FAQs
What modern electrical upgrades do you provide for homes and businesses in La Follette?
We handle a full spectrum of upgrades, including service-panel replacements (100–400 amp), whole-home or office rewiring, dedicated circuits for high-demand appliances and EV chargers, LED lighting retrofits, smart-home device integration, surge protection, and energy-efficient breaker solutions. All upgrades are completed to current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards and the City of La Follette’s permitting requirements.
How can I tell if my property needs an electrical repair or a complete rewiring?
Warning signs include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights, warm or discolored outlets, burning odors, or aluminum wiring in a structure more than 40 years old. During our on-site inspection we use thermal imaging and circuit-load analysis to determine whether targeted repairs (e.g., replacing a faulty breaker or receptacle) will solve the issue or if a comprehensive rewiring is the safer, long-term solution.
Are you licensed, insured, and familiar with local La Follette codes?
Yes. Our electricians hold Tennessee State contractor licenses and carry $2 million in general liability insurance plus full workers’ compensation. We obtain all required Campbell County and City of La Follette permits, schedule inspections, and guarantee that every project passes code the first time.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency electrical repair service, and how fast can you arrive?
Absolutely. Our emergency crew is on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Because we’re based less than 10 minutes from downtown La Follette, our average response time within city limits is 30–45 minutes. We arrive with fully stocked vans to resolve most hazards—such as sparking panels or partial power loss—on the spot.
Will upgrading my electrical panel or wiring increase my home’s resale value and energy efficiency?
Yes. Modern buyers and insurers look for 200-amp (or higher) service, AFCI/GFCI protection, and copper wiring. Upgrading eliminates safety concerns, allows for future additions like heat pumps or EV chargers, and can raise property value by 3–5 %. LED lighting and high-efficiency circuits also cut electric bills by up to 20 %, providing ongoing savings.
What should I expect during a service call and how much does it cost?
When you book, we schedule a two-hour arrival window. On site, our technician performs a safety assessment, explains findings, and presents a written, up-front quote. Diagnostic visits inside La Follette city limits start at $89, which is waived if you approve repairs the same day. All workmanship is backed by a three-year labor warranty and manufacturer parts warranties up to 10 years.
