The city does. Since July 1, 2024, the City of Spring Hill has issued its own electrical permits and done its own inspections, which it announced as a first for the city. In parts of Tennessee without a local program, the State Fire Marshal's Office handles electrical permits instead, so an address just outside Spring Hill's city limits may go through the state. A new circuit, a panel replacement, a generator hookup or an EV charger generally needs a permit and an inspection, and the inspection is part of doing the job right. ## Which power company serves your Spring Hill home, and why it matters Three electric utilities serve Spring Hill: Middle Tennessee Electric, Columbia Power and Water Systems, and Duck River Electric. Your bill says which is yours. For most repairs inside the house, it makes no difference. It does matter for a panel upgrade, a new meter base or a bigger service, because the meter belongs to the utility, and the utility disconnects and reconnects power on its own schedule and under its own requirements. If the whole house or the whole street goes dark, call your utility first. If it's one room or one circuit, the problem is inside your walls, and that's where we come in. ## Adding an EV charger or generator to a Spring Hill home General Motors' Spring Hill plant has shifted toward electric vehicle production, and adding a home charger is a good reason to take a fresh look at a house's panel. A Level 2 charger usually needs its own 240-volt circuit. A standby generator needs a transfer switch, so it can never push power back onto the utility's lines while crews are working on them. Some panels have room for a new circuit and some don't. A load calculation shows whether your service can carry the new equipment as it is, or needs an upgrade first. ## What electrical repair covers - **Troubleshooting.** Tracing the problem to the circuit, device or connection at fault, with testing rather than guessing. You hear what was found before anything is replaced. - **Breakers and circuits.** Replacing worn breakers, sorting out circuits that carry more than they should, and adding a circuit when one outlet or appliance needs its own. - **Outlets, switches and fixtures.** Replacing dead, loose or scorched outlets and switches, repairing light fixtures, and adding GFCI or AFCI protection where it belongs. - **Partial power loss.** Finding why part of the house went dark: a tripped breaker, a GFCI outlet upstream, a failed connection, or a problem at the panel or meter base. When the cause is on the utility's side, we'll tell you so you can call them. - **New construction and renovations.** Electrical rough-in and trim-out for new homes, additions and remodels, on one schedule with the plumbing and HVAC work.

What happened? It may be a problem with one leg of the power coming into the house, at the meter, the main breaker or the utility's line. Call your electric utility first, since part of that equipment is theirs. If they find their side is fine, call or text us at (615) 426-9344. ### Why does the same breaker keep tripping? A breaker trips to protect the wiring. Repeated trips usually mean too much load on one circuit, a failing appliance, or a short or ground fault somewhere. Don't keep resetting it. Unplug what's on that circuit and let us find the cause. ### Do I need a permit for an EV charger in Spring Hill? Generally, yes. A Level 2 charger needs a dedicated circuit, and inside city limits the City of Spring Hill issues the electrical permit and sends its own inspector. ### Do you install Tesla Wall Connectors? Yes. We install the Tesla Wall Connector and other Level 2 home chargers, along with the new circuit each one needs. ### My lights flicker when the AC starts. Is that a problem? A quick dip when a big motor starts is common. Flickering that lasts, lights that get brighter as well as dimmer, or flickering across the whole house can mean a loose connection in the panel or at the meter. Check it soon, because heat builds at a loose connection. ### An outlet is warm, buzzing or smells like burning. What should I do? Stop using it. If you can reach the panel safely, turn off the breaker for that outlet. Then call (615) 426-9344. If you see smoke or flame, leave the house and call 911. ### Can you add outlets or circuits to a bonus room or garage? Yes. Adding circuits and outlets to a bonus room, garage or workshop is routine work, and inside Spring Hill's city limits it goes through the city's electrical permit and inspection. ## Related - [Plumbing Repair in Spring Hill](https://roothousemechanicals.com/service-areas/spring-hill-tn/plumbing-repair) - [Water Heaters in Spring Hill](https://roothousemechanicals.com/service-areas/spring-hill-tn/water-heaters) - [AC Repair in Spring Hill](https://roothousemechanicals.com/service-areas/spring-hill-tn/ac-repair) - [Heating Repair in Spring Hill](https://roothousemechanicals.com/service-areas/spring-hill-tn/heating-repair) - [Everything we do in Spring Hill, TN](https://roothousemechanicals.com/service-areas/spring-hill-tn)
