FAQs
What situations count as an electrical emergency and when should I call right away?
An electrical emergency is any situation that poses an immediate risk of fire, shock, or power loss. Common examples include sparking outlets, burning smells from panels or wiring, tripped breakers that will not reset, partial or total power outages, flickering lights after a storm, and water-damaged wiring. If you notice smoke, hear buzzing in walls, or see scorch marks around outlets, shut off the main breaker if it is safe to do so and call our 24/7 emergency line immediately. Acting quickly helps prevent fires and extensive damage.
Are your electricians licensed and insured to work in Coalmont?
Yes. All of our technicians are Tennessee state–licensed journeyman or master electricians and carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance. We obtain any permits the City of Coalmont or Grundy County requires and follow the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. This protects you from fines, failed inspections, and liability in the unlikely event something goes wrong.
How fast can you get to my home or business in Coalmont during an emergency?
Because we station on-call teams across Grundy County, our average response time within Coalmont’s city limits is 30–60 minutes, day or night. You will receive a text or call with the technician’s name, estimated arrival time, and a GPS-based tracking link so you know exactly when help is on the way. Severe weather or remote rural locations may add a small delay, but we always keep you informed.
What should I do while waiting for the electrician to arrive?
First, stay calm and avoid touching any damaged equipment. If safe, turn off the main breaker to cut power to the entire property; never touch panels that are hot, wet, or sparking. Keep children and pets away from the area. Do NOT use water to extinguish electrical fires—instead, use a Class C extinguisher or evacuate and call 911. If someone receives a shock, call emergency medical services. Provide clear access to the electrical panel and the area where the problem is occurring so the technician can begin work immediately upon arrival.
Do you carry the parts needed to fix most emergencies on the first visit?
Yes. Our service vans are stocked with hundreds of commonly used breakers, fuses, receptacles, switches, GFCIs, wire sizes, connectors, and testing equipment. This inventory allows us to resolve about 90% of emergency calls on the initial visit. For rare or specialized components, we have supplier relationships in nearby Chattanooga and can source parts the same day or provide a temporary safe-power solution until the permanent fix arrives.
How much will an emergency electrical repair cost and will I get an upfront estimate?
Emergency repairs involve a diagnostic fee that covers travel and system evaluation, followed by a flat-rate price for the actual repair. Costs vary depending on the severity—replacing a faulty breaker is less than rewiring a water-damaged panel—but you will always receive a written estimate before work begins. We honor that quote; there are no hidden fees for after-hours service, mileage, or disposal. We accept cash, major credit cards, and offer financing options for larger repairs.
