Amanda H.

"Extremely pleased with the speed of the service! Adam Foust came out to the house about an hour after I had scheduled an appointment to look at some plugs that quit working in my garage. Then within the next hour he had me up and running again. If you have electrical needs I suggest you contact HEP and request Adam. He's very smart and very efficient. I couldn't be more pleased."

David L.

"Josh Butler saved the day at my mom's home. Our house had issues with only the basement electric not working. We originally thought that it was a fuse but didn't have any replacements available. It did take them about 24 hours to get to my mom's house and address the call, which was my only complaint. The only reason for that is they only have the phone lines open 24/7, the electricians can only be out anywhere from 8AM-12AM M-F I believe. As for the job he was only here for about an hour, told us what the issues were and gave a solution to our problem. Since we were tight on money he was able to really listen to all of our concerns and fix our bad outlets. I couldn't ask for a better person to come out and help us. Thanks again Josh 😁"

Erin V.

"Just used HEP again for some electrical issues....Ric was great, informative and had a resolution to our issues quickly!!! Thanks Ric and HEP for another outstanding job...... I have used HEP pretty frequently this year for various jobs that I needed help with in a home I was selling and now in a new home recently purchased. HEP was on the way when I needed a repair for a leaky toilet, installation of a new range hood, installation of 2 garbage disposals for 2 kitchens, electrical outlets installed for the 2 garbage disposals, conversion of a fuse box to a circuit breaker and next week they will be coming to repair/replace my A/C unit. Why do I keep coming back to them? No doubt because HEP is on the way anytime I need them. Their techs are knowledgeable and just get the job done. I most definitely will keep using them in the future!"

Understanding Electrical Outlets in Tennessee Homes

How Modern Outlets Function

An electrical outlet may look simple, yet it houses a combination of safety features and conductive parts designed to deliver stable power. Inside each receptacle you will find:

Hot terminals that supply current
Neutral terminals that complete the circuit
A ground connection for fault protection
Spring contacts that grip plug prongs firmly

In Tennessee, outlets must meet National Electrical Code (NEC) standards as well as any local amendments that ensure protection against humidity, temperature swings, and occasional power surges common across the state.

Common Outlet Types You’ll Encounter

Standard 15-amp duplex outlets
Heavy-duty 20-amp receptacles for kitchens and workshops
Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets for bathrooms, garages, and outdoor zones
Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) outlets required in many living areas
Combination USB/outlet devices for fast device charging

Why Proper Outlet Installation Matters

A correctly wired outlet is essential for electrical safety, appliance performance, and energy efficiency. Tennessee code requires that every new or replacement outlet be installed by a qualified electrician to ensure:

Adequate circuit capacity to prevent overloads
Correct grounding to eliminate shock hazards
Compliance with GFCI and AFCI protection rules
Safe operation during the region’s frequent thunderstorms

Risks of DIY Electrical Outlet Work

Fire caused by loose connections or undersized wiring
Insurance complications after an unlicensed repair
Non-compliance penalties during home inspections
Hidden faults that shorten appliance life span
