FAQs
Why is safety the top priority during electrical repairs?
Electricity can cause fires, severe injuries, and property damage if handled improperly. By making safety our first concern, we protect you, your family, and our technicians from shocks, burns, and other hazards. Safe practices also prolong the life of your electrical system and ensure the repair meets code so you won’t face costly re-work or insurance issues later.
What safety certifications do your electricians in Heiskell hold?
All of our technicians are state-licensed journeyman or master electricians and maintain OSHA 10/30, NFPA 70E, and CPR/First Aid certifications. We also conduct annual continuing-education courses so our team stays current on the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) updates and Tennessee-specific safety regulations.
How do you keep my home protected while you work?
Before beginning any task, we perform a detailed job-site risk assessment and isolate the work area with insulated mats, lockout/tagout devices, and protective covers for floors and furnishings. We use calibrated testing equipment to verify circuits are de-energized and employ dust collection and debris-containment methods to leave your space clean and safe when we’re finished.
Do I need to shut off my main power before you arrive?
No. Please leave the electrical panel as is so our technician can perform diagnostic tests. Once on site, we will identify the specific circuit, shut it down through proper lockout/tagout procedures, and verify zero voltage before starting any repair. If you believe there is an active fire or imminent danger, call 911 and turn off the main breaker if it is safe to do so.
What should I do if I suspect an electrical hazard before the appointment?
Turn off the affected circuit at the breaker panel, keep people and pets away from the area, and avoid touching any exposed wiring or water-damaged outlets. If you smell burning or see sparking, call your utility company or 911 immediately. Document what you observe and share the details with our technician so we can arrive prepared with the correct parts and protective equipment.
Are your repair methods compliant with Heiskell and Tennessee electrical codes?
Absolutely. We pull permits when required, follow the 2023 NEC as adopted by the State of Tennessee, and coordinate with Anderson County inspectors for final approval. Every component we install—wire, breakers, receptacles, or GFCI/AFCI devices—is UL-listed and matched to the correct amperage, temperature rating, and environmental conditions to guarantee long-term code compliance and safety.
