Garage Electrical Installation for Sodus homes and businesses
Southwest Michigan is served by Indiana Michigan Power, Consumers Energy, Midwest Energy and Communications and several municipal utilities. Whichever one supplies your address in Sodus, we work with utility requirements regularly, which helps garage electrical installation in Berrien County stay on schedule.
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 Sodus properties we also plan around frost depth, driveways and septic fields.
