Garage electrical installation in Wellston: local conditions matter

Wellston is part of Manistee County in Northern Michigan, an area of year-round homes, seasonal cottages and cabins tucked into the woods and along the lakes. Many of these places were built for summer use and later converted, so the wiring is often lighter than a full-time home needs. That is the background to most of the garage electrical installation we do in Wellston.

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