"The Electrician was very good, didn't install the replacement fan as he indicated that the ceiling in my guest bath would need to come down (a portion of it anyway) and he didn't think the new fan would make a difference in the noise. Said that bathrooms on the 1st level/main level of multi story homes are often noisy due to poor installation and some other issues.
He did fix a plug - and review the electrical panel.

"Kevin showed up right on time. Within thirty minutes he had inspected my electrical system, fixed the immediate problem, and given me an estimate for what things needed to be upgraded to meet current code standards and the cost of doing so. He was courteous and knowledgeable and I was comfortable with the improvements he suggested. I haven't gotten any other quotes on the upgrades yet, but I'm confident his quote is competitive."

"Very happy with my experience with Mr. Electric. I have used them to put in my whole house generator. They were great. Sam Stone is awesome. He showed up on time and upgraded our panel box. I found him to be very professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this company and Sam Stone for all electrical services"

"Andrew came to our house between Ann Arbor and Plymouth at 8 PM on Tuesday when a storm caused an electrical outage. We had a generator but we're only getting partial power in the house. Andrew ran tests inside the house, determining that not enough power was coming into the house. He then started testing different areas of the generator until he found the part not working. Once he located the problem, he quickly fixed it. Because he didn't give up on me or my problem, he restored electricity, saving me hundreds from food spoilage in a refrigerator and freezer. I don't think most electricians would have stuck with the problem or been able or willing to fix the generator. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would."

"Lenny was extremely responsive and knowledgable. Very easy to work with. Given a phone call and a few pictures, he completely understood what had to be done (better than I) and priced out the job. He replaced my 40-year old, fuse-based panel with a 100-amp circuit breaker panel, an interlock switch and inlet box for my portable generator. He also consolidated all the circuits from my two existing panels into a single panel. Work was neat and well done. Designed Electric finished the work in a single day. I only waited a week from time of estimate until the panel was installed, The price was outstanding (compared to other bids). Totally satisfied."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Farmington Hills, MI

Yes, a licensed electrician is essential for this project. Running an electrical service from the road to your house involves connecting to utility power lines, complying with national and local electrical codes, and safely handling high-voltage systems. 

Licensed professionals understand proper wire sizing, grounding requirements, and voltage drop calculations needed for safe installation. Most jurisdictions require permits and inspections that only certified professionals can obtain. The safety risks and potential for property damage make this project inappropriate for DIY attempts.

Overhead installations are less expensive than underground options. For a 1000-foot run, overhead service costs between $8,000 and $15,000, while underground service ranges from $10,000 to $25,000. 

Overhead lines require less labor and fewer materials since they don't need trenching or conduit. However, underground lines offer better protection from weather events and aesthetic benefits. Your decision should balance your budget constraints with long-term reliability and visual preferences.

You might need to upgrade your electrical panel depending on your power requirements. If your existing panel cannot handle the additional load from the extended service, upgrading to a 200-amp service (costing $750 to $2,000) may be necessary. 

A licensed electrician can evaluate your current system and determine if an upgrade is required. Factors include what you'll be powering at the end of the line, existing electrical demand, and whether voltage drop over the distance will affect performance.

Running electric service from the road to a house requires electrical permits from your local building department, costing between $500 and $2,000 depending on your location. You may also need excavation permits for trenching work if installing an underground service. Your utility company will have its own application process for connecting to its grid. A licensed electrical contractor can handle all the necessary permit applications as part of their service, ensuring your installation meets all local code requirements.
