FAQs

What types of electrical outlets do you install in Kodak homes and businesses?

We install the full range of outlet styles, including standard 15-amp and 20-amp duplex receptacles, GFCI outlets for kitchens, baths, garages and outdoor locations, AFCI-protected outlets for living areas, tamper-resistant child-safe receptacles, weather-resistant models, dedicated 240-volt outlets for appliances or EV chargers, and the latest USB-combo and smart Wi-Fi–enabled receptacles. If you have a specialty requirement—hospital-grade, locking, or industrial—let us know and we can source and install it as well.

Are your outlet installations compliant with Tennessee and National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements?

Yes. All of our electricians are state-licensed and keep current on the latest NEC updates as well as local Sevier County amendments. We use UL-listed devices, size the wiring and breaker protection correctly, and provide GFCI or AFCI protection wherever the code mandates it. Before we close a project, we perform an internal inspection and, when required, schedule the municipal inspection to certify that the work is fully code-compliant.

Can you integrate USB or smart outlets into my existing wiring without major renovations?

In most cases, yes. USB-combo receptacles and many smart Wi-Fi outlets fit in a standard single-gang box and can be wired to the same hot, neutral, and ground conductors already in place. If your existing box is shallow or lacks a ground, we may recommend a box extension or a quick ground-retrofit. For smart outlets that need a neutral, we confirm one is present; if not, we can reroute a neutral or suggest an alternate location. The process is minimally invasive and usually completed in a single visit.

How long will power be interrupted during an outlet installation or upgrade?

For a straightforward replacement, power to the circuit is typically off for 15–30 minutes. Adding a new outlet from an adjacent receptacle usually takes 45–90 minutes. Running an entirely new circuit to the panel can take several hours, depending on attic or crawl-space access. We schedule work in advance, label affected breakers, and restore service as soon as safe testing is complete so household or business operations face minimal disruption.

Do I need a permit or inspection for new outlet installations in Kodak?

Kodak falls under Sevier County’s jurisdiction, which requires electrical permits for any new circuit, GFCI upgrade, or work in commercial settings. Simple like-for-like receptacle swaps in owner-occupied homes generally do not need a permit, but anything involving new wiring, a service panel connection, or changes in load calculations does. We handle the permit application, schedule the county inspection, and provide you with all documentation once the job passes.

How much does it cost to have an outlet installed or upgraded, and what factors affect pricing?

A basic receptacle replacement starts around $85–$120, including parts and labor. Adding a new outlet on an existing circuit typically runs $150–$250. Installing a dedicated 240-volt or smart outlet that requires a new breaker and home-run cable can range from $275–$450. Factors influencing price include distance from the panel, attic/crawl-space accessibility, drywall repair needs, specialty devices (USB, smart, weather-resistant), and permit fees.
