FAQs

What types of electrical outlets do you install and service in the Crossville area?

Power Solutions Electrical installs and services a full range of outlet styles, including standard 15-amp and 20-amp receptacles, GFCI outlets for kitchens, bathrooms, and exterior locations, AFCI outlets for added fire protection, USB/USB-C combo outlets, tamper-resistant receptacles, and 240-volt outlets for large appliances or EV chargers. We can also upgrade older two-prong receptacles to properly grounded three-prong outlets in compliance with current NEC requirements.

How do I know if I need to upgrade the outlets in my Crossville home?

If your home still has two-prong, ungrounded outlets, shows signs of heat discoloration or buzzing, or frequently trips breakers when appliances are plugged in, it’s time to consider an upgrade. Homes built before the mid-1970s often lack modern safety features such as GFCI or AFCI protection. Our licensed electricians can perform a free safety inspection to determine which outlets need replacement or additional protection to meet Tennessee and National Electrical Code (NEC) standards.

What is the difference between GFCI and AFCI outlets, and do I need both?

GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets shut off power in milliseconds if they detect electricity flowing along an unintended path—such as through water or a person—reducing shock risk. AFCI (Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets monitor for dangerous arcing conditions that can ignite electrical fires in wiring behind walls. GFCIs are required in wet or damp areas (kitchens, baths, garages, outdoors), while AFCIs are required in most living areas (bedrooms, family rooms). In many cases, the NEC allows dual-function devices that offer both GFCI and AFCI protection in one unit. We’ll recommend the best solution based on your home’s layout and code requirements.

How much does it cost to add or replace an electrical outlet in Crossville?

Costs vary according to outlet type, wiring accessibility, and any panel or circuit upgrades that may be necessary. A basic replacement of a standard receptacle generally starts around $90–$120, GFCI or USB outlets about $120–$180, and new outlet installations involving drywall fishing or conduit can range from $200–$400 per location. We provide upfront, itemized estimates and no work begins until you approve the price.

Can I install a new outlet myself, or should I hire a licensed electrician?

While DIY tutorials are plentiful online, improper wiring can lead to shocks, fires, and code violations. Tennessee law requires a licensed electrician to perform most electrical work when it involves altering existing wiring. Power Solutions Electrical carries full licensing, insurance, and local Crossville permitting knowledge, ensuring your outlet installation passes inspection, protects your family, and preserves your homeowners insurance coverage.
