Frequently Asked Questions
My lights are flickering after a storm. Could this be a damaged underground cable, and what should I do?
Yes, flickering lights can be a sign of water intrusion or damage to underground service cables, a common issue in Knoxville's climate. It's a serious safety concern. Do not attempt to investigate it yourself. Contact us immediately for a professional electric inspection. We can safely diagnose the issue, whether it's at the panel, in the wiring, or with the external service line, and provide the necessary repair to protect your home.
I attempted some DIY electrical work that now has me worried. Can you perform an inspection to make sure it's safe?
Absolutely. We strongly recommend a professional inspection for any DIY electrical project to ensure it meets safety codes and doesn't pose a fire or shock hazard. Our comprehensive electric inspection service will thoroughly check your work, identify any potential issues like overloaded circuits or improper connections, and provide a clear, honest assessment and any needed repairs to give you peace of mind.
My circuit breaker trips frequently. Is this a sign I need a panel repair or replacement?
Frequent tripping is often a sign that your electrical panel is overloaded, aging, or faulty—common in older Knoxville homes or after additions of new appliances. It can also stem from underlying issues like faulty wiring. We specialize in electric panel repair and installation.
