Buying a home
Home inspections in Collinsville: when you also need an electrician
A home inspector and an electrician do different jobs. A home inspector gives a general visual report on the whole house before a sale. An electrician tests circuits and repairs what is wrong.
When a home inspection report flags electrical items, a licensed electrician confirms the problem and quotes the fix. Buyers often use that quote in talks with the seller.
We do not do home inspections. We connect buyers and sellers with Alabama-licensed electricians for the electrical follow-up.
Electrical items reports often flag
- Two-prong outlets with no ground
- Missing GFCI protection in kitchens, baths and outdoors
- Double-tapped breakers or an unlabeled panel
- Open junction boxes or exposed splices in the attic or crawlspace
- Outdated or rusted panels
Older buildings
Wiring in older Collinsville homes and storefronts
Collinsville has a long history. Railroad building through the town began in 1852, and the Collinsville Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
A fire in 1900 destroyed nearly all of the downtown buildings, and downtown was rebuilt after it.
Older buildings often carry wiring that has been added to many times. Extra loads, old splices and ungrounded circuits are common findings.
- Mixed wiringOld and new wiring joined in the same circuit.
- Small panelsFew open spaces for new circuits.
- No groundTwo-wire circuits that need GFCI protection or new wire.
Permits and power
Permits and your power provider in Collinsville
Collinsville is a small town that spans two counties. Two offices are worth knowing before electrical work starts.
Collinsville Town Hall
39 Post Office Street, Collinsville, AL 35961.
Phone (256) 524-2135. Open Monday to Friday, 8 am to 4 pm.
Ask Town Hall whether your job needs a local permit before work starts.
Your electric provider
Power in DeKalb County comes from the Tennessee Valley Authority through local power companies. TVA lists Marshall-DeKalb Electric Cooperative, Cherokee Electric Cooperative and Sand Mountain Electric Cooperative among those serving the county.
Your power bill names your provider. Call that provider for outages and meter problems.
- Call your power provider for a downed line or a street-wide outage.
- Call an electrician for problems inside the building or at the panel.
- Meter and service changes need your provider to disconnect and reconnect power.
Licensing
How to check an electrician's license in Alabama
The Alabama Board of Electrical Contractors licenses electrical contractors and journeyman electricians across the state, including in DeKalb and Cherokee counties.
Checking takes a minute and protects you from unlicensed work.
- 1. Ask for the license numberLicensed electricians share it on request.
- 2. Search the board's siteLook up the number at aecb.alabama.gov.
- 3. Match the nameMake sure the license is active and matches the person or company.
Weather
Storms, heat and surges in northeast Alabama
Spring storms in northeast Alabama bring lightning, wind and outages. Summer heat keeps air conditioners and window units running for months.
Lightning and grid restarts send surges into home wiring. A surge protective device at the panel guards the whole house, not only the outlets with plug-in strips.
A portable generator must connect through a transfer switch or an approved interlock. Never plug a generator into a wall outlet: it can feed power back onto the lines.
After a storm
- Stay away from downed lines and report them to your provider.
- Keep the main breaker off if water reached the panel or outlets.
- Have an electrician check outlets or devices that failed after a surge.
Cost factors

- Building ageOld wiring, plaster and crawlspaces take longer to work in.
- TravelSmall towns may add drive time for the electrician.
- Utility workService changes need your power provider to schedule a disconnect.
- TimingUrgent and after-storm calls usually cost more than booked visits.
