FAQs

What kinds of electrical-outlet services does Optimal Performance Electrical offer in Apison?

We handle the full spectrum of receptacle work for homes and businesses throughout Apison, including new outlet installation, replacement of worn or unsafe receptacles, relocation of outlets for remodeling projects, upgrades to USB, smart, GFCI, and AFCI devices, and troubleshooting of outlets that are dead, loose, or sparking. All work is performed by licensed electricians and inspected to meet or exceed the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) and Tennessee state requirements.

How do I know when an electrical outlet needs to be repaired or replaced?

Warning signs include plugs that fall out easily, discoloration or burn marks, buzzing or crackling sounds, frequent tripping of a breaker when the outlet is used, or the outlet simply not working. If you notice heat coming from the receptacle or detect a burning odor, shut off the circuit immediately at the panel and call us. These issues usually indicate loose internal connections or insulation breakdown, both of which pose fire and shock hazards and require professional attention.

Can you install GFCI and AFCI protection in older Apison homes?

Yes. Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are required in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, garages, crawl spaces, and all exterior locations. Arc-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (AFCI) devices are mandated in most living areas for new construction but can be retrofitted to improve safety in existing homes. We can replace standard receptacles with combination GFCI/AFCI outlets or install protective breakers in the panel to bring your property up to code and reduce the risk of electrocution and electrical fires.

Are tamper-resistant receptacles required by Tennessee electrical code, and what are they?

Tamper-resistant (TR) receptacles include spring-loaded shutters that block foreign objects from being inserted, protecting children from shocks. The NEC requires TR outlets in nearly all residential locations built or renovated since 2014, and Tennessee has adopted this section of the code. If your Apison home was built before the mandate or still has non-TR devices, we can upgrade them quickly and affordably to enhance family safety and ensure compliance during home sales or inspections.

How much does it cost to install or repair an outlet in Apison?

Pricing depends on factors such as the type of outlet (standard, GFCI, AFCI, USB, smart), wiring accessibility, the condition of your existing circuit, and whether new wiring or a dedicated circuit is required. On average, simple replacements start around $90–$130 per receptacle, while new installations that require cutting drywall or running cable typically range from $175–$300. We provide free on-site estimates in Apison so you know the exact investment before any work begins.

Why should I trust Optimal Performance Electrical for outlet work instead of doing it myself?

Even seemingly simple receptacle swaps can hide serious hazards such as aluminum wiring, shared neutrals, or overloaded circuits. Our licensed electricians diagnose these issues, obtain necessary permits, and perform installations that meet code—protecting you from fire, shock, and insurance or warranty problems. We back our workmanship with a one-year labor guarantee and manufacturer warranties on parts, and we schedule appointments around your routine, leaving the work area clean when we leave.
