Lighting Installation & Upgrade in Frankfort, KY — done by a family-owned electrical contractor that has worked on Frankfort homes since 1999. ABC Electric Inc. has completed thousands of residential electrical projects across Franklin County, and lighting installation & upgrade is one of our most-requested services. Whether your Frankfort home is a historic property near Kentucky State Capitol or a newer build in Downtown Frankfort, we have the experience to do this work right.
Frankfort homes share certain electrical realities — many are older properties that may have outdated wiring, undersized panels, or systems that were not designed for modern electrical loads. Others are newer builds where the electrical was done well but is now showing its age or no longer fits the homeowner's expanding needs. We see both ends of this spectrum daily across Frankfort and the broader Franklin County area, and we approach every job with the appropriate plan.
