This map shows a 50-mile radius heat map centered on Knoxville, TN. The colored rings represent incremental distance bands radiating outward from the base location. As the distance from Knoxville increases, so does the project cost impact for electrical work — largely due to travel time, fuel, and crew logistics.
Inner rings (green/yellow) — within ~10–20 miles: minimal travel cost, considered local service area.
Mid rings (orange) — ~20–35 miles: moderate additional cost due to longer drive times and crew expenses.
Outer rings (red) — ~35–50 miles: highest travel costs, often requiring premium pricing to cover distance, time, and resource allocation.
The heat effect visually emphasizes how distance influences pricing: closer jobs fall in cooler colors with lower travel cost impact, while farther jobs fall in warmer colors with higher travel cost impact.
