    Downtown South Lyon is famous for its historic beauty and the annual Pumpkinfest. If you live in one of the city’s older homes, your electrical system may be a relic of the past.


    • Safety Audits for Older Homes: We identify potential hazards like outdated cloth wiring or ungrounded outlets that are common in historic South Lyon residences.
    • Modern Panel Conversions: Swapping out old Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels—often found in mid-century South Lyon homes—for safe, modern Siemens or Square D systems.
