FAQs
What situations are considered an electrical emergency in Cookeville?
Common emergencies include sparking outlets, burning smells from panels or wiring, loss of power to critical circuits, tripped breakers that immediately reset to the off position, buzzing or arcing sounds, and any electrical damage caused by storms or flooding. If there is a risk of fire, shock, or prolonged outage, call us immediately—24/7 service is available.
How fast can your emergency electrician reach my home or business?
Because our technicians are based in the Cookeville area and on call around the clock, typical response time is 60 minutes or less within city limits and most of Putnam County. During high-demand periods (severe weather or widespread outages) we triage calls to ensure life-safety issues are handled first and keep you updated on estimated arrival times.
Are your electricians licensed, insured, and familiar with Cookeville codes?
Yes. Every technician holds a Tennessee state journeyman or master electrician license, carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and stays current with the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) as adopted by the City of Cookeville. We coordinate inspections when required and ensure all emergency repairs meet local permitting standards.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency technician?
If safe to do so, shut off the main breaker to stop power flow, unplug sensitive electronics, and keep a safe distance from any smoking or sparking equipment. Never use water on an electrical fire—use a Class C extinguisher instead. Make sure pets and children stay clear of the affected area and have your electrical panel, recent utility bills, or previous inspection paperwork handy for our technician.
How much does emergency electrical repair cost?
Our emergency dispatch fee starts at $125, which covers travel, initial diagnosis, and the first 30 minutes of labor. After that, labor is billed in 15-minute increments and parts are itemized. You’ll receive an upfront written estimate before we begin any work. We accept major credit cards, checks, and contactless payments, and we offer financing for larger repairs such as panel replacements.
Do you guarantee your emergency repair work?
Absolutely. All labor is backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty, and parts carry the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 1–5 years). If the same issue reoccurs within the warranty period, we will return at no charge to correct it. Our goal is to provide a permanent, code-compliant fix so you can feel confident your home or business is safe and fully operational.
