Q&A
My Franklin home is older and I'm worried about the wiring. What should I do?
For historic homes in Franklin, we highly recommend starting with a professional electrical inspection. This allows us to assess the condition of your aging wiring, identify any loose connections—a common issue here—and check your electrical panel's capacity. Based on the inspection, we can provide a clear plan for any necessary repairs, like wire repair or replacement, or a panel upgrade to ensure your home is safe and can handle modern electrical demands.
What are the signs of a loose electrical connection in my home?
Common signs in Franklin homes include flickering lights, outlets or switches that feel warm to the touch, burning smells from outlets, or circuit breakers that trip frequently. These issues can pose a fire risk. Our electricians can perform a thorough inspection to locate and secure these loose connections, often involving outlet repair, light fixture repair, or repairs within your electrical panel to restore safety and reliability.
I want to install an EV charger and a generator. Will my older electrical panel handle it?
Many older homes in Franklin require a panel upgrade to safely support high-demand additions like electric vehicle charging stations and generators. Our team will evaluate your current electric panel's capacity and condition. We often recommend electric panel installation or replacement to provide the necessary power and safety features for these modern conveniences, ensuring everything is installed to code and functions reliably for your family.
