FAQs
How can I tell if my home in Cumberland Gap has faulty wiring?
Common warning signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, buzzing sounds from outlets or switches, warm or discolored wall plates, burning odors, or outlets that stop working. If you notice any of these issues, turn off the affected circuit and call a licensed electrician right away to prevent shock or fire hazards.

We handle complete troubleshooting, rewiring of outdated or damaged circuits, replacement of aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, repair of loose or corroded connections, installation of new breaker panels, GFCI and AFCI upgrades, and code-compliance corrections. Our team also performs safety inspections to ensure your entire electrical system meets current NEC standards.
