Electrical Repairs, Outlets & Dedicated Circuits
Trent Electrical provides residential electrical repairs, outlet and switch replacement, GFCI and AFCI corrections, wiring repairs and new dedicated circuits throughout Rogersville, Hawkins County and the surrounding East Tennessee communities. Every job is diagnosed, explained and completed personally by licensed electrician Ryan Trent.

What's included
- Outlets & ReceptaclesLoose, broken, scorched or outdated receptacles replaced, including tamper-resistant, weather-resistant and USB outlets.
- Switches & DimmersWorn switches, incompatible dimmers, loose connections, buzzing and intermittent operation corrected.
- GFCI & AFCI ProtectionGFCI receptacles and breakers, AFCI protection and combination devices installed or repaired after the cause of tripping is identified.
- Dedicated Appliance CircuitsProperly planned circuits for household equipment when the existing wiring or load requires one.
- Wiring & Code CorrectionsOpen grounds, reversed polarity, damaged conductors, improper splices, overloaded boxes and unsafe previous work corrected.
- Smoke & CO AlarmsHardwired and interconnected smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms installed or replaced, including battery-backup models.
Small visible electrical problems can point to something deeper than a worn cover plate. A warm or loose outlet, a buzzing switch, a receptacle that will not hold a plug, or a GFCI that keeps tripping can reveal worn contacts, loose terminations, damaged wiring, or a fault behind the wall. Replacing the part without checking the circuit can leave the real problem untouched.
Ryan tests the circuit first, identifies what is actually happening, and explains the repair before changing parts. The right fix depends on the capacity available, the wiring already in the home, the condition of the devices and boxes, and how that circuit is used day to day.
Trent Electrical handles single repairs and grouped household updates. That can mean one failed receptacle, a room of worn switches, GFCI and AFCI corrections, evaluating old two-prong outlets, finishing unsafe previous work, or adding a dedicated circuit for an appliance that should not share power with the rest of the room.
Common reasons to call include a warm, loose, or discolored outlet; a buzzing or intermittent switch; a GFCI that will not reset; an appliance needing its own circuit; two-prong outlet concerns; unfinished or unsafe wiring left by someone else; and smoke or carbon-monoxide alarms that are expired, mismatched, or no longer working correctly.
The same person who diagnoses the issue performs the work. There is no sales team and no handoff between departments — just a clear explanation, practical repair options, and the work completed by Ryan.
If the symptom is unknown or keeps coming back, the dedicated electrical troubleshooting service is built for deeper diagnostics. If you already know the updates you want grouped together, this repair page is the right place to start.
