Wiring Built Around the Way You Live

The electrical needs of a modern home can look very different from what the original electrical system was designed to support.

EV chargers, larger appliances, finished basements, home offices, workshops, hot tubs, HVAC equipment and modern electronics can all add electrical demand.

Sometimes that means adding a single dedicated circuit. Sometimes it means replacing an electrical panel or increasing the home’s electrical service.

Drost Electric helps homeowners understand what their project requires and provides electrical work designed around both the current home and future plans.

Residential Service Line Upgrade

“Drost Electric recently did a service line upgrade on my house. He made all the appointments with the city and inspectors and I didn’t have to lift a finger. I found he was extremely helpful during the time he was in and out of my house. He also cleaned up after himself and was efficient at his job. We have more electrical projects coming up and will be using Drost Electric moving forward!”

Home EV Charger Installation in West Michigan

An electric vehicle can become one of the largest new electrical loads in your home.

Drost Electric installs residential EV charging circuits and can evaluate whether your electrical panel and service have enough capacity for the charger you plan to install.

Level 2 charging generally uses a dedicated 240-volt circuit. The circuit size depends on the specific charging equipment and the electrical system already serving your home.

We can help with installations in attached garages, detached garages and other appropriate residential charging locations.
