Northern Michigan gets its power from Consumers Energy, from cooperatives such as Great Lakes Energy, Cherryland Electric and Presque Isle Electric and Gas, and from a few municipal utilities. Whichever one serves your address in Au Gres, we start basement electrical work in Arenac County the same way, with a look at the service, the panel and how the property is actually used through the seasons.
Planning basement wiring
Before framing is closed in, decide where the television, desk, bar and exercise equipment will go, because that sets the outlet and lighting plan. Basements also need thought about moisture. We keep sump and dehumidifier circuits separate, use GFCI protection where required and mount boxes clear of slab-level dampness. In Au Gres, finished basement work needs a permit and a rough-in inspection before walls are covered.
