Your local choice for garage electrical installation in Omena, MI
Up north, power can be out for a while when a storm rolls through. In Omena and the rest of Leelanau County, wells, septic pumps and furnaces all depend on electricity, so reliability matters more than it does in town. We keep that in mind whenever we take on garage electrical installation, and we are happy to talk about backup power while we are there.
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 Omena properties we also plan around frost depth, driveways and septic fields.
