Bloomfield Hills is a small, quiet town with a housing stock that tells the whole story on its own. The homes here are large, many of them built decades ago, and the electrical systems inside them have often grown in layers: original wiring from the build, additions from a renovation, circuits added by previous owners without documentation, and panels that were sized for a different era. Homeowners in a town like this call about aging panels, circuits that can no longer carry what the house demands, and wiring that has never been properly mapped. That is the work we do here.
Property managers and landlords with Bloomfield Hills rentals call for the same reasons, plus the ones that come up at turnover: outlets that stopped working, GFCI protection that needs updating, and safety inspections before a new tenancy starts. Whatever the situation, the process is the same. You call, we scope the job on the phone, and you get a price before anything is scheduled.
We are open every day from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and (248) 791-9979 is where it starts.
The jobs that come out of a town like this are not random. Large older homes on original or partially updated wiring, detached garages that were wired as an afterthought, and panels that have been asked to carry far more than they were designed for: these are the patterns. What follows covers the specific work we handle, described by the situation that leads to it rather than as a catalog.
A breaker that trips occasionally under normal use is not the same problem as one that trips every time a specific appliance runs. Finding the difference requires reading the circuit under load, checking connections at every point, and tracing back to where the fault actually lives. We do not reset and move on. We find the cause and explain it before anything is repaired.
A 100-amp panel was adequate when the house was built. It is not adequate when the house has a modern kitchen, an EV charger, electric heating loads, and a home office running simultaneously. A service upgrade to 200 amps involves replacing the panel, updating the service entrance where needed, and running a load calculation to confirm the new panel is properly sized for what the house carries now and what it is likely to carry next.
Older homes in this area were wired for simple on-off switches. Adding a smart switch or a dimmer to a circuit that was not designed for one requires checking what is already in the wall: the wiring configuration, whether a neutral is present, and whether the existing circuit is compatible with the device being installed. We confirm all of that before quoting the job.
Battery-operated detectors are common in older homes, but hardwired units with battery backup are more reliable and are required in specific locations under current code. We run the wiring, install the units, and interconnect them so that when one sounds, they all sound. For a large home with multiple floors and outbuildings, this is worth doing properly.
A panel with unlabeled breakers or labels that no longer match what is on the circuit is a real problem when a fault appears and nobody knows which breaker to pull. We trace every circuit, confirm what it feeds, and label the panel accurately. For homes where additions were made over time, this often turns up circuits that were never properly documented.
A whole-home surge protector installed at the panel intercepts voltage spikes before they reach any branch circuit in the house. For a home with significant appliances, electronics, and smart-home hardware, a single surge event can cause damage across multiple rooms at once. Panel-level protection is the most complete answer to that risk, and it is worth adding whenever the panel is already open for another job.
Subpanel installation, recessed and LED lighting retrofits, GFCI and AFCI protection upgrades, and exterior lighting work are all part of what we handle here as well. For the full list, the services page covers it in detail.
Scheduling starts on the phone. You describe the situation, we ask the questions needed to scope it accurately, and you get a price before anything is put on the calendar. There is no pressure and no commitment required to get a number. We are available every day from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Some faults need attention before a convenient appointment slot opens up. A burning smell at a panel, an outlet that is sparking, or a breaker that will not hold after being reset are all situations where waiting is the wrong call. When you describe something like that, we treat it accordingly. Ask about availability when you call and we will tell you what the nearest open slot looks like.
Rental properties in Bloomfield Hills are almost always occupied, and the work still has to get done. We confirm access requirements and scheduling details on the call, so the visit does not catch anyone off guard. For landlords managing a property remotely, that conversation happens before anything is booked. Calls are answered here, and the work gets scheduled properly.
Older homes with multiple owners often have circuits that were added by previous contractors, or by previous owners who handled their own wiring. Some of that work is fine. Some of it is not. The difference matters, and we do not treat every unlabeled junction box as a crisis.
What we look for is whether the existing work is safe and functional. A circuit that is wired correctly but never labeled is a documentation problem, not a safety problem. A circuit that was extended without proper grounding, or a panel connection that was made with the wrong gauge wire, is a different situation entirely. We explain what we find and what it means before recommending any corrective work.
The goal is to leave the system in a state that is safe and properly documented. If something needs to come out, we say so and explain why. If it can be brought up to standard with a targeted repair, that is what we quote. Whole-home rewiring is the right answer when the underlying wiring is genuinely past its useful life. It is not the right answer for every older home, and we do not treat it as one. We'll make your wiring safe again.
The price for any job is based on what the work actually involves. What the fault turns out to be, what has to be opened up to reach it, and whether the existing panel or circuit can carry the change are the things that move a quote up or down. A job that looks straightforward from the description sometimes turns out to involve more once the wall is open. When that happens, we explain it before continuing.
You get the price on the call, before anything is scheduled. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, is the standard for every job we take on. If the scope changes on site, that conversation happens before the additional work starts. You are never looking at a bill that covers work you did not agree to.

Describe the situation as clearly as you can, and we will tell you what it covers and what it costs.
Some electrical problems have a clear cause. A breaker trips when a specific appliance runs, and the circuit is overloaded. An outlet stops working, and the upstream GFCI has tripped. Those are straightforward.
The harder ones are intermittent. A breaker that trips occasionally but holds fine for days at a time. A light that flickers only when it rains. A circuit that fails under load but tests clean when the load is removed. These faults do not announce themselves, and they do not show up reliably on a standard outlet tester.
Finding an intermittent fault is its own job. It requires reading the circuit under conditions that reproduce the problem, checking connections that are not obviously loose, and sometimes tracing the wiring back through multiple junction points to find where the fault actually lives. We do not guess and we do not replace parts at random. The diagnosis is what makes the repair stick. We're ready to get your circuits working again.

The work is the same regardless of which town the property sits in. A panel upgrade in Bloomfield Township follows the same process as one in Bloomfield Hills. A fault-finding call in Birmingham gets the same diagnostic approach. If you are not sure whether your address falls within our area, call and we will confirm it on the spot.
We handle the full range of electrical work for every property type across Oakland County: repairs and troubleshooting, panel upgrades and subpanel installation, outlet and switch work, lighting inside and out, ceiling fans, wiring and rewiring, dedicated circuits, EV charger installation, generator hookups, surge protection, and safety inspections. We'll take care of the circuits from here.
Large older homes in this area tend to have panels that were sized for a fraction of the current electrical load, circuits that were added over time without full documentation, and wiring that has never been formally assessed. The most common calls involve panels that need to be upgraded, circuits that trip under load, and GFCI or AFCI protection that is missing where code now requires it. A safety inspection is often the right first step when a home has not had a formal electrical review in several years.
Yes. We serve Bloomfield Township, Birmingham, Beverly Hills, Bingham Farms, Sylvan Lake, and the surrounding communities throughout Oakland County. Call with your address if you want to confirm coverage before scheduling.
Intermittent faults are the hardest kind to pin down, and they are worth taking seriously rather than waiting for them to become consistent. Note when the fault happens, what was running at the time, and whether it is tied to a specific outlet, room, or condition such as rain or heavy appliance use. That detail helps us scope the diagnostic visit accurately and reproduce the fault under the right conditions.
The report covers the panel condition, the wiring types identified, the grounding and bonding status, the GFCI and AFCI protection present, and any visible concerns found during the inspection. Each finding is described clearly so the property owner or buyer understands what it means and what, if anything, needs to be addressed.
We answer when you call. We explain the work. We leave it safe.
