FAQs
What does a full electrical system overhaul include?
A system overhaul involves removing outdated or unsafe wiring, upgrading service panels and breakers, adding new grounded circuits, replacing receptacles and switches, and testing the entire network to meet the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) and City of Tullahoma requirements. We also label all circuits, install AFCI/GFCI protection where required, and can integrate surge protection or smart-home components if requested.
How do I know my Tullahoma home or facility needs an overhaul rather than a simple repair?
You should consider an overhaul if your building is 40+ years old, still uses cloth-covered or aluminum branch wiring, lacks grounding, frequently trips breakers, shows signs of overheating (scorched outlets, buzzing panel), or if you are adding high-demand equipment such as HVAC upgrades, EV chargers, or new machinery. A free load-calculation and inspection will confirm whether targeted repairs or a full replacement is the safer, more cost-effective choice.
How long will an electrical overhaul take?
For an average 1,500-2,000 sq ft Tullahoma residence, the project typically spans 3-5 working days, including final inspection. Larger homes or light-commercial buildings may require 1–2 weeks. Factors that extend the timeline include concealed wiring in finished walls, panel relocation, or additional low-voltage cabling (data, security). We provide a detailed schedule before work begins so you know exactly what to expect.
Will my power be off the entire time?
No. We arrange temporary power or stage the work so that only specific circuits are de-energized while they are being replaced. Complete shut-downs usually last a few hours when we swap the main service equipment. We coordinate with Tullahoma Utilities Authority to minimize disruption and keep essential appliances or business operations running whenever possible.
Are permits and inspections required in Tullahoma, and who handles them?
Yes. The City of Tullahoma Building Codes Department requires an electrical permit for any service-panel replacement or re-wiring project. We obtain all permits, schedule interim rough-in and final inspections, and provide the inspector’s approval paperwork for your records. This ensures compliance with NEC 2023 amendments adopted locally and may help reduce homeowners-insurance premiums.
What is the typical cost of a complete electrical overhaul in Tullahoma?
Pricing varies with square footage, number of circuits, and the condition of existing wiring, but most single-family homes fall between $6,000 and $15,000. Light-commercial properties usually range from $15,000 to $50,000. We offer a detailed, no-obligation quote that breaks down labor, materials, permit fees, and any optional upgrades so you can make an informed decision.
