Services
Generator Installation
We specialize in professional generator sales, permitting, installation, and maintenance services for residential and commercial properties. Our certified technicians handle all aspects from site assessment to final testing. By partnering with top brands like Generac and Briggs & Stratton, we ensure reliable backup power solutions that activate automatically during outages. Our installations include remote monitoring capabilities and permanent fuel connections for uninterrupted operation.
Whole House Surge Protection
Our comprehensive surge protection systems defend against voltage spikes that could damage sensitive electronics and appliances. Certified electricians install whole-house protection devices at main electrical panels to prevent costly damage from power surges. We use UL-listed components that meet or exceed current electrical codes, protecting homes and businesses against surges from lightning strikes and grid fluctuations.
Electrical Code Upgrades
We perform electrical system upgrades to meet current safety standards including panel replacements, arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) installations, and 20-amp circuit upgrades. Our licensed professionals ensure compliance with Michigan's electrical codes while improving system capacity for modern power demands. We address outdated 15-amp circuits that cannot safely handle today's electronics and appliances.
Emergency Electrical Repairs
Our emergency service team responds promptly to urgent electrical issues outside regular business hours. Available 24/7 for critical situations like power outages, electrical fires, and malfunctioning systems. We prioritize safety while resolving issues affecting property operations, with technicians equipped to handle both residential and commercial emergencies. Service includes diagnostics, temporary repairs, and permanent solutions.
QuietCool Whole House Fans
As authorized dealers, we install QuietCool whole house ventilation systems that reduce cooling costs by 50-90% compared to traditional AC. Our experts handle complete installations with sound-dampening ducting and R5-insulated damper boxes. These energy-efficient systems move 20 air exchanges per hour using low-noise motors, with 15-year warranties on premium models. The systems improve indoor air quality while lowering energy consumption through natural ventilation.

We had a great experience with Bratcher Electric! Alex and Tommy were very patient and professional while explaining every question we had while updating our electric service. DTE told us we needed to have it updated ASAP. They worked with us to get it completed in a timely fashion. Thanks again!

Called Family heating and electrical to have a portable generator transfer switch installed. Couldn't get an estimate for six weeks. Called Bratcher and had an estimate within two weeks. The service professional, clean and on time. Alex took the time to teach me how to use the switch. Very happy with Bratcher Electric.
