FAQs
What types of electrical repair services do you provide in Kingsport?
Our technicians handle the full spectrum of residential and light-commercial electrical repairs, including troubleshooting power outages, repairing or replacing faulty outlets and switches, fixing flickering lights, installing GFCI/AFCI protection, rewiring damaged circuits, replacing ceiling-fan or lighting fixtures, and upgrading service panels. We also specialize in surge protection and EV-charger installation to meet modern power demands.
How quickly can a licensed electrician reach my Kingsport home for an emergency repair?
For true electrical emergencies—such as smoking outlets, sparking panels, or partial power loss—we offer 24/7 dispatch and can typically arrive anywhere in the Kingsport area within 60–90 minutes. Non-emergency service calls are usually scheduled for the same or next business day, depending on workload and your availability.
Are your electricians licensed and insured in Tennessee?
Yes. Every field technician carries a current Tennessee LLE (Limited Licensed Electrician) or E-license, meets continuing-education requirements, and is fully covered by liability and workers’ compensation insurance. This protects you, your property, and our team while work is being performed.
How much does common electrical repair typically cost?
Costs vary with the complexity of the job, but typical price ranges in Kingsport are: • Diagnostic service call: $95–$125 (applied toward repair when approved) • Outlet or switch replacement: $85–$150 per point • Light fixture replacement: $125–$250 • Breaker replacement: $150–$275 • Service-panel upgrade: $1,800–$3,500 After diagnosis, you receive a flat, upfront quote so you know the total before we begin; there are no hidden charges or overtime fees.
Do you offer warranties on parts and labor?
All repair work comes with a 1-year labor warranty and manufacturer warranties on installed parts (typically 1–5 years). If the same issue reoccurs within the warranty period, we will return and correct it at no additional cost, giving you peace of mind and long-term reliability.
Can you upgrade my older Kingsport home’s electrical panel to support modern appliances?
Absolutely. Many Kingsport homes still rely on 60- or 100-amp service panels that can’t safely power today’s HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, and electronics. We assess your load requirements, coordinate with AEP or BrightRidge for service-entrance changes, install a new 200-amp (or larger) panel with arc-fault and surge protection, and pull all necessary city permits. Most panel upgrades are completed in one day, restoring full power by evening.
