FAQs
What makes your electrical outlet installations in Jonesborough meet the highest safety standards?
We strictly follow the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, use UL-listed components, and implement best-practice wiring techniques such as proper grounding, AFCI/GFCI protection where required, and torque-specific terminations. In addition, every outlet installation undergoes a multi-point inspection and live-load test before we sign off on the work.
Do I need GFCI or AFCI protection for all outlets in my home?
GFCIs are required in areas where moisture is presentâkitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages, and all exterior locations. AFCIs are now mandated for most 120-volt, 15- and 20-amp branch circuits in habitable rooms to guard against arc faults that can cause fires. Our electricians evaluate each circuit and recommend or install the correct protection device to ensure compliance and maximum safety.
How can I tell if my existing outlets are unsafe or outdated?
Warning signs include warm or discolored faceplates, frequent tripping of breakers, loose plugs, two-prong (ungrounded) receptacles, or audible buzzing when devices are plugged in. If you notice any of these issues, book an inspection; weâll test voltage, check for proper grounding, and advise on replacement or upgrades.
Can you install tamper-resistant outlets for child safety?
Yes. Tamper-resistant (TR) receptacles have built-in shutters that block foreign objects. They are required by code in all new residential constructions and recommended for any home with children. We stock TR outlets that match your dĂŠcor and can retrofit them in existing boxes without significant drywall repair.
How long does a typical outlet replacement or addition take?
Most single-outlet replacements take about 20â30 minutes. Adding a new outlet on an existing circuit usually takes 1â2 hours, depending on wall type, accessibility, and attic/basement routing. We provide a precise timeline after a quick on-site assessment and always clean up before leaving.
Is your work covered by any warranty or inspection guarantee?
Absolutely. All outlet installations come with a 1-year workmanship warranty and the manufacturerâs component warranty (typically 5â10 years). We also offer a free safety re-inspection within the first year, giving you peace of mind that your electrical system continues to operate safely and efficiently.
