Safety Audits.

Older houses in East Tennessee carry the history of every electrician who ever touched them. A 1940s knob-and-tube run feeding a 1970s aluminum branch circuit feeding a 1990s romex extension powering a 2020 LED ceiling fan. Each generation added what it needed and walked away. The result is a house that works most of the time and burns the rest of the time.

A safety audit catches that before it catches fire. We go through the house top to bottom: attic, crawl space, panel, every outlet, every junction box we can find. Aluminum branch wiring is flagged on sight — it failed catastrophically often enough in the 1960s and 1970s that the Consumer Product Safety Commission still treats it as a major fire hazard. Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels are flagged on sight — independent testing found roughly one in four breakers fails to trip on a fault. Knob and tube buried under modern insulation is flagged on sight — the original design assumed the wire could shed heat into open air, and insulation eliminates that.

Mobile homes get their own checklist. The bonding jumper between the service equipment and the chassis is the single most common code violation we find, and the most dangerous. Loose feeder lugs at the distribution panel run a close second. We check both on every mobile home audit.

Rental property owners get a compliance walk-through: hardwired interconnected smoke alarms, GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages, and exteriors, tamper-resistant receptacles within reach of children, and AFCI protection on bedroom and living-area circuits. Tennessee landlord-tenant law and insurance carriers are both leaning harder on these every year.

Service area includes Rogersville, Church Hill, Mount Carmel, Surgoinsville, Bulls Gap, Mooresburg, Kingsport, Morristown, Greeneville, and the surrounding Hawkins, Hamblen, and Greene County areas.
