FAQs
What types of innovative electrical outlets do you install in Erwin homes and businesses?
We offer a full range of next-generation receptacles, including USB-charging outlets, combination GFCI/AFCI safety outlets, tamper-resistant child-safe outlets, Wi-Fiâenabled smart outlets, and high-amperage solutions for EV chargers or workshops. Each product line is UL-listed and selected to match your load requirements, dĂŠcor preferences, and budget.
How do tamper-resistant outlets improve safety and reliability?
Tamper-resistant (TR) outlets contain internal spring-loaded shutters that only open when equal pressure is applied to both slotsâsuch as when you insert a plug. This prevents children from pushing foreign objects into the receptacle, dramatically reducing shock and burn risks. Because the shutters protect the contacts from debris, TR outlets also last longer and maintain a secure electrical connection over time.
Can smart outlets be integrated with my existing home-automation or voice-assistant system?
Yes. Our smart outlets use common protocols such as Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, or Zigbee, allowing seamless pairing with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, and most third-party hubs. During installation weâll help you connect the outlets to your network, create automation scenes, and update firmware to keep them secure and reliable.
What is the typical timeline and process for upgrading or adding outlets?
Most single-room retrofits take 1â2 hours, while whole-house upgrades can be completed in one day. We start with a free on-site assessment to identify circuit capacity, grounding conditions, and code requirements. After providing a detailed quote, we schedule the work at your convenience, obtain any necessary Erwin permits, shut off power at the panel, install and test the new outlets, restore power, and perform a final safety inspection.
How do you ensure every outlet installation meets Erwin and Tennessee electrical codes?
Our licensed electricians follow the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) and local amendments adopted by Unicoi County. We use only UL- or ETL-listed devices, size conductors to match load, verify grounding and bonding, perform GFCI/AFCI testing, and file permit paperwork when required. Upon completion, we offer documentation and walk you through the inspection checklist to guarantee full compliance.
Do you provide warranties or maintenance support for newly installed outlets?
Absolutely. All materials carry the manufacturerâs warrantyâtypically 1â3 yearsâwhile our workmanship is covered for a minimum of five years. If a receptacle fails, weâll replace it at no labor charge within that period. We also offer optional annual electrical-system inspections to test GFCI/AFCI function, thermal-scan connections, and update firmware on smart outlets for continued reliability.
