FAQs

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

We install a full range of receptacles to match your power and safety needs, including standard 15-amp and 20-amp duplex outlets, GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets for kitchens, baths, garages, and exterior locations, AFCI (Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets for added fire protection, tamper-resistant outlets required in areas accessible to children, weather-resistant outdoor outlets, and smart Wi-Fi or Z-Wave–enabled outlets that integrate with home-automation platforms. If your property has specialized equipment, we can also install 30-amp and 50-amp dedicated outlets for appliances like EV chargers, welders, or RV hookups.

How can I tell if my existing outlets need to be replaced?

Warning signs include discoloration or scorch marks on the cover plate, plugs that feel loose or fall out easily, buzzing or crackling noises, frequent tripped breakers when you use the outlet, a warm faceplate, lack of grounding (two-prong receptacles), or outlets that were installed before the current NEC code updates (pre-2008). Even if outlets look fine, we recommend upgrading any non-GFCI receptacles within six feet of a water source and replacing devices older than 15–20 years to ensure reliable connections and compliance with modern safety standards.

Are tamper-resistant and GFCI outlets required by code in Tennessee?

Yes. The State of Tennessee follows the National Electrical Code (NEC). Under the NEC, virtually all 125-volt, 15- and 20-amp receptacles in residential areas that children can access must be tamper-resistant. GFCI protection is mandated for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, unfinished basements, garages, crawl spaces, exterior outlets, and within six feet of any sink. During our on-site assessment, we verify that existing circuits meet these code requirements and recommend cost-effective upgrades if they don’t.

Can smart outlets be added to an older home’s wiring?

In most cases, yes. Smart outlets draw the same 120-volt power as conventional ones, so retrofitting is usually straightforward. We first check that your electrical box has a neutral conductor—required by most smart receptacles. If neutrals are missing, we can often fish a new cable or add a smart-switch module in the breaker panel instead. We also confirm that your home’s Wi-Fi coverage is strong enough or offer to install a Zigbee/Z-Wave hub as an alternative. Once installed, you can schedule loads, monitor energy use, or control lamps and appliances with voice assistants like Alexa, Google Home, or Siri.

How long does a typical outlet installation or upgrade take, and will my power be shut off?

For a single standard or GFCI receptacle replacement, expect about 20–30 minutes per outlet. Adding a new outlet on an existing circuit usually takes 45–60 minutes, while running an entirely new circuit from the panel can take 2–3 hours depending on wall access and attic or crawl-space conditions. To keep you safe, we shut off the breaker feeding the specific circuit we’re working on, so only that portion of the home loses power—never the entire house. We schedule work in blocks to minimize disruption and test each receptacle before restoring power.
