FAQs
What are the most common signs that my La Follette home or business needs an electrical system overhaul?
Frequent breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, outlets that feel warm, a persistent burning smell, aluminum wiring in an older building, or a service panel rated under 100 amps are all red flags. If your property still relies on knob-and-tube wiring or a fuse box, it is almost certainly overdue for a full upgrade to meet current safety codes and power demands.
What exactly is included in an electrical system overhaul?
A full overhaul typically involves replacing the service entrance cable, installing a new main panel with modern breakers, upgrading branch circuits and grounding, adding AFCI/GFCI protection where required, updating outlets and switches, labeling circuits, and performing a load calculation to ensure the new system can handle present and future electrical usage. All work is completed to the latest NEC and La Follette Municipal Code standards.
How long will an overhaul or major repair take, and will my power be off the entire time?
Most residential overhauls are completed in one to three days. Commercial projects vary from a weekend shutdown to a phased approach over several weeks. Your power is usually only disconnected during panel change-outs and meter upgrades—typically 4-8 hours. We coordinate with La Follette Utilities Board in advance to minimize downtime and keep critical circuits energized whenever possible.
Are you licensed, insured, and able to obtain the required permits in La Follette?
Yes. We hold a Tennessee Electrical Contractor’s License (# listed on request), carry $2 million in general liability coverage, and maintain workers’ compensation for every technician. We handle all permit applications, plan reviews, and inspections with the City of La Follette and Campbell County Building Code offices, so you remain fully code-compliant and protected.
Will upgrading my electrical system improve safety and property value?
Absolutely. Replacing outdated wiring and panels eliminates fire hazards, reduces the risk of electrocution, and ensures appliances run at the correct voltage. Insurance companies often offer lower premiums for properties with modern electrical systems. Realtors report that buyers are willing to pay more for homes documented as ‘fully rewired’ or ‘200-amp service ready,’ making an overhaul one of the highest-ROI improvements you can perform.
How much does a system overhaul cost, and do you provide free estimates?
Costs vary with the size of the service (100 amp vs. 200 amp+), the condition of existing wiring, and any code upgrades needed. A typical single-family home overhaul in La Follette ranges from $4,500 to $9,000, while larger commercial projects can run higher. We provide no-obligation on-site evaluations, a written line-item estimate, and several financing options, including 0% interest for qualified homeowners.
