Outages

A correctly connected generator keeps essentials running during outages.

Homes where the valley meets the mountain

Valley Head sits where Lookout Mountain's slopes meet the valley floor, and homes range from older in-town houses to places tucked along mountain roads. Older houses may have original wiring with few grounded outlets; hillside homes may have long runs to detached garages or wells.

An electrical inspection gives you a clear list: what's a safety priority now, what can wait, and what to plan for if you're adding a heat pump, shop or generator.

Two-prong outlets and three-prong plugs

Adapters that let a three-prong plug fit a two-prong outlet don't create a ground. For computers, TVs and appliances, options include running a ground wire, rewiring the circuit, or installing GFCI protection with the proper “No Equipment Ground” label. An electrician can explain which fits each room.
