FAQs
What types of electrical repairs do you handle in Sequatchie County?
Our licensed electricians are equipped to tackle virtually any residential or light-commercial repair. Common requests include troubleshooting dead outlets, replacing faulty breakers, repairing or upgrading service panels, fixing wiring damaged by rodents or storms, resolving frequent tripping or flickering issues, installing or repairing ceiling fans, lighting fixtures, GFCI/AFCI protection, and correcting code violations uncovered during home inspections or real-estate transactions. We also service well-pump controls, barn and outbuilding wiring, and standby generator hookups—needs that are especially common in more rural parts of Sequatchie.
How quickly can you dispatch an electrician to my Sequatchie home or business?
Because we are headquartered less than 20 minutes from downtown Dunlap, most non-emergency calls can be scheduled same-day or next-day. For urgent situations such as loss of power, burning smells, or sparking panels, we offer 24/7 emergency response and can typically arrive within 60–90 minutes anywhere in Sequatchie County, including Cartwright, Lewis Chapel, and Cagle. Our trucks are fully stocked so most repairs can be completed on the first visit, minimizing downtime and repeat trips.
Are your electricians licensed and insured in Tennessee?
Yes. Every field technician holds a State of Tennessee Limited Licensed Electrician (LLE) or Electrical Contractor (CE) credential, and we maintain active general liability and workers’ compensation coverage that exceeds state minimums. We also require ongoing continuing-education hours focused on the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) updates and local Sequatchie County amendments, so you can trust that all work is performed safely and legally.
How do you price electrical repair jobs, and do you offer free estimates?
We use a transparent flat-rate pricing system. After a visual inspection and necessary diagnostic testing, your electrician will present a written quote that outlines labor, materials, permit fees (if applicable), and warranty coverage. You approve the price upfront—there are no surprise add-ons at invoicing time. Estimates for repairs and small upgrades are free within Sequatchie County; larger projects such as full rewires or service-panel replacements include a detailed load calculation and are credited back if you proceed with the work.
Is it worth upgrading my older aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring?
In many Sequatchie homes built before the late 1970s, we still encounter aluminum branch-circuit wiring and even knob-and-tube in attics. Both present higher fire risks due to loosening connections and insulation breakdown. Insurance carriers increasingly require remediation, and resale value is affected. A partial or full rewire to modern copper, or the use of certified AlumiConn connectors at all termination points, greatly reduces hazards. We provide a free assessment, load calculation, and phased upgrade plan that can be completed room by room to fit your budget while meeting NEC 2023 standards.
What should I do if my breakers trip frequently or my lights flicker?
Frequent trips and flickering usually signal overloaded circuits, loose neutral connections, or deteriorating breaker contacts. First, note what appliances are running when the issue occurs and avoid relying on extension cords or splitters. Then schedule a professional inspection—DIY tightening can damage conductors or violate code. Our diagnostic process includes thermal imaging to locate hot spots, impedance testing to evaluate wire integrity, and panel torque checks. Remedial options range from redistributing loads and upgrading breakers to installing a new service panel or dedicated circuits for HVAC, ranges, and EV chargers. Ignoring repeated trips can lead to overheating and potential fire, so prompt evaluation is essential.
