Franklin Township Homes from Somerset to East Millstone
Franklin Township is home to about 68,000 people, in sections that include Somerset, Franklin Park, East Millstone and Middlebush. Electric heat, found in about 17 percent of occupied homes by Census estimates, usually means baseboard units or a heat pump. A heat pump that runs constantly without warming the house may need a refrigerant, airflow or defrost check. On heat pump and central air installs, we run the electrical side ourselves instead of hiring it out.
Franklin's sewage ends at the Middlesex County Utilities Authority, but when a drain backs up, the first job is closer to home: finding whether the blockage sits inside the house, in the lateral or out in the street main. For permitted work, the construction code office is in the Municipal Building at 475 DeMott Lane in Somerset.
