Your local choice for garage electrical installation in Prescott, MI
Up north, power can be out for a while when a storm rolls through. In Prescott and the rest of Ogemaw 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 Prescott properties we also plan around frost depth, driveways and septic fields.
