Your local choice for kitchen electrical upgrades in Dearborn, MI
Dearborn is in Wayne 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 kitchen electrical upgrades in Dearborn, the first step is often bringing those older systems up to date.
We provide kitchen electrical upgrades throughout Dearborn, including Dearborn Hills, East Dearborn, West Dearborn and Springwells Park.
What a modern kitchen needs electrically
A current-code kitchen typically has seven or more circuits. Countertops alone need two 20 amp circuits, and each fixed appliance gets its own. Switching from a gas range to induction means a new 240 volt circuit, often 40 or 50 amps. Many Dearborn kitchens built before the 1980s run on two or three circuits total, which is why upgrades so often begin at the panel.
