Your power company

Troy Utilities or South Alabama Electric Cooperative?

The City of Troy runs its own electric department as part of Troy Utilities. Most homes and businesses inside city limits buy power from the city.

Outside city limits, South Alabama Electric Cooperative provides electricity.

The utility owns the lines, the transformer and the meter. Your electrician works on everything on your side of the meter, such as the panel, wiring, outlets and fixtures.

Troy Utilities

301 Charles W. Meeks Ave., Troy, AL 36081.

Phone (334) 566-0177. The same number takes after-hours outage calls.

Panel replacements and service upgrades need the utility to disconnect and reconnect power. Your electrician schedules this.

Permits

Permits and inspections in Troy

Inside city limits, the City of Troy Building Department, part of License & Inspection, issues permits and runs inspections.

Building Department

City Hall, 301 Charles W. Meeks Ave.

Inspection requests

  • Ask the electrician whether your job needs a permit. New circuits, panel changes and additions often do.

  • Keep the permit number and final inspection record with your property papers.

Before work starts

How to check an electrician's license in Alabama

The Alabama Electrical Contractors Board licenses electrical contractors and journeyman electricians under Title 34, Chapter 36 of the Code of Alabama.

  1. 1. Ask for the license numberA licensed electrician gives it to you without fuss.
  2. 2. Search the licenseOpen aecb.alabama.gov and use the license search on the board site.
  3. 3. Check the datesConfirm the license is active and not past its renewal date.

Weather

Storms, heat and surges in Troy

Southeast Alabama gets severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings, mostly in spring and again in late fall. Wind brings limbs down on service drops, and lightning sends surges through wiring.

Summers are long, hot and humid. Air conditioners run for months, which puts steady load on breakers, outlets and outdoor disconnects.

A generator must connect through a transfer switch or an approved interlock. A generator plugged into a wall outlet can feed power back onto utility lines.

After a storm

  • Do not touch a service drop or mast pulled off the house.
  • Call the utility for damage on their side of the meter.
  • Have an electrician check a bent mast or loose meter base.
  • Test GFCI outlets and replace any that will not reset.
  • Ask about a surge protective device at the panel.

Homes and rentals

Older houses and student rentals

Troy has older houses near downtown and many rental homes and apartments near the Troy University campus.

Older homes may have two-prong outlets, few kitchen circuits and small panels. Rentals see heavy use from several tenants running appliances at once.

Landlords often call between leases to fix outlets, add GFCI protection and replace worn breakers.

Signs an older home needs a look

  • Two-prong outlets without a ground
  • Breakers that trip when the AC and microwave run together
  • Lights that dim when large appliances start
  • Outlets that feel loose or warm

Cost factors

What changes the price of electrical work in Troy

The electrician sets the price and shares it with you before work starts. We never set prices.

These factors change the cost of most Troy jobs:

  • AccessCrawlspaces, attics in summer heat and finished walls change labor time.
  • PermitsPermitted work adds city fees and inspection visits.
  • Utility workService changes need Troy Utilities or the cooperative to cut and restore power.
  • UrgencyNight, weekend and after-storm calls usually cost more.
