Your local choice for garage electrical installation in Erie, MI
Summer storms and winter ice both cause outages and surges across Southeast Michigan. Customers in Erie often call us after one of those events has exposed a weak point. Our electricians serving Monroe County approach garage electrical installation with reliability and protection in mind.
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 Erie properties we also plan around frost depth, driveways and septic fields.
