Universal Power and Electric | Trusted Electricians in Clinton Township, MI

Absolutely. Power surges are a common issue in our area and can quickly ruin expensive electronics and appliances. We can diagnose the cause of the surge, repair any damaged wiring or outlets, and highly recommend installing a whole-house surge protector. This device acts as a first line of defense, diverting dangerous voltage spikes away from your home's circuits to protect your valuable equipment.

This is a frequent problem we see in Clinton Township due to our freezing temperatures and moisture. Water can seep into outdoor outlets, freeze, and expand, cracking the housing and damaging internal components, leading to failure or a safety hazard. Our repair involves safely replacing the damaged outlet with a new, weatherproof (WR) and tamper-resistant (TR) model rated for outdoor use, ensuring it's properly sealed to prevent future freeze damage and keep your family safe.

Given our local weather, power outages from storms or grid issues can leave you in the dark and cold. A professionally installed standby generator by Universal Power and Electric automatically kicks in seconds after an outage, keeping your lights, heat, sump pump, and refrigerator running. This is crucial for preventing frozen pipes, food spoilage, and discomfort. We handle the entire process—from assessing your home's power needs and obtaining permits to installation and repair—ensuring safe, automatic backup power tailored for Michigan winters.
