Adams & McCoy Electric LLC is a locally owned residential electrical company serving homeowners across Davidson County. As owner‑operators, Alan McCoy and Chris Adams are on every job, making sure the work is done safely, neatly, and up to code.
We started this company with a simple goal: provide quality electrical work with clear communication and zero surprises. From small troubleshooting calls to EV charger installs, panel upgrades, and remodels, we treat every home like it’s our own.
Relationships matter to us more than one‑time jobs. We take the time to explain options, answer questions in plain language, and help you choose what’s right for your home and budget. Many of our customers call us back for future projects and refer us to family and neighbors.
When you hire Adams & McCoy Electric, you get licensed, insured electricians who show up when they say they will, protect your home while they work, and clean up before they leave. If you’re looking for a reliable residential electrician in Nashville, we’d be honored to earn your trust.

Most homeowners choose between Level 1 (standard 120‑volt outlet, slow) and Level 2 (240‑volt, much faster). Level 2 chargers typically add many more miles of range per hour and are the most common choice for daily home charging.
If you drive regularly, a Level 2 charger makes it easier to fully recharge overnight and avoid relying on public stations. Light drivers may manage with Level 1, but most EV owners prefer Level 2 for convenience and speed.
A GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlet continuously monitors current and quickly shuts off power if it detects a ground fault, helping prevent shock. They are typically required in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, garages, basements, and outdoor locations where water is present.
Not always, but if your panel is older, already full, or undersized for the added EV load, an upgrade may be recommended. A load calculation determines whether we can add a circuit as‑is or should upgrade for safety and future expansion.
Most straightforward installations take only a few hours once we are on site. If panel upgrades or trenching are needed, the project may take longer and can require coordination with inspections.
Most chargers go in a garage or carport for protection, but outdoor installations are also possible with weather‑rated equipment. We look for a spot that is close to the panel, convenient to park, and protected from damage where possible.
Many utilities and programs periodically offer rebates, tax credits, or special EV rates for home charging equipment. We encourage homeowners to check with their utility and government incentive pages before or during the project.
Yes. Many units are designed and rated for outdoor use when installed with proper weatherproof enclosures and fittings. We make sure the location and equipment meet code and manufacturer requirements for outdoor installations.
Panels typically last several decades, but they should be evaluated if they are older, full with no room for new circuits, show rust or heat damage, or are from known problematic brands. A licensed electrician can inspect and tell you if repair, expansion, or full replacement is the safest option.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency services for urgent electrical issues that need to be addressed immediately.
Not always, but if your panel is older, already full, or undersized for the added EV load, an upgrade may be recommended. A load calculation determines whether we can add a circuit as‑is or should upgrade for safety and future expansion.
We confirm your charging needs, inspect the panel and parking area, verify permits, then install and test the dedicated circuit and charger. Before we leave, we show you how everything works and review any maintenance or safety tips.
Most Level 2 chargers use standard connectors that work with many EV brands, and adapters are often available for others. We help you choose a unit that matches your vehicle’s connector type and charging capabilities.
Charging speed depends on the charger’s power rating and your vehicle’s onboard charger. Many Level 2 setups can add enough range for a typical day’s driving in just a few hours or overnight.
We offer a wide range of electrical services, including installation, repair, and maintenance of electrical systems for residential and commercial properties.
A Level 2 charger usually needs a dedicated 240‑volt circuit, similar to an electric dryer or oven, plus enough spare capacity in your panel. An electrician evaluates your panel size, existing loads, and wiring distance to confirm what can be safely installed.
Yes, we are a licensed and insured electrical contractor. Our team consists of highly trained and experienced electricians who are committed to providing quality services.
We strongly recommend you do not do your own electrical work beyond simple tasks like changing light bulbs. Even small mistakes with wiring, breakers, or outlets can cause shocks, fires, or code violations. It is safer and often cheaper long‑term to hire a licensed electrician to handle repairs and upgrades.
Call immediately if you notice burning smells, hot or discolored outlets, buzzing at the panel, repeated breaker trips, or partial power loss in parts of the home. These can indicate overheating, loose connections, or failing equipment that may lead to fire or shock.
A tripping breaker usually means the circuit is overloaded, shorted, or has a ground fault. While you can try unplugging some devices and resetting it once, repeated trips should be checked by an electrician to find and fix the root cause safely.
Start by checking your main panel for any tripped breakers and fully reset them (off, then on). If outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, or outside are out, press the reset button on any GFCI outlets in those areas. If that does not restore power, call an electrician.
Signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, warm outlets or switches, limited outlets, or using lots of power strips and extension cords. Older homes with original panels or wiring often need upgrades to safely handle modern appliances and EV chargers, hot tubs, or remodels.
Full rewiring is usually recommended for homes with very old wiring types, aluminum branch circuits, or repeated safety issues like hot outlets and frequent faults. Many homes only need partial rewiring or circuit additions in heavy‑use areas; we can evaluate and explain options clearly.
