Garage electrical installation in Flint: local conditions matter
Plenty of homes around Flint were built in the 1950s through the 1970s with 100 amp services and far fewer circuits than a household uses today. When we carry out garage electrical installation in Genesee County, we make sure the existing system can support the work and tell you plainly if it cannot.
We provide garage electrical installation throughout Flint, including Grand Traverse District, East Village, Downtown, Carriage Town and Mott Park.
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 Flint properties we also plan around frost depth, driveways and septic fields.
