Service area · Johnson City, TN
If you need an electrician in Johnson City, TN, GPM Electrical is a residential electrician based in Greeneville, about 57 minutes away. We are not a Johnson City shop, and we will not pretend to be. We are a small, family-run electrical business that takes panel upgrades, mobile home hookups, and repairs in Johnson City and the surrounding area, and we tell you up front how the drive affects scheduling.
Our base is in Greeneville, and the drive to Johnson City is about 36.9 miles on US-11E, roughly an hour with usual traffic. That distance shapes how we work here. We take Johnson City jobs that are worth the trip for you: panel replacements, hookups, repairs that are not one-room fixes, and projects we can schedule in advance. When you call, we ask for photos and details so the first visit can solve the problem instead of just diagnosing it.
Johnson City is the largest city in our area, with about 71,046 people in the 2020 Census, and it reaches across Washington, Carter, and Sullivan counties. If you are not sure which county your address is in, that is fine. We will sort it out on the call, because it can matter for permits.
For a true emergency, call anyway. We will tell you honestly how soon we can get there and whether another option would reach you faster.
Johnson City has newer subdivisions and many older houses, and older houses are more likely to have fuse boxes, crowded panels, or breakers that have been in service for decades. If your panel is warm, rusted, buzzing, or out of space, or you are adding a big load, a panel upgrade is often the real fix. We replace the panel, reconnect and label every circuit, and test the work before we leave.
Read more on our electrical panel upgrade page, or see our guide on signs you need a panel upgrade.
Plenty of homes in the counties around Johnson City are manufactured homes, and a new one needs power run to it before anyone can move in. If you are setting a home on a lot outside the city, our mobile home electrical hookup page explains what a hookup involves. We tell you on the phone which parts of the job we handle for your setup.
Johnson City runs its own electrical permits through its permit office for work inside city limits, rather than through the state program. That means the city, not the state, decides what permit your job needs and sends an inspector. Before we schedule work inside the city, we confirm what applies to your address so you know what to expect. A home outside the city limits can fall under different rules, so we check the address first.
The five-star Google reviews on our profile come from customers in and around Greeneville. We have not posted Johnson City projects yet. As we complete jobs here, we will add them to this page with the town, the problem, and what we did. Until then, you can read what our Greeneville-area customers say.
