Basement Electrical for South Lyon homes and businesses
Metro Detroit homes work their electrical systems hard, and more so every year as EV chargers, central air and home offices are added. In South Lyon and across Oakland County, we check the capacity of the panel and service before we begin basement electrical work, so that nothing new is hung on a system that is already full.
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 South Lyon, finished basement work needs a permit and a rough-in inspection before walls are covered.
