Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation - Clarksville's Emergency Electrical Services

As your local electric cooperative, CEMC can provide resources and recommendations for qualified, licensed electricians in our service area who perform inspections. While we maintain the lines to your home, internal wiring inspections are typically handled by certified third-party professionals. Contact our member services team; we can help connect you with trusted local contractors familiar with our area's electrical standards and common issues, like ceiling fan wiring, to ensure your home's safety.

Loose connections and ceiling fan wiring failures are common issues we see in Clarksville homes, often due to humidity and normal wear. Your safety is the priority. First, turn off the power to the affected circuit at your breaker panel. For issues within your home's wiring, you'll need a licensed electrician. CEMC can provide a list of recommended local electricians who are experienced in diagnosing and safely repairing these specific problems to prevent potential fire hazards.

Being a member-owner means CEMC operates for your benefit, not for corporate profits. Any margins are allocated back to the membership as capital credits. Our locally elected board of directors, who are your neighbors, makes decisions focused on reliable service and fair rates for our community. This structure allows us to reinvest in our system—over 8,323 miles of line—and offer supportive programs like energy assistance and efficiency tips, all tailored to the needs of Middle Tennessee residents.
