Business electrical work we take on in Ypsilanti
Most calls from Ypsilanti businesses fit one of four jobs. Each starts with a walk through the space with whoever runs it.
Service and meters. A bigger service, a new meter for an added unit, or a meter wall rebuilt after storm damage. Our electric service upgrades in Ypsilanti page walks through the DTE side.
Panels and circuits. A tenant panel that is full, a subpanel for a back room, or new circuits for a cooler, an oven or a compressor. Start with panel upgrades for Ypsilanti buildings.
Lighting. LED retrofits in a sales floor or office, exit lights, wall packs and sign circuits.
Repairs. A breaker that trips under load, a dead outlet row or a warm disconnect. We make it safe, find the cause and quote the fix before we do it.
Depot Town and downtown storefronts
Ypsilanti's historic district is the second-largest contiguous historic district in Michigan. Many of its commercial blocks have a shop on the street and apartments above, and the wiring shows decades of tenant changes.
What we look for in an older storefront
We check the age and size of the service, how each unit is fed and what past tenants added on their own. Extension cords running a display case or a coffee machine usually mean the space has outgrown its circuits.
Shops below, apartments above
Each unit needs its own meter and disconnect, labeled to the right door. When a building shares one tired service, we lay out a fix you can phase in between leases.
Exterior changes
New signs, wall fixtures or a moved meter can change how a historic front looks. Ask the City of Ypsilanti whether your change needs historic district review before you order parts.
Township shops and buildings near Willow Run
Out in Ypsilanti Township, near Willow Run Airport and the Interstate 94 and U.S. 12 corridors, the buildings tend to be newer. Metal and block shops, flex units and small warehouses raise different questions than a downtown storefront.
Here the talk is usually about capacity. Can the service carry a new machine, a second bay or a heated addition? Do you need a feeder to a detached building? We add up what runs at once, then size the panel, the feeder and the disconnects to match. Exterior wall packs and yard lights round out most of these jobs.
Which office issues your commercial permit
An Ypsilanti mailing address can mean three different permit offices. Find the right one before the schedule is set.
City of Ypsilanti: the city Building Department takes a trade permit application for electrical work.
Charter Township of Ypsilanti: the township Building Department issues the permit and does rough and final electrical inspections.
Superior Township: the township has its own electrical permit application.
Some commercial jobs also need plan review. Confirm current requirements for your address with that office. Each one sets its own fees and timelines, so we do not guess at them in a quote.
Storms, planned shutdowns and backup power
The September 3, 2026 storm left about 7,486 DTE customers without power in ZIP 48198 and 2,876 in 48197. Poles and lines came down on Cross Street, Maple Street, North Adams and Emmet. A business near those streets lost more than lights.
When the meter or mast is damaged
If a storm pulls the service off your building, DTE handles its lines and you need an electrician for the meter base and mast. Call us; 24-hour emergency service is available.
Shutdowns we plan with you
A panel swap or a service change means the power goes off. We pick the time with you ahead of the work and tell you how long the building will be dark.
Standby power
We install and service Generac, Honeywell and Kohler standby generators with an automatic transfer switch. Our generator installation in Ypsilanti page explains local planning, and sizing for a business is done on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Ypsilanti mailing address does not settle it, since 48197 and 48198 addresses cover both the city and the township. Your property tax bill or a call to the city or township office will tell you. That answer decides who issues the permit.
Usually, yes. Each unit needs its own meter socket and disconnect, and DTE sets the meter. The job needs an electrical permit, and we check whether the main service can carry both units first.
Work inside the walls follows the normal electrical code. Changes you can see from the street, such as signs, wall fixtures or a moved meter, may need historic district review. Ask the City of Ypsilanti before you order parts.
Most circuit and lighting work happens while you stay open. We keep work areas contained and cover floors. Jobs that need the power off are scheduled with you in advance.
Yes. We install and service Generac, Honeywell and Kohler standby generators with an automatic transfer switch. The size depends on what the business must keep running, so we scope it at a site visit.
