FAQs
What types of electrical services do you provide in Tellico Plains?
Our team handles everything from basic troubleshooting and fixture replacements to full-scale wiring for new construction, cabin remodels, and light commercial projects. Popular requests in Tellico Plains include service-panel upgrades, whole-home surge protection, landscape and dock lighting, ceiling-fan installs, generator transfer switches, and RV hookups for mountain properties.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Yes. Every technician who arrives at your door is a Tennessee-licensed journeyman or master electrician and is covered by full liability and workers-compensation insurance. We also maintain up-to-date continuing-education credits to stay current with the National Electrical Code and state regulations.
How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency?
Because Tellico Plains and the surrounding Cherohala Skyway communities are somewhat remote, we keep a stocked service vehicle in Monroe County at all times. For most emergencies—sparking outlets, partial power loss, tripped main breakers—we can be on site within 60–90 minutes during business hours and offer 24/7 on-call service for critical issues.
Do you offer upfront pricing and free estimates?
Absolutely. After a brief site visit or a detailed phone/video consultation, we provide a written quote that lists parts, labor, and any permit fees so you know the exact cost before work begins. If additional issues are uncovered, we discuss options and obtain your approval first—no surprise add-ons on the final invoice.
What steps do you take to ensure safety and code compliance?
Safety starts with proper planning. We pull all required Monroe County permits, follow the 2023 National Electrical Code, and use UL-listed materials suited to our humid, mountainous climate. Before we leave, circuits are torque-tested, GFCI/AFCI protection is verified, and all work areas are cleaned. You receive a signed inspection checklist and any warranty paperwork for your records.
Can you help upgrade my home’s electrical panel or add an EV charging station?
Yes. Many Tellico Plains homes still operate on outdated 100-amp fuse boxes. We can upgrade you to a modern 200-amp breaker panel, re-balance loads, and install surge protection in one visit. For EV owners, we size dedicated circuits, install Level-2 chargers, and coordinate with the utility if a service-entrance upgrade or meter relocation is required.
