Distances are long in the U.P. and so are the winters. Power here comes from utilities such as UPPCO, UMERC, Cloverland Electric and municipal systems like the Marquette Board of Light and Power, each with its own service requirements. Whoever supplies your address in Mohawk, we plan basement electrical work in Keweenaw County so that the job is done properly in a single trip wherever possible.
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 Mohawk, finished basement work needs a permit and a rough-in inspection before walls are covered.
