Who we are
A referral service, not a Wixom contractor
Moore Power Electrical does not do electrical work. We run a phone line that matches Wixom callers with independent electricians.
We are not linked to any Wixom, Novi or Oakland County company with "Moore" in its name. The electrician you speak with runs their own business.
That electrician quotes the job, does the work and handles any warranty. The referral costs you nothing.
- Describe the jobTell us what failed, your street or subdivision, and how soon you need help.
- Michigan licenseWe refer jobs to electricians licensed by the State of Michigan.
- Price in writingThe electrician sets the scope and price before starting.
Electrical repair
Electrical repair in Wixom: what is urgent and who to call
An electrical repair is urgent when there is heat, smoke, sparks or a smell of burning plastic. A panel that buzzes or feels warm is urgent too.
Call 911 first for fire or smoke. Report a downed line, a dark street or a damaged meter to DTE Energy.
For a fault inside the house or business, call (815) 456-4349 at any hour. We connect you with an electrician who takes urgent jobs in Wixom when one is available.
Sort the problem fast
- 911: flames, smoke, sparking or a person shocked.
- DTE Energy: wires down, the whole street dark, or the meter or mast pulled loose.
- An electrician: half the house dead, a breaker that trips again right away, a scorched outlet, lights that dim when the furnace starts.

Panel upgrades and panel repair in Wixom homes
A panel upgrade replaces the main breaker panel, and often the meter base and service cable, to give a home more capacity or safer breakers.
Wixom owners usually ask for one when adding central air, an EV charger, a hot tub or a finished basement. Older panels with no open spaces lead to the same call.
Panel repair covers smaller fixes: a failed breaker, a loose or burned lug, a damaged bus bar or water inside the panel.

License check
How to check a Michigan electrician's license
Michigan licenses electricians and electrical contractors through the Bureau of Construction Codes, part of the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA).
A license check takes a few minutes and should happen before anyone opens your panel.

- 3. Match the permitThe contractor on the City permit should match the license you checked.
Outages
DTE outages, ice storms and your wiring
DTE Energy supplies power in Wixom. Ice storms and summer wind storms in southeast Michigan bring down limbs and lines, and the damage often reaches the service mast on the house.
Some Wixom subdivisions with underground lines have also had repeated outages. In 2018, DTE said animals getting into equipment caused some of them near Loon Lake.
DTE fixes its own lines and meter. A bent mast, torn weatherhead or damaged meter base on the house is the owner's repair, done by a licensed electrician before DTE reconnects.
Before the next storm
- Use a transfer switch or approved interlock for any portable generator.
- Never back-feed a generator through a dryer or wall outlet.
- Add a surge protective device at the panel for restart surges.
- Keep a flashlight near the panel and label the circuits.
- After an outage, report street-wide problems to DTE and in-house faults to an electrician.
Cost factors
What changes the cost of electrical work in Wixom
The electrician you are referred to sets the price and puts it in writing. We do not quote or set prices.
These factors move the price of most Wixom jobs:
- Finished basementsDrywall ceilings make wire runs slower than open joists.
- Service sizeMoving to a larger service can mean a new meter base, mast and cable.
- Permit and inspectionsCity fees follow the Wixom construction permit fee schedule.
- TimingNight, weekend and storm calls usually cost more than booked visits.
