Garage electrical installation in Madison Heights: local conditions matter

Madison Heights is in Oakland County in Southeast Michigan, where a large share of the housing was built between the 1920s and the 1970s. That means plenty of 60 and 100 amp services, fuse boxes, ungrounded outlets and, in some neighborhoods, knob and tube or aluminum wiring. When we take on garage electrical installation in Madison Heights, the first step is often bringing those older systems up to date.

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