FAQs

What types of electrical outlets do you install or replace in Tazewell homes and businesses?

We install a full range of outlets, including standard 15-amp and 20-amp duplex receptacles, tamper-resistant (TR) outlets required by code, GFCI outlets for kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations, AFCI outlets for added arc-fault protection, USB/USB-C charging outlets, smart Wi-Fi-enabled receptacles, and specialty 240-volt outlets for appliances such as dryers, ranges, and EV chargers. All products are sourced from trusted, UL-listed manufacturers to ensure long-term reliability.

How do I know if I need a GFCI outlet instead of a standard outlet?

National Electrical Code (NEC) requires GFCI protection in areas with a higher risk of shock, such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, crawl spaces, unfinished basements, and all exterior receptacles. If your existing outlet in any of these areas lacks the familiar GFCI “test” and “reset” buttons, you should upgrade. Our technicians can evaluate your panel as well, because sometimes GFCI protection can be provided at the breaker instead of at each individual receptacle.

Are permits or inspections required for an outlet replacement or addition in Tazewell?

Most new circuit installations and any modifications to existing wiring almost always require an electrical permit and subsequent inspection by the Tazewell County building department. Simple like-for-like replacements of a single receptacle typically do not need a permit, but whenever new wiring, circuit extensions, or GFCI/AFCI upgrades are included, we pull the necessary permits on your behalf and schedule the final inspection to verify code compliance.

What is the average cost to have an outlet installed or upgraded by your team?

Pricing varies based on the type of outlet and access to existing wiring. As a general guide: standard duplex replacements start around $95 per outlet, GFCI upgrades run $135–$165, USB/USB-C receptacles are $145–$185, and a new dedicated 20-amp circuit with a 120-volt outlet can range from $295 to $495, depending on the wire run length and the condition of your panel. We provide free on-site estimates in Tazewell, so you’ll receive a firm price before any work begins.

How long does a typical outlet installation take, and will there be power interruptions?

A straightforward replacement of an existing outlet usually takes 15–30 minutes, while installing a new outlet on an existing circuit averages 60–90 minutes. Running a brand-new circuit from the service panel may take 2–4 hours. During the work, we will shut off power only to the affected circuit(s) to ensure safety, so interruptions are minimal and localised. We confirm power restoration and verify proper polarity and grounding before we leave.

Do your electrical outlet services come with a warranty?

Yes. All outlets and components we supply are backed by the manufacturer’s 1-year to lifetime product warranty, and we provide our own 3-year workmanship warranty that covers labor and any installation-related issues. If any problem arises in that period—loose connections, tripped GFCI resets, or cosmetic defects—we will repair or replace the outlet at no additional cost. Our goal is to deliver worry-free, code-compliant service throughout Tazewell and the surrounding communities.
