FAQs
What types of electrical outlet services does Precision & Care Electrical provide in Ten Mile?
We handle everything related to outlets—from installing brand-new receptacles in new construction or room additions to troubleshooting, repairing, and replacing damaged or outdated outlets. Our technicians can upgrade you to tamper-resistant, GFCI, AFCI, USB-combo, or smart Wi-Fi-controlled outlets, and we also move or add outlets to eliminate the need for extension cords.
How do I know if my existing outlets need to be replaced?
Warning signs include outlets that feel warm, are loose in the wall, show scorch marks or buzzing sounds, no longer hold a plug tightly, or are two-prong (ungrounded) receptacles. Frequent tripped breakers or flickering lights when you plug something in are also indicators. If you notice any of these issues, shut off power to the outlet at the breaker and schedule an inspection—continued use can present shock and fire hazards.
Are GFCI and AFCI outlets required in my Ten Mile home?
Yes. Under the current NEC, which Tennessee has adopted, GFCI protection is required in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, garages, unfinished basements, outdoor outlets, and within 6 ft of any sink. AFCI protection is required on most 120-volt branch circuits supplying living areas such as bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways. Installing the correct device not only keeps you code-compliant but significantly reduces the risk of electric shock and arc-fault-related fires.
Can you install USB or smart outlets, and what advantages do they offer?
Absolutely. USB outlets free up traditional receptacle slots and provide faster charging without bulky adapters. Smart outlets connect to your home’s Wi-Fi, letting you control lamps or appliances from a phone app or voice assistant, create schedules, and monitor energy use. These upgrades add convenience, reduce clutter, and can even help lower energy bills by eliminating “vampire” loads.
What should I expect in terms of cost and project timeline for outlet work?
A straightforward outlet replacement usually takes about 20–30 minutes and starts around $120, including labor, materials, and permitting when required. Adding a new outlet where wiring already exists often costs $150–250. Running new wiring or upgrading to GFCI/AFCI or smart outlets can range from $200 to $400 per location. We always provide a written, no-obligation quote after an on-site assessment so you know the exact price before we begin.
Is it safe to replace or install an outlet myself, or should I hire a licensed electrician?
Even though a single receptacle may look simple, replacing or adding outlets involves de-energizing the correct circuit, ensuring proper grounding, verifying wire size and breaker capacity, and following NEC and local code requirements. Mistakes can result in shocks, fires, or damage to electronics. Hiring Precision & Care Electrical guarantees the work is done safely, inspected, and warrantied—protecting your family and your Ten Mile home.
