When a property changes hands or a buyer wants a clear picture before closing, an electrical inspection is one of the first things that comes up. We go through the panel, the branch circuits, the grounding and bonding, and the visible wiring throughout the home, recording what is there and noting anything that does not meet current standards. We handle that work for homes and rental properties across Macomb Township, and the findings are explained before any repair discussion begins.
For sellers, a pre-listing inspection removes the guesswork about what a buyer's inspector might flag. For landlords preparing a unit between tenants, it gives a clear account of what the electrical system looks like before the next occupancy. Either way, the inspection is a starting point, not a sales call. You get a straightforward account of what we found and what, if anything, needs attention.
Not every electrical job requires a full shutdown. Replacing an outlet, adding a switch, or running a new circuit from a panel with open slots can often be handled with a single breaker off and the rest of the house unaffected. A panel replacement, a service upgrade, or work at the service entrance is a different matter. Those jobs require the main supply to be interrupted, which means planning around whoever is in the building.
For a household where someone works from home, we talk through the scope on the call so the outage window is understood before the appointment is booked. For a business or a rental unit that needs to stay operational, we look at what can be staged and whether partial shutdowns handle the work in phases. The goal is to get the job done correctly without turning a necessary outage into an unplanned disruption. Every job gets treated like it matters, because it does.
A home that is not properly grounded or bonded is running a risk that is not visible until something goes wrong. Grounding gives fault current a safe path out of the system. Bonding ties metal components together so they stay at the same electrical potential. In older homes across Macomb County, both are common findings during an inspection, and both are correctable. We identify what is missing, explain what the correction involves, and complete the work to current code.
A ceiling fan installation sounds routine until the existing box turns out to be rated for a light fixture only, not for the weight and motion of a fan. We check the box before anything goes up, replace it with a rated fan brace if needed, and confirm the switch wiring handles the load correctly. Where there is no existing ceiling box at all, we run the switch leg and install the box before the fan goes up.
Exterior lighting tied to a motion sensor, a photocell, or a timer needs a circuit that is sized for the load and weatherproofed at every connection point. Security lighting at entry points and landscape fixtures along a walkway or driveway are both common requests, and both involve running a circuit from the panel to the fixture location with GFCI protection where code requires it. We handle the wiring from the panel out, not just the fixture swap.
Macomb Township's housing stock includes homes where knob-and-tube wiring is still in place, sometimes fully intact, sometimes partially updated by a previous owner in ways that created new problems. Knob-and-tube does not have a ground conductor, it is not rated for the loads modern households put on it, and many insurers will not write a policy on a home that still carries it. Replacing it means opening walls, running new cable, and updating the panel connections. We scope the job on the call and walk through what the work involves before anything is scheduled.
A kitchen remodel that adds an electric range or a laundry room that needs a dryer outlet both require a 240-volt dedicated circuit. These are not jobs that share a circuit with anything else. We run the circuit from the panel, install the correct outlet type, and confirm the panel has the capacity to carry the additional load before the work starts. If the panel is already at capacity, that conversation happens on the call, not after we arrive. To see how it all fits together, read our electrical service list.
Adding an EV charger, converting from gas to electric appliances, finishing a basement, or running a workshop off a detached garage all put new demands on a panel that was sized for a different era of electrical use. The first question is always whether the existing supply can carry it. That answer comes from a load calculation, which accounts for what the panel is already running and what the new circuit needs to add.
If the panel has open slots and enough headroom, the new circuit goes in without further work. If it does not, the options are a panel upgrade to a higher service rating, a subpanel in the space being served, or a combination of both. We work through that on the call, based on what you are adding and what the current system looks like. Electrical service scheduled without the runaround means you know what the job involves and what it will cost before anything is booked.
A whole-home surge protector is a natural addition when panel work is already on the schedule. It installs at the panel and covers every circuit in the house against voltage spikes from the utility line. With the number of sensitive electronics and appliances in a modern home, it is a straightforward upgrade that covers the whole system at once.
Appointments are arranged on the call, based on what the job involves and what the calendar allows. We are available every day from 8 AM to 11 PM, so you are not limited to business hours for a repair that cannot wait. When a problem is urgent, such as a burning smell from a panel, a breaker that will not hold, or an outlet that is sparking, we take those calls and move them forward as quickly as the schedule permits.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay open, we plan the work around what can be isolated and what has to be live. A single circuit can usually be taken down without affecting the rest of the building. Work that requires a full shutdown gets scheduled for a time that causes the least disruption, and the outage window is confirmed before the appointment is booked. You get a call before the visit to confirm what is available and what the scope covers. Nothing about the schedule is left open until we arrive.
The price for a job is based on what the job actually involves: what the fault turns out to be, what has to be opened up to reach it, and whether the existing circuit or panel can carry the change. We give you a rate on the call before anything is scheduled. If the scope changes once we are on-site, we explain why before the work continues.
Common questions about cost come up for panel upgrades, rewiring, and EV charger installation. We answer those based on the specifics of your home and what the job requires.

We serve Macomb Township and the communities throughout Macomb County, including Mount Clemens, Chesterfield Township, Clinton Township, Shelby Township, and Ray Township. If you are not sure whether your address falls within our service area, call and we will confirm it on the call.
Any outlet near water requires GFCI protection, a weatherproof cover rated for outdoor use, and in many cases a weatherproof-in-use cover that protects the outlet even when a cord is plugged in. The specific requirements depend on the proximity to water and what the outlet will be used for. We confirm the right configuration before the installation.
Macomb Township has a range of housing that spans several decades, and the work reflects that range. Knob-and-tube replacement, panel upgrades for homes that were never brought up to current service capacity, and dedicated circuits for added appliances are among the most common calls. Grounding and bonding corrections, GFCI and AFCI protection updates, and exterior lighting installations also come up regularly.
Call (947) 999-8795 and we will talk through what your property needs.
It depends on how much of the property is being rewired and how the work is staged. A single room or a defined section of a house can often be completed in a day. A larger partial rewire spread across multiple circuits and areas may take several visits. We give you a realistic picture of the timeline on the call before anything is scheduled.
If we find wiring or a previous installation that presents a safety concern, we stop and explain what we found before continuing. We do not work around an unsafe condition. The options for addressing it are explained clearly so you can decide how to proceed.
