"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."

"I recently hired AAB Electric for some electrical work, and I am extremely pleased with the results. They installed recessed lights and ceiling fans in my home, and the entire process went smoothly. The team was timely, arriving right on schedule, and very friendly, making the experience even better. The installation was done to my complete satisfaction, and everything looks and works perfectly. I will definitely be using their services again in the future and highly recommend them for any electrical work."

"Justin and team redid all the electric in a remodel. They installed everything electric including my DYI lights. They were very fun to work with, extremely personable and wanting to make customers happy. No complaints when we ask to do more work then contracted for and did not over charge for work. Highly recommend, great team of people and competitive pricing!!"

"A ceiling light fixture in my sewing room wouldn?t light. The problem Curt found was an incorrect wiring job. After wiring it correctly he also checked the main panel and tightened all the connections. He was very patient in answering my questions.
I can now see what I am sewing and feel assured the job was done correctly! If we need more electric work done in the future I will certainly call Curt at Phase 2 Electric.

"I had a fluorescent ceiling lamp that was malfunctioning. I had purchased a new one but was neither accomplished or confident that I could replace it. The gentleman that Essential Electric sent out was able to diagnose the problem and replace the light quickly. I will contact them in the future with any electrical work I need done."

"They were so professional. Immediately contacted me and came out the next day to give a quote. Came back on date scheduled, even showed up early and worked the entire day until the project was finished. They accomplished so much, cleaned up after themselves and everything works great and looks great. Would definitely recommend this company for electrical work!"

"They showed up when they said they would (even though it turned out to be very cold), got things set up and went to work. Although the initial estimate of time to completion was optimistic, I could see they were working ALL the time and doing excellent work. The new roof looks excellent and with the new siding, my house looks like brand new!

I would recommend them to anyone, their price was in-line with a number of other quotes and they do EXCELLENT work."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Merrill, 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.
