Electrical problems split into two categories: small annoyances (a dead outlet, a tripping breaker) and real safety issues (sparking, burning smells, shocks). Try the seven DIY steps below for the small stuff — and get out and call us immediately if you smell burning. $29 service call for diagnostic work; for straight installs like outlets and switches, our office can quote you over the phone for free.
“I chose Franklin because they are a local family owned business and I had had enough of the corporate upsell strategy foisted on me recently by one of the large corporate entities. Jesse did not try to sell me anything other than what I needed. If you need a very good master electrician call Franklin and ask them to send Jesse.”

Electrical problems can range from minor annoyances to major safety hazards. Before scheduling a service call, try these troubleshooting steps:
1. Check your circuit breakers. If your power is out in certain areas, it might be a tripped circuit breaker. Locate your panel and check if any breakers are in the “off” position.
2. Inspect your outlets. If an outlet isn’t working, it might be due to a tripped GFCI outlet. Check nearby outlets for a reset button. If the outlet is hot or sparking, turn off the power at the breaker and call a professional.
3. Test your light switches. If a switch isn’t working, it might be faulty. Turn off power at the breaker, remove the switch cover, and inspect the wiring.
4. Check your light bulbs. If a light isn’t working, it might be a burnt-out bulb. Replace it and see if that resolves the issue.
5. Inspect your appliances. If an appliance isn’t working, it might be a tripped GFCI outlet or a blown fuse.
6. Look for flickering lights. Flickering lights can be caused by loose bulbs, faulty wiring, or an overloaded circuit.
7. Check for exposed wires. Exposed wires are a serious safety hazard. Turn off the power at the breaker and call a professional immediately.

1. Outlet repair / installation. Dead, loose, or sparking outlets safely repaired or replaced.

I had a great experience with Franklin. Ayden Kubiak was professional, helpful, and made the entire process very easy. Highly recommend!
HVAC repair done quickly and at a great price. The service Fransisco Torres provided was more awesome than awesome ever thought about being! I'm extremely happy!
I have been using Franklin AC Plumbing and Electrical now for the last 10 years. Have had nothing but great service from them. I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Angel to figure out why my AC was providing warm air, not cool. Angel arrived next day, quickly and efficiently repaired the problem and was back up within 20 minutes. Thank you Franklin, and thank you Angel.
Micky and Steven came to my house for inspection. Very thorough, nice and professional!
From AC and furnace work to plumbing and electrical, our techs cover the whole home.
