FAQs
Which types of electrical outlets are most commonly installed in Apison homes?
The majority of homes in Apison use standard 15-amp or 20-amp, 120-volt duplex receptacles. However, our electricians also install 240-volt outlets for dryers, ranges, and EV chargers; GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas; AFCI-protected outlets for added fire safety in bedrooms and living spaces; and tamper-resistant receptacles that meet current Tennessee residential code requirements for child safety.
How do I know if I need to upgrade to GFCI or AFCI outlets?
You should upgrade if your home was wired before 2008 and the outlets near water sources (kitchen, bath, laundry, exterior) or in sleeping areas lack built-in ground-fault or arc-fault protection. Symptoms such as frequent breaker trips, warm outlet faces, or lack of test/reset buttons are indicators. Local code now mandates GFCI protection in wet locations and AFCI protection in most living areas, so an upgrade improves safety and helps you pass home inspections.
What is the average cost to install or replace an outlet in Apison?
Prices vary by outlet type and location. Standard replacements run $90â$140 each (parts and labor), while GFCI or tamper-resistant upgrades range from $120â$170. Dedicated 240-volt or EV charging receptacles average $375â$650, including new wiring and permitting. We always provide a written, no-obligation quote after an on-site evaluation so you know the exact cost before work begins.
Can you install smart outlets that work with Alexa or Google Home?
Absolutely. We install Wi-Fi or Zigbee/Z-Wave smart receptacles that allow voice control, scheduling, and energy monitoring through Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit. During installation we verify neutral availability, ensure proper load rating, connect the outlet to your home network, and provide a quick tutorial so you can start automating lamps, appliances, or holiday lights right away.
Do I need a permit for new outlet installations in Apison?
Yes. Hamilton County requires an electrical permit for any new circuit, 240-volt receptacle, or relocation of an existing outlet. As a licensed and insured contractor, Tailored Solutions Electrical handles all permitting and inspections for you, ensuring the work meets the 2023 National Electrical Code and local amendments. Simple like-for-like replacements typically do not require a permit, but we still follow code best practices.
How quickly can you schedule service and how long does the work take?
For non-emergency outlet replacements we can usually schedule within 2â3 business days. Emergency repairs (sparking, smoking, or melted outlets) receive same-day priority. A single outlet swap takes about 30 minutes; adding a new outlet on an existing circuit averages 1â2 hours, while running a dedicated 240-volt line may take half a day depending on panel distance and wall access. Our technicians respect your home, cover work areas, and perform a full safety check before leaving.
