FAQs
What types of electrical repairs do you handle in Kingsport?
Our licensed electricians can diagnose and repair virtually any residential or light-commercial electrical problem. Common calls include tripped breakers, dead outlets or switches, flickering lights, ceiling-fan or lighting-fixture replacement, GFCI/AFCI protection issues, whole-home surge protection, service-panel repairs or upgrades, smoke-detector wiring, electric-vehicle charger installs, and storm-related damage. If you’re unsure whether we handle your specific issue, just give us a call—odds are we do.
Do you provide 24/7 emergency electrical service?
Yes. Electrical hazards don’t keep business hours, so neither do we. Our emergency line is staffed around the clock, including weekends and holidays. A live dispatcher will gather details about your outage, burning smell, sparking panel, or any other urgent concern and send the on-call technician immediately. Most customers in the Kingsport area see a tech at their door within an hour for true emergencies.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Absolutely. Every field technician holds a Tennessee state electrical license and completes ongoing code-update and safety training. We carry full liability and workers’-comp insurance, so you’re protected from liability while we work on your property. Upon request, we can email or show proof of licensing and insurance before work begins.
How soon can you schedule a non-emergency repair and how long will the job take?
For routine issues we can usually book same-day or next-day appointments in Kingsport, Colonial Heights, and surrounding communities. After arriving, the technician performs a diagnostic that typically takes 15-30 minutes. Once you approve the quoted price, most single-circuit repairs (like fixing an outlet or replacing a breaker) are finished within an hour. Larger projects—panel replacements, rewiring, or multi-circuit troubleshooting—may require several hours or a return visit, but we’ll give you a clear timeline up front.
How do you price electrical repairs? Will I know the cost before work starts?
We use flat-rate, menu-style pricing based on national averages adjusted for the Kingsport market. After diagnosing the problem, your electrician will present written options with exact prices—not estimates—including parts, labor, trip charge, and tax. You choose the solution that fits your needs and budget, and we stick to that price; there are no surprise add-ons unless additional issues are discovered and authorized by you.
What should I do to stay safe while waiting for the electrician to arrive?
If you smell burning, see sparks, or feel heat around a device, switch off the affected breaker—or the main breaker if you’re unsure—which will cut power to the problem area. Keep children and pets away from the site, and never touch exposed wiring or a warm electrical panel. Do not use water to douse any electrical fire; use a Class C extinguisher if one is available and it’s safe to do so. If there’s smoke or fire, evacuate and call 911 first, then call us once the home is cleared. Taking these precautions greatly reduces the risk of shock or fire while you wait.
