Lectro's tip
Before the visit, take a clear photo of your open panel and its label, so we know the brand, size and how full it is.
Electrical services in Ypsilanti
Ypsilanti housing and what it asks of your wiring
Ypsilanti mixes very different house ages in a small area. The year your home was built tells us a lot before we open the panel.
Older homes downtown and in Depot Town
The city's historic district is one of the largest in Michigan, and the city has about 9,236 housing units in all. Many of the older ones were wired for a handful of lights. Later owners added kitchens, window units and home offices on the same small service. In homes that age we look for screw-in fuses, ungrounded two-prong outlets and splices hidden behind plaster. That calls for testing and a priority list, not an automatic rewire.
Subdivisions across Ypsilanti Township
The township is much larger, with about 24,485 housing units, and a lot of them sit in subdivisions. Here the question is usually added load: central air, a hot tub, a finished basement or a charger in the garage. A load calculation shows whether the panel you have can take it.
Acreage in Superior Township
Superior runs at roughly 421 people per square mile and takes in Dixboro and the homes near Frains Lake. Bigger lots mean longer runs. Feeding a pole barn, a detached garage or a workshop can need a subpanel, a trench or a second service.
Which office issues your electrical permit
Three local governments share the Ypsilanti mailing address, and each one runs its own permits. Your property tax bill names the one that covers your lot.
Where the property sits | Who handles the electrical permit |
|---|---|
City of Ypsilanti | City Building Department, using its 2026 Trade Permit Application |
Charter Township of Ypsilanti | Township Building Department, with a rough inspection while walls are open and a final at the end |
Superior Township | The township's own electrical permit application |
Panel swaps, service upgrades, new circuits and EV chargers usually need a permit. We file it and meet the inspector. If a change shows on the outside of a historic district house, such as a moved meter or new porch lights, ask the city about review first. Offices update their forms, so confirm current requirements for your address.

Storm damage, DTE and the service on your house
DTE Energy supplies electricity across Ypsilanti. When a limb pulls the line off a house, part of the repair falls to the utility and part falls to an electrician. The mast, weatherhead and meter base on your wall are usually the owner's equipment. DTE generally needs them fixed and inspected before it reconnects the drop.
When storms hit Ypsilanti streets
The September 3, 2026 storm left thousands of customers without power in 48197 and 48198. Poles and lines came down on Cross Street, Maple Street, North Adams and Emmet. Damage like that can bend a mast or tear a meter base loose. Stay away from any downed wire, call DTE first, then call us at (734) 697-8477. 24-hour emergency service available.
Fewer outages, not zero
DTE reports that outage time in Ypsilanti dropped 54 percent last year, and it plans more than 100 miles of tree trimming. If even one long outage would flood your basement, our standby generator installs in Ypsilanti cover backup power.
Rentals, storefronts and multi-unit buildings
If you own a rental near Eastern Michigan University or a storefront downtown or in Depot Town, the wiring has to serve tenants and pass inspection. We handle separate meters for each unit, new circuits for a tenant build-out, exit and exterior lighting, and service upgrades for a growing business.
Older buildings that were split into apartments often share one undersized service. We look at how the units are fed now and quote the work in writing, so you can plan it between leases.
How an Ypsilanti electrical job runs
Call or send the form. Give us the address and a short description of the job.
Site visit. We open the panel, check the service and ask what you plan to add in the next few years.
Written estimate. The quote is free, every line is spelled out, and financing is available.
Permit. We file with the city or township that covers the property.
The work. Floors get covered, dust stays in the work area and we clean up before we leave.
Inspection and walkthrough. Once the inspector signs off, we show you what changed and label the panel.
Thinking about a generator as well? A transfer switch needs a panel that can take it, so on older Ypsilanti houses we often quote both together. For every service in one place, see our full list of electrical services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Look at your property tax bill or assessment notice, which names the government that taxes the lot. An Ypsilanti mailing address can belong to the city, the township or Superior Township. We confirm it before we file a permit.
Yes. Most of the work happens inside the walls and at the panel, so the outside of the house stays the same. If a change would show from the street, like a moved meter or new exterior lights, check with the City of Ypsilanti about review before the plan is final.
Sometimes. A load calculation shows how much capacity the service really has. If it falls short, the fix may be a new panel, a 200 amp service upgrade or a load management device, and we explain the options in the written quote.
Stay clear of the wire and call DTE first. The mast and meter base on your house are usually the owner's to repair, and DTE generally reconnects after that work passes inspection. Call us at (734) 697-8477 for the repair. 24-hour emergency service available.
No. We install and service Generac, Honeywell and Kohler home standby generators, but we also do panels, service upgrades, lighting, EV chargers, surge protection, repairs, and residential and commercial wiring in Ypsilanti.
Office hours are Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm, and that is when we book quote visits. 24-hour emergency service available. Call (734) 697-8477.
