FAQs
What situations are considered electrical emergencies in Signal Mountain?
Any situation that poses an immediate risk to life, property, or critical appliances is an electrical emergency. This includes smoking or sparking outlets, burning odors near panels or wiring, complete or partial power loss, repeatedly tripped breakers that won’t reset, exposed live wires, storm-related damage, and flooding around electrical equipment. If you are unsure, err on the side of safety and call us—our licensed technician can walk you through whether immediate dispatch is warranted.
How fast can an emergency electrician reach my property in Signal Mountain?
Because we keep a dedicated on-call crew for the Signal Mountain area, our average response time is 60 minutes or less—often faster for addresses close to Taft Highway, Shoal Creek Road, or the Mountain Creek corridor. Our trucks are GPS-routed, so you’ll receive a text update with the technician’s estimated arrival time as soon as we dispatch.
Are your emergency services really available 24/7, even on weekends and holidays?
Yes. Electrical problems don’t wait for business hours, so neither do we. Our certified electricians answer calls and roll trucks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year—including nights, Sundays, and major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. The same flat emergency rate applies regardless of the day or time.
What should I do while waiting for the electrician to arrive?
1) If safe to do so, turn off the main breaker or the affected circuit to cut power to the problem area. 2) Keep everyone, including pets, away from the hazard. 3) Do NOT touch wet or charred wiring, switches, or appliances. 4) If you smell burning plastic or see flames, leave the home and dial 911. 5) Have your breaker box location and any recent electrical work details ready so our technician can troubleshoot faster once on site.
Will the technician have the parts needed to fix my problem on the first visit?
Our fully stocked service vans carry hundreds of the most common residential and light-commercial parts: breakers, outlets, GFCIs, switches, wiring, connectors, surge protectors, and even replacement sub-panel components. In more complex cases—such as specialty breakers or large service conductors—we have 24-hour supplier access in Chattanooga, allowing us to obtain materials the same night and complete repairs without long delays.
How much does an emergency electrical repair cost, and do you offer upfront pricing?
We charge a straightforward emergency dispatch fee that covers the trip and an initial safety assessment. After diagnosing the issue, your electrician presents fixed-price repair options before any work begins—no hourly surprises. Most common repairs (breaker replacement, outlet rewiring, minor panel fixes) fall between $175 and $450 total. Extensive panel rebuilds or service-mast repairs are quoted individually and can be financed on the spot if needed. All pricing is in writing, and we honor it even if the job runs longer than expected.
