FAQs
What qualifies as an “urgent electrical repair,” and how quickly can you respond in Ooltewah?
Anything that poses an immediate safety risk or prevents essential power—such as smoking panels, tripped breakers that won’t reset, power outages in part or all of the home, sparking outlets, or storm-related damage—counts as urgent. Because we keep a dedicated emergency crew on standby, we can usually be at any address in Ooltewah within 60 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Are your electricians licensed and insured to work in Tennessee?
Yes. Every technician who walks through your door holds a current Tennessee electrical license and carries full liability and workers’-compensation insurance. Our company license number and proof of insurance are available on request, so you can feel confident you’re working with qualified professionals who meet state and local codes.
What should I do if I smell burning wires or see sparks from an outlet?
First, turn off the circuit breaker that supplies the affected outlet or area, if it’s safe to reach the panel. Unplug any connected devices. Do NOT pour water on an electrical fire—use a Class C extinguisher or call 911 if flames are visible. Once the immediate danger is contained, call our emergency line. Describe what you saw and smelled so our dispatcher can send a technician equipped with the right parts and tools.
Can you handle after-hours or weekend emergency calls?
Absolutely. Electrical emergencies rarely wait for business hours, so our dispatch center is staffed 24/7—including nights, weekends, and holidays. The on-call electrician carries common replacement parts, diagnostic equipment, and temporary power solutions to keep your home or business safe until a permanent repair is completed.
How much will an urgent repair cost, and do you provide upfront estimates?
Emergency service starts with a flat dispatch fee that covers travel and an on-site safety assessment. After diagnosing the issue, the electrician will give you a written, itemized estimate before any work begins. There are no surprise charges—if additional problems are discovered, we’ll discuss options and costs with you first. We also accept major credit cards and offer financing on larger repairs.
