How installers are listed here

The only requirement to appear on this page is a checked state electrical license, confirmed against the state licensing board as part of our approval process, that's why every listing above shows "License checked." Installers are listed alphabetically by default, not ranked by quality, and no installer pays for placement in that order. LumoWatt does not sell ranking. If paid placement is introduced, it will be clearly labeled and will not change the standard list order. Use the sort dropdown above to re-order the list yourself by years in business or how recently we checked a listing. See our editorial policy and listing standards & verification methodology for the full details.

Outage risk in Tennessee

Tennessee sits inside what meteorologists call "Dixie Alley," a secondary tornado corridor identified by NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory researcher Harold Brooks and Northern Illinois University's Victor Gensini, whose 1979-2017 study found a statistically significant eastward shift in tornado frequency into Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and Kentucky, with Dixie Alley averaging roughly 115 tornadoes a year against a national state average of about 24. Winter ice storms are a separate, recurring outage driver: the January 2009 North American ice storm knocked out power to 1.3 million customers across Tennessee and neighboring states, Winter Storm Elliott in December 2022 forced the Tennessee Valley Authority's first-ever rolling blackouts and cost TVA and its customers an estimated $170 million, and Winter Storm Fern in January 2026 toppled more than two dozen TVA transmission lines and left over a million people without power. Middle and West Tennessee see the heaviest severe-thunderstorm and tornado exposure, while ice storms and TVA transmission damage have hit statewide, including East Tennessee.

How long does installation take in Franklin?
The installation itself typically takes 1-2 days once a permit is approved and equipment is on-site, that part doesn't vary much by location. The variable is permit review time: it depends on your local building department's current workload, not on the installer, and can range from about a week to well over a month.
