FAQs

What types of electrical outlets can Reliable Energy Flow Electrical install in my Jonesborough home?

Our licensed electricians install all standard 15-amp and 20-amp receptacles, 240-volt outlets for dryers or EV chargers, tamper-resistant child-safe receptacles, weather-resistant outdoor outlets, USB/USB-C combo outlets, smart Wi-Fi–enabled receptacles, and specialty devices such as twist-lock or hospital-grade outlets. We will evaluate your circuit capacity, load requirements, and code compliance before recommending the best option for each location.

How do I know if my existing outlets need to be repaired or replaced?

Warning signs include loose plugs that fall out, cracked or discolored cover plates, sparks when you insert a plug, frequent breaker trips, a burning smell, or warm/hot outlets. Outlets more than 20–25 years old may lack grounding or modern safety features. If you notice any of these issues, shut off the circuit and call us for a professional inspection to avoid shock and fire hazards.

Can you upgrade my outlets to include USB charging ports?

Yes. We carry UL-listed duplex outlets with built-in USB-A and USB-C ports that deliver up to 5 amps of combined charging power. We can usually swap these devices into the existing box without altering drywall, provided the box is a standard depth and wiring is up to code. We’ll confirm the circuit rating, ensure proper grounding, and label the breaker for future reference.

Do you offer GFCI and AFCI outlet installation for added safety?

Absolutely. Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are required in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, unfinished basements, and outdoor areas in Tennessee. Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) protection is now mandated for most living spaces. We install stand-alone GFCI/AFCI receptacles or combination breakers to bring older homes up to current NEC standards, greatly reducing shock and fire risks.

How long does a typical outlet installation or replacement take, and will my power be shut off?

Replacing a single standard outlet usually takes 20–30 minutes. Adding a new outlet on an existing circuit averages 60–90 minutes, while running a brand-new dedicated circuit can take 2–4 hours depending on distance and attic/crawl-space access. For safety, we turn off only the specific breaker feeding the circuit, so the rest of your home remains powered during the work.

Are permits or inspections required for outlet work in Jonesborough, and do you handle them?

Washington County and the Town of Jonesborough require an electrical permit when adding new circuits, installing 240-volt receptacles, or performing significant wiring changes. Minor like-for-like replacements inside the same box typically do not require a permit. When a permit is needed, Reliable Energy Flow Electrical will file the paperwork, schedule the inspector, and ensure that the work passes all state and local code requirements before closing the job.
