Electrical Service Calls

When electrical issues occur, it can be frustrating and even prevent you from accomplishing necessary tasks. While some home projects may be fixable with DIY techniques, it is best to leave electrical work to the professionals. Whether you are dealing with a broken light switch, need to replace a lighting fixture, have a fried outlet, or more, our team at Wolverine Electrical can help. To begin, we will provide an expert evaluation and estimate for prompt and reliable services. Our highly qualified team of electricians in the Michiana area also know what to look for to investigate electrical smells and provide assistance for potential hazards.

Tips for New Appliance Installation

Many people give us a call when they need help installing a major electrical appliance such as a double-wide refrigerator, central air-conditioning system, electrical fireplace, and more. One thing that we always recommend our clients look into is the possibility of additional power for this new appliance.

Some installers or salespeople may tell you that your system can manage the load, but you will want to seek the professional advice of an electrician to check out your circuitry to ensure you don’t experience a tripped breaker. Some rooms such as family rooms and home offices often need more outlets, more circuits, and more power-surge protection. Outlets that are located in bathrooms, kitchens, and garages may also require ground-fault circuit interrupters.

In order to ensure that your new applicant is installed properly and safely, contact our trained electricians at Wolverine Electrical today. We’re specialists in the service and installation of electrical systems and have a comprehensive knowledge of new technologies, as well as systems that have been installed for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to know before calling an electrician?

Before calling an electrician it is always a good idea to know the scope you want completed as well as the time frame you're looking to complete the work.

When is it time to call an electrician?

When you're having issues with any electrical item or a safety hazard exists.

What are some reasons I might need to upgrade my electrical panel?

If a large load is being added to the service such as a hot tub, or car charger.

Why should I get a surge protector?

To protect sensitive electronics.

Do you handle both residential and commercial electrical issues?

Yes, we service both residential and commercial properties. Whether it’s a small repair in your home or a larger issue in a business setting, we have the experience and equipment to handle it.

What types of electrical issues require a professional service call?

Any situation involving power loss, flickering lights, tripped breakers that won’t reset, burning smells, outlets that spark, or damaged wiring should be handled by a licensed electrician. Attempting DIY fixes on electrical systems can be unsafe.

What information should I gather before calling for electrical service?

It helps to know the type of problem you’re experiencing, when it started, and if it affects one area or the entire property. Also note any unusual sounds, smells, or visible damage. Having your electrical panel accessible is also helpful.

Do you provide an estimate before starting the work?

Yes. In most cases, we can provide upfront pricing once we’ve assessed the situation. For more complex issues, we’ll explain the options and costs before proceeding with repairs.

Can you help with the installation of major appliances like refrigerators or fireplaces?

Absolutely. We can install dedicated circuits for large appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, ovens, ranges, washers/dryers, hot tubs, or electric fireplaces to ensure they operate safely and efficiently.

What should I do if I smell something unusual coming from an outlet?

Turn off power to the affected area immediately at your electrical panel and call us right away. A burning or unusual smell from an outlet may indicate overheating or damaged wiring, which can be a fire hazard.

How do I know if I need a new circuit for my new appliance?

If the manufacturer recommends a dedicated circuit, or if your current panel is already at capacity, you’ll likely need one. We can evaluate your electrical system and advise whether a new circuit is required for safe operation.

Can you repair storm damage to electrical systems?

Can you repair storm damage to electrical systems?

What should I expect in terms of process and timeline for a standard service call?

Most service calls take 1–2 hours. Our technician will arrive within a scheduled time window, diagnose the issue, explain your options, and complete the repair if possible during the visit. For larger or more complex issues, a follow-up may be required.
