FAQs
What types of electrical outlet installations do you offer in Crab Orchard?
Reliable Power Electrical installs and services a full range of outlets, including standard 120-volt receptacles, 240-volt appliance outlets, GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) outlets for wet areas, AFCI (arc-fault circuit interrupter) outlets for added fire protection, USB-integrated outlets, tamper-resistant child-safety outlets, and weather-resistant outdoor receptacles. We also upgrade old two-prong outlets to modern three-prong grounded versions to meet current code requirements.
How can I tell if my current outlets need to be replaced?
Warning signs include loose plug connections, scorch marks or buzzing sounds, warm or discolored outlet covers, frequent tripped breakers when using the outlet, and outlets with only two slots (ungrounded). If your home is over 25 years old and still has its original wiring, proactive replacement is advisable. Our technicians can perform a safety inspection and recommend repairs or upgrades before a hazard develops.
Are GFCI outlets required in my Crab Orchard home?
Yes. The National Electrical Code (NEC), which Tennessee follows, requires GFCI protection for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, garages, unfinished basements, crawl spaces, and all outdoor receptacles. If your home in Crab Orchard was built before these codes existed, we can retrofit GFCI outlets or install GFCI breakers to bring your electrical system up to modern safety standards.
How long does a typical outlet installation or replacement take?
Most single-outlet replacements take 20â40 minutes, while new outlet installations (which may involve routing new wiring and cutting wall openings) generally take 1â2 hours. Complex projectsâsuch as adding 240-volt circuits for dryers or EV chargersâcan take half a day or more. We provide a precise time estimate after evaluating your specific needs on-site.
Do you provide surge protection solutions for sensitive electronics?
Absolutely. We recommend a two-tier approach: (1) whole-house surge protection installed at the service panel to block high-energy spikes from lightning or utility switching, and (2) point-of-use surge-protected receptacles or power strips for delicate devices like computers and home-theater equipment. Our electricians can assess your equipment and suggest the right level of protection.
Is your work covered by warranty and are you licensed and insured in Tennessee?
Yes. Reliable Power Electrical is fully licensed, bonded, and insured in the state of Tennessee. All outlet installations and repairs come with a one-year workmanship warranty, and the products we install carry the manufacturerâs warrantyâtypically 2â5 years for residential-grade devices. We also pull any required permits and arrange inspections to ensure full code compliance.
