Can I get electrical inspections as a property owner?
The State of Tennessee allows a property owner to purchase one set of inspections per year as long as it is not commercial. Go to https://core.tn.gov- New Window for electrical permits. If you need help with State Electric & Building Permits, you may use an Issuing Agent: • Tracy (England) Fowler / 931-316-3955 (call or text) / tfowler2022@yahoo.com
Does it matter what brand of meter base I use?
No, it doesn’t matter as long as it’s UL listed and if it’s for an underground service it must have a stamped 3” knock out. It cannot be altered or the electrical inspector will fail the inspection due to tampering.
When will my new electric service be installed?
Once all member requirements are met, jobs are put in line for construction and are built in the order that they are received. Jobs can be delayed if there is bad weather or if the property is too wet for our equipment to operate efficiently.
