Garage electrical installation in Chatham: local conditions matter

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 Chatham, we plan garage electrical installation in Alger County so that the job is done properly in a single trip wherever possible.

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 Chatham properties we also plan around frost depth, driveways and septic fields.
