SARASOTA, Fla., Sept. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- If you're hot,
clogged up or in the dark, the home services brands of Direct
Energy® can help. More customers across the United States are calling One Hour Heating
& Air Conditioning®, Benjamin Franklin
Plumbing® and Mister Sparky® electric than
ever before. That growth has led to new locations being opened and
to current locations expanding. Between January and August of 2016,
70 new franchise territories have been added. The three brands now
have more than 700 franchise territories across North America.
"Large home services companies are joining our brands because
they recognize there is power in numbers. We also have our longtime
franchise owners expanding and renewing their service areas. Our
advertising campaign with Mike Rowe

customers really sets us apart from the rest," said Mark Baker, President of Franchise.
