Outlet Installation for Traverse City homes and businesses
Up north, power can be out for a while when a storm rolls through. In Traverse City and the rest of Grand Traverse 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 outlet installation, and we are happy to talk about backup power while we are there.
We provide outlet installation throughout Traverse City, including Downtown, Old Town, Slabtown, the Central Neighborhood and Boardman.
Where GFCI outlets are required
A GFCI outlet shuts off power in a fraction of a second when it senses current leaking to ground, which is what happens when electricity passes through a person. Code calls for GFCI protection anywhere water and electricity can meet: kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, garages, unfinished basements and outdoors. Many older homes in Traverse City have none. Adding it is one of the least expensive safety upgrades available.

Traverse City outlet installation FAQ
How much does it cost to add an outlet in Traverse City?
It depends on access and the circuit. We can usually quote a firm price over the phone once we know the room and wall type.
Can you add an outlet without cutting up the wall?
In most cases, yes. We fish cable from a nearby outlet, the basement or the attic and cut only the opening for the new box.
Why does my GFCI outlet keep tripping?
It may be protecting a faulty appliance, damp wiring or a worn device downstream. We test the circuit to find out which.
Can you install outlets outdoors or in a garage in Traverse City?
Yes, with weather-resistant, GFCI-protected devices rated for the location.
