Service
Residential electrician in Knoxville, TN
As a residential electrician, houses are half of what we do. Service calls, upgrades, remodels, and the jobs people put off until something stops working.
Working in someone's house is different from working on a job site. We wear covers, we put down drop cloths, we tell you before we shut power off, and we clean up.
Knoxville has a lot of housing stock that predates the wiring people now plug into it. A 1950s house with a 100 amp panel was never built for two refrigerators, a hot tub, and a car charger. Most of our residential calls come down to that gap.
If you are not sure which service page fits your problem, start here and call. We will point you at the right one.

Service calls carry a diagnostic fee that is applied to the repair if you go ahead.
