About Us

For over 75 years, Sewell Electric & HVAC has been the name Williamson County trusts for HVAC, electrical, and appliance services. As a family-owned company, we take pride in delivering expert service with a personal touch.

Our History

Sewell Electric & HVAC was formed in 1945 by Robert E. Sewell (1915–1999) and his wife, Ruth Sewell of Franklin, Tennessee. During WW II, Sewell worked on the Oak Ridge National Laboratory doing the electrical wiring for many of the buildings. He said that, at the time, the project was so secret that none of the contractors really knew any details of what thery were building other than the fact that it was something big that would required  an enormous amount of electrical power.

A Legacy of Community

After the war, Sewells settled in Franklin on Jennings Street. They founded Sewell Electric Company in 1945 on Columbia Avenue in Franklin and they ran the business as a joint endeavor, Ruth working at the store beside her husband to make it a success. As the business grew they moved it to Fourth Avenue South.

In 1961, they formed WFLT, the first FM radio station in Williamson County. They also founded WIZO-AM and merged the two stations in 1968. On October 14, 1968, fire destroyed Sewell Electric. The store was rebuilt at 210 East Main St. in Franklin. In 1982, it was sold to long-time employees who continued to grow the company.

Quality Service Proven by Our Customers

Our Reputation Is Built on Your Satisfaction

Sewell Electric has become, for me, my go to first call for any problem me or our business has with an appliance, heating and air, or electrical need. If I have a problem within their scope of work, I call them first because I trust them and their work. I always receive prompt and professional service. You can count on them scheduling your work at earliest possible time and they are always on time for their appointments. They care about the quality of their employees and the service they provide as well as their customer and the problems they are hired to address.

Great crew to handle a tall chandelier install. I needed the fixture installed from a 20’ ceiling so they were sure to send a 2-person crew with a giant ladder. The guys were very easy to talk to and were prepared to handle a few small hiccups needed to make everything compatible. They even had the tool to cut hanging chain links and customize the length. Will definitely use Sewell in the future.

Bret and Andrew did an outstanding job with our HVAC. We had problems overnight just when the cold started and called them early in the AM, and they came a couple of hours later. The team was very professional, explained everything, and gave us several options on how to repair the system. Their prices were better than other quotes we got too. Very happy with their service.

I called Sewell to see if they had a part for an install on my oven. Even when it was clear that the part wasn’t going to be available and I wasn’t able to use them for this repair, they remained extremely helpful and took time to give me information that I needed to get some resolution. They seem to care that the customer gets the help they need, and I will definitely call them first in the future.

I highly recommend this company. They did both my AC work and some custom electric work. Pricing was very reasonable. I liked the fact they are locally owned. They were on time, friendly and offered some constructive and cost cutting ideas.

Bret and Sewell Electric saved the day at our house! Very responsive and the repair was top notch. Bret spent the extra time to make sure he knew what the problem was and didn’t leave until the unit was running better than before.

John H.

My experience with Sewell Electric exceeded expectations. Not only were their prices the best of several quotes I received, but the customer service was superior as well. I have already begun recommending them to friends and family and plan to use them for other projects in the future.

Bret and his team were incredible patient with us. We had a new heat pump/AC full unit installed and despite several challenges, they left us with a perfectly performing unit at the agreed upon quote. The team is highly responsive and and their attention to detail is appreciated.

Sewel Electric & HVAC just completed an HVAC installation for our office and community center. They had great communication, the best price and best overall value! Bret made the process easy, the installation went quick and everything was cleaned up when they were done! Highly recommended!
