Detroit’s Electrical Needs
Are Unlike Anywhere Else.

Detroit Homes Need an Electrician
Who Knows the City.
Detroit’s residential housing stock is one of the most varied in Michigan. Older neighborhoods like East English Village, Sherwood Forest, and Grandmont-Rosedale are full of beautiful homes built between the 1920s and 1960s: and nearly all of them have electrical systems that are decades overdue for an update.
Common issues IB Electric sees in Detroit homes include 60A and 100A panels that are undersized for today’s loads, aluminum branch wiring installed in the 1960s and 70s that poses a fire risk at outlet connections, ungrounded two-prong outlets throughout the home, and knob-and-tube wiring in older sections that hasn’t been touched in 50 years.
IB Electric provides complete residential electrical services throughout Detroit: from panel upgrades and rewiring to outlet installation, ceiling fans, EV charger hookups, and whole-home surge protection. All work is properly permitted through the City of Detroit and inspected to Michigan electrical code.
