Your Garage Should Have Power Where You Use It

You realize your garage wiring is inadequate when you are running extension cords across the floor to reach a table saw or when the single overhead bulb leaves half the space in shadow. Many garages and detached shops in Butte were wired with minimal lighting and one or two outlets, and that setup does not work once you start using the space for projects, storage, or vehicle maintenance. Arc Electric Inc installs additional outlets, overhead and task lighting, and dedicated circuits for homeowners throughout Butte who need their garage or shop wired to match how they actually use it.

This service includes running new circuits from your main panel or subpanel, installing outlets at workbench height and along walls, and adding lighting that covers the full floor area. We handle wiring for detached structures, install circuits rated for larger tools, and add switches in locations that make sense for how you move through the space. The work eliminates the need for extension cords and provides enough light and power to use your garage safely and effectively.

If your garage or shop in Butte needs better lighting, more outlets, or circuits that can handle your equipment, reach out to discuss what installation involves.

We start by reviewing your current panel capacity and determining whether new circuits can be added or if a subpanel is needed. In Butte, many detached garages require underground or overhead wire runs from the main house, and we handle trenching or conduit installation as part of the service. Once power is extended, we install outlets along walls and near workbenches, mount overhead or track lighting, and connect dedicated circuits for equipment that draws high current.

After installation, you will notice that outlets are within reach wherever you work, lighting is bright and even across the space, and tools run without tripping breakers or causing voltage drops. Switches are placed near entry doors, and circuits are labeled clearly at the panel.

This service does not include structural work such as building workbenches or mounting shelving unless discussed separately. We coordinate underground utility locates when required and install wiring in conduit or armored cable depending on exposure and code requirements. Most garage electrical upgrades are completed in one to two days depending on the scope.

Homeowners in Butte often ask about how we run power to detached garages, what circuits they need, and how to plan outlet placement. These are the questions we hear most often during garage electrical consultations.

Arc Electric Inc works with homeowners across Butte who need their garages and workshops wired for real use. If you are tired of running extension cords or working in poor light, schedule residential electrical service with Arc Electric Inc to review your space and plan what makes sense.
