Garage Electrical Installation for Cheboygan homes and businesses

Cheboygan is part of Cheboygan County in Northern Michigan, an area of year-round homes, seasonal cottages and cabins tucked into the woods and along the lakes. Many of these places were built for summer use and later converted, so the wiring is often lighter than a full-time home needs. That is the background to most of the garage electrical installation we do in Cheboygan.

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