FAQs

What types of electrical outlets can your Crossville team install or replace?

Our licensed electricians install all common residential and light-commercial outlets, including standard 15- and 20-amp receptacles, GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets for kitchens, baths, garages, and outdoor areas, AFCI (Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter) receptacles required in many living spaces, 240-volt outlets for dryers, ranges, EV chargers, twist-lock receptacles for generators, weather-resistant outdoor outlets, and modern USB/USB-C and smart Wi-Fi–enabled receptacles. We match every outlet to the circuit capacity, load requirements, and current National Electrical Code (NEC) as adopted in Tennessee.

How do I know if I need a GFCI or AFCI outlet upgrade in my home?

GFCI protection is required by code in any area where water and electricity might meet—kitchens (within 6 ft of the sink), bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, unfinished basements, crawl spaces, and all outdoor receptacles. AFCI protection guards against arc faults that can start fires and is now mandated in most living areas such as bedrooms, family rooms, dining rooms, and hallways. If your Crossville home was wired before 2014, you may lack one or both safety devices. Our technicians can test existing circuits, identify unprotected locations, and upgrade those outlets or the upstream breaker to keep your family safe and code-compliant.

Why are some of my outlets warm to the touch or showing scorch marks?

Heat, discoloration, or a burning odor usually signals excessive resistance caused by loose terminations, worn contacts, back-stabbed wiring, or an overloaded circuit. These conditions create fire hazards. Stop using the outlet and call our team right away. We will de-energize the circuit, inspect the wiring and breaker, tighten or replace conductors, and, if necessary, install a new receptacle with the proper amp rating. In many cases we also perform a load calculation to ensure the branch circuit isn’t serving too many appliances.

Can you add more outlets to eliminate power strips and extension cords?

Absolutely. Overuse of power strips is a leading cause of tripped breakers and overheated cords. We can extend existing circuits or run new dedicated lines from your service panel to high-demand areas such as home offices, entertainment centers, or workshop benches. During the visit, we’ll evaluate your panel’s remaining capacity, secure any required Crossville permits, and neatly fish new cable through walls or crawl spaces with minimal drywall repair.

Do you offer modern options like USB or smart outlets, and will they work with my current wiring?

Yes. We stock duplex outlets with built-in USB-A and USB-C ports, tamper-resistant child-safety shutters, night-light receptacles, and Wi-Fi or Z-Wave smart outlets that integrate with Alexa, Google, or SmartThings. Most of these devices fit a standard single-gang box and wire up just like a traditional receptacle, so they’re compatible with 15- or 20-amp circuits. For smart outlets that require a neutral conductor, we verify the presence of a neutral in the box before installation.

What does it cost to have an outlet installed or replaced in Crossville?

Pricing depends on the type of receptacle, accessibility, and whether new wiring or a dedicated circuit is necessary. As a ballpark, a straightforward replacement of a standard outlet runs $95–$125 including parts and labor. Upgrading to a GFCI is typically $125–$165, while installing a new outlet in an existing wall cavity averages $175–$250. Adding a 240-volt or generator interlock receptacle, or running a new homerun from the panel, can range from $350–$650. We provide free on-site estimates and always disclose costs upfront before any work begins.
