FAQs
What types of electrical outlet services do you provide in Blountville?
We offer a full range of services, including new outlet installations, replacement of damaged or outdated receptacles, GFCI and AFCI upgrades, USB-integrated outlets, smart outlets, and dedicated circuits for high-demand appliances. Whether you need a single outlet added to a room or a whole-home upgrade, our licensed electricians in Blountville can handle the job safely and efficiently.
How do I know if my existing outlets need to be replaced?
Common warning signs include outlets that feel warm to the touch, loose plugs, frequent tripping of breakers, scorch marks, audible buzzing, or outlets with only two slots (ungrounded). If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to schedule an inspection. Aging outlets can pose fire and shock hazards, so proactive replacement helps keep your home up to current safety codes.
Why are GFCI outlets required in certain areas of my home?
Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets automatically cut power when they detect a current imbalance, protecting you from electric shock. The National Electrical Code (NEC) mandates GFCIs in moisture-prone areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, garages, laundry rooms, and outdoor locations. Our Blountville electricians can retrofit existing receptacles with GFCIs to ensure code compliance and enhanced safety.
Do you install USB and smart outlets, and what are their benefits?
Yes. USB outlets let you charge phones and tablets without bulky adapters, freeing up receptacle space. Smart outlets connect to Wi-Fi or Zigbee/Z-Wave networks, enabling remote control, scheduling, and energy monitoring via smartphone or voice assistant. Both options add convenience and can increase your home’s resale value. We carry brands compatible with popular platforms like Alexa, Google Home, and SmartThings.
How much does it cost to have an outlet installed or replaced in Blountville?
Pricing varies based on factors such as outlet type (standard, GFCI, USB, smart), wiring accessibility, and whether new circuits or panel upgrades are needed. On average, a straightforward replacement starts around $90–$130 per outlet, while new installations range from $150–$300 each. For accurate pricing, we provide free on-site estimates that include labor, materials, permits, and cleanup—no hidden fees.
How soon can you schedule my appointment, and do you offer emergency service?

For urgent issues—such as sparking outlets or loss of power—we provide 24/7 emergency response.
