Before you hire
Electrical emergencies: what to do now
If you see smoke or fire, get out and call 911. If an outlet sparks or smells hot, switch off that breaker. If a line is down outside, stay far away and call DTE. If the whole house is out, check whether neighbors have power first.
Emergency electricians handle burning outlets, tripping breakers that will not reset, storm damage to the service mast, and partial power loss. Requests sent at night go first to electricians who answer 24/7. See electrical repair.

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Electrical work in Michigan is done by a licensed electrical contractor, and most installs and upgrades need an electrical permit and inspection. A homeowner in a single-family home may pull a permit for their own work. Check the license on the LARA lookup. In Detroit, permits go through BSEED; service upgrades also need your utility, usually DTE, to reconnect power.
