Why Customers Call Us
Why Choose Switched Up Electrical as Your Franklin NC Electrician
Hiring a licensed electrician in Franklin comes down to trust: will the work be safe, will someone explain it, and will they answer when it matters. Switched Up Electrical builds every job around those three questions.
- Safety first: work done to the North Carolina electrical code, with permits and inspections where the job requires them.
- Clear communication: what is wrong, what the fix involves and what it costs, explained before work begins.
- Responsiveness: weekday hours from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM and emergency service around the clock.
- Quality workmanship: connections and panels built to last, never a quick patch.
- Ongoing training: current with modern electrical practices, from EV chargers to code updates.
- Experience: several years of residential and commercial work across Western North Carolina.
Those habits matter most on the parts nobody sees once the drywall goes back up. Careful work inside a wall or a panel is what keeps a home or business safe for decades.
Electrical Work Built for Mountain Homes and Local Businesses
Working as an electrician in Franklin, NC means seeing houses of every age and style, and the wiring often tells their history. Many older homes still run on fuse boxes or small panels that were never meant to carry heat pumps, modern kitchens and an electric car at the same time. An electrical panel upgrade or house rewiring gives them the capacity they need today.
Cabins and second homes bring their own needs. They can sit empty for weeks, often have long runs to outbuildings, workshops and well houses, and benefit from regular electrical inspections that catch a small problem before it becomes an expensive one.
Local businesses need power they can count on every day. Retail shops, offices and metal buildings rely on commercial electrical services for dedicated circuits, bright and efficient lighting, and panels sized for the equipment they run.

Most jobs follow the same four steps, whether it is one new outlet or a whole house rewire. The size of the job changes how long each step takes, never how carefully it is done.

Towns We Serve From Franklin to Murphy
Franklin and Otto are home, and the work reaches up to Highlands and Cashiers on the plateau, over to Sylva and Bryson City, north to Waynesville and Canton, and west to Murphy, Andrews, Hayesville and Robbinsville. Mountain roads make for long drives, and we plan every visit so the trip is worth it.

Electrical Permits and Inspections in Macon County
North Carolina requires electrical contracting to be done by a licensed contractor, and most new circuits, panel changes and rewiring need a permit and an inspection. In much of Macon County, the county's planning and building inspections office in Franklin issues those permits and sends the inspector.
When you hire an electrician in Franklin, NC for a job that needs a permit, we arrange it and schedule the inspection, so you do not have to work out the paperwork yourself. A passed inspection is a record that the work meets code, which matters to your insurer and to a future buyer.
Permits also protect you from shortcuts. Unpermitted wiring can surface during a home sale or an insurance claim, and fixing it later usually costs more than doing it right the first time. Asking for a permitted job from the start is the simplest way to avoid that.
