FAQs
What kinds of electrical outlets can Cutting-Edge Solutions Electrical install or replace in my Hixson home?
Our licensed electricians handle the full spectrum of residential and light–commercial receptacles, including standard 15- and 20-amp duplex outlets, GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) outlets for kitchens, baths, garages and outdoor areas, AFCI (arc-fault circuit interrupter) outlets for added fire protection, 240-volt dryer and range receptacles, tamper-resistant child-safe outlets, USB-integrated outlets, and Wi-Fi–enabled smart outlets. We also provide specialty weather-proof and in-floor receptacles for patios, workshops and island counters.
Why should I upgrade older receptacles to GFCI or AFCI models?
Modern codes require GFCI protection anywhere water or moisture might be present and AFCI protection in most living areas. These devices instantly disconnect power when they sense ground faults, arcs or other dangerous conditions, preventing electric shock and greatly reducing the risk of electrical fires. Upgrading outlets – especially in homes built before 2008 – brings your wiring up to current NEC standards, can lower homeowners-insurance premiums, and offers better safety for family members and sensitive electronics.
Do you install USB charging and smart outlets, and what advantages do they provide?
Yes. USB-A, USB-C and combination USB/AC receptacles eliminate bulky power cubes and provide fast, dedicated charging for phones, tablets and laptops. Smart outlets add wireless or voice control via Alexa, Google or Apple Home, let you monitor energy consumption, create schedules, and integrate with security systems. Both upgrades help de-clutter counter space, improve energy efficiency and raise your property’s resale value.
How long does a typical outlet installation or replacement take, and will my power be shut off?
A single like-for-like outlet swap usually takes 20–30 minutes. Adding a new receptacle on an existing circuit averages 60–90 minutes, while running a new dedicated line (for appliances, EV chargers, etc.) can take two to four hours. We isolate only the affected breaker, so the outage is limited to that circuit. Before leaving, we restore power, test every connection with calibrated meters, and tidy the work area.
Are your technicians licensed and insured to work in Hixson, and do you handle permits?
Absolutely. All of our electricians hold current Tennessee Electrical Contractor licenses and maintain OSHA safety certifications. Cutting-Edge Solutions Electrical carries $2 million in general liability and full workers-comp coverage. For projects that require municipal inspection—such as adding new circuits, upgrading a service panel or installing exterior receptacles—we secure the permit, coordinate with the Hixson/Chattanooga codes office, and meet the inspector on-site, ensuring full compliance and paperwork completion.
What does an outlet upgrade cost, and can I get a free estimate?
Pricing depends on factors like outlet type, wiring accessibility and panel capacity. In Hixson, standard receptacle replacements start around $89 each when multiple are done during the same visit. GFCI/AFCI or USB outlets range from $125–$175 installed, while smart or 240-volt appliance receptacles usually run $200–$350. We provide complimentary on-site or virtual estimates, outline all labor and material charges up front, and offer financing options for larger electrical projects.
