keep your home clean, and we follow NFPA 70E arc-flash protocols when working inside panels. When repairs are complete, we perform a final voltage and polarity test, tidy all connections, restore power, and walk you through the work performed so you can operate your system with confidence.
