Your local choice for garage electrical installation in Big Rapids, MI

From lakeshore cottages to homes and businesses further inland, properties near Big Rapids see wind, moisture and big temperature swings. Our electricians serving Mecosta County use fittings and devices rated for those conditions when carrying out garage electrical installation, particularly on exterior and garage work.

Wiring a detached garage or pole barn

Bringing power to a separate building means running a feeder underground, setting a sub panel with its own grounding electrodes and sizing everything for what the building will eventually hold. It pays to think ahead: a 60 or 100 amp feeder costs little more to install than a 30 amp one and saves digging a second trench later. For Big Rapids properties we also plan around frost depth, driveways and septic fields.
