FAQs
What services are included in your ongoing electrical maintenance packages for Soddy-Daisy homes and businesses?
Our maintenance plans cover a comprehensive checklist: visual inspection of panels and breakers, thermal imaging to detect hot spots, tightening of lugs and terminations, GFCI/AFCI testing, outlet and switch function checks, light fixture and ballast inspections, surge protection assessment, grounding and bonding verification, and a written report with any code or safety issues specific to current Tennessee Electrical Code amendments.
Why is routine electrical maintenance important if everything seems to be working fine?
Hidden problems—loose connections, insulation breakdown, overloaded circuits—often show no outward symptoms until they cause power loss, equipment damage, or fire. Regular maintenance detects these issues early, prolonging equipment life, preventing costly downtime, and keeping your property compliant with local Soddy-Daisy insurance and code requirements.
How frequently should I schedule electrical maintenance for my property in Soddy-Daisy?
Homes typically benefit from a full inspection every 2–3 years, while commercial or industrial facilities with higher loads should schedule annual or semi-annual visits. Critical operations (restaurants, medical offices, manufacturing) may require quarterly thermal scans. We tailor intervals based on load size, equipment age, and environmental factors such as humidity common to the Tennessee Valley.
Are your electricians licensed and insured to work in Soddy-Daisy and Hamilton County?
Yes. All technicians hold State of Tennessee journeyman or master electrician licenses and complete continuing-education hours on NEC updates. Our company carries $1 million in general liability and workers’ compensation coverage, and we secure any permits required by Soddy-Daisy or Hamilton County codes before performing maintenance or upgrades.
Can ongoing electrical maintenance help lower my energy bills?
Absolutely. Tightening loose connections reduces resistive losses; verifying correct breaker sizing prevents phantom draw; and checking motor loads ensures equipment runs at optimal efficiency. Customers in Soddy-Daisy have seen 5–15 % reductions in monthly utility costs after we corrected power-factor issues and upgraded aging lighting during routine maintenance.
What warning signs suggest I should schedule maintenance right away?
Call us promptly if you notice frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, warm or discolored outlets, buzzing at the panel, a burning smell, or unexplained increases in energy use. These indicate potential faults that can escalate quickly, especially during the humid summers and storm seasons common in Soddy-Daisy.
