Learn MoreWe Know Clinton Township Homes.
Clinton Township grew during the auto industry boom, mostly between 1970 and 1995. That housing era has its own electrical signature: Federal Pacific panels, some aluminum branch wiring, aging service masts, and 100A service that wasn’t built for EVs and central air upgrades.
Typical Electrical Issues
The dominant housing eras here are 1970s ranch and split-level, then 1980s-90s colonials. Each era has its issues, but most of them come down to: panels installed before EVs were a thing.

Clinton Township Electrician Questions
How quickly can you get to a Clinton Township job?
Clinton Township is about 50 to 60 minutes from our Dearborn Heights office in normal traffic. Standard estimates scheduled within a few days. Emergency calls dispatched immediately, day or night, with response typically 60 to 70 minutes.
My home has a Federal Pacific panel. Does it need to be replaced?
Almost certainly yes. Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels have a documented history of failing to trip on overload, which means circuits can overheat and cause fires while the breaker stays in the “on” position. Most insurance companies flag these panels and many require replacement as a condition of coverage. See our panel upgrades page for details and cost ranges.
I have aluminum wiring. Is it dangerous?
Aluminum branch wiring (common in homes built 1965 to 1975) isn’t dangerous in itself, but the connections at outlets, switches, and the panel are. Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper, which loosens connections over time and creates heat. Solutions range from re-terminating with COPALUM crimps to full or partial rewiring. We assess and recommend honestly.
Can I install an EV charger on my 1970s home’s panel?
Sometimes, but usually a panel upgrade is needed first. Most 1970s Clinton Township homes are on 100A service, and a Level 2 EV charger pulls 30 to 50 amps continuous. Adding it to an already-loaded panel is risky. We assess your panel and total load, then estimate both options if needed. DTE Energy rebates often offset the panel upgrade cost.
Why are so many homeowners installing whole-home generators?
Macomb County has had several multi-day power outages from severe storms in recent years, and many homeowners decided once was enough. A standby generator with automatic transfer switch turns on within seconds of an outage and keeps the home (or critical circuits) running until power restores.
Do you pull permits with Macomb County?
Yes. We pull every Clinton Township electrical permit directly through Macomb County, coordinate inspection scheduling, and handle all the paperwork. No third-party expediters, no surprise fees. You don’t file anything yourself.
