Your local choice for garage electrical installation in Galien, MI

Galien is in Berrien County in Southwest Michigan, a region of older city neighborhoods, lake cottages, orchards and farms. Lake-effect snow in winter and thunderstorms in summer both test electrical systems here. When we handle garage electrical installation in Galien, we look at the age of the wiring first, because it varies enormously from one street to the next.

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