How often should my home’s electrical system be inspected?

Most electricians recommend a full inspection every 3 to 5 years, but homes older than 30 years or properties with recent renovations may need more frequent checks. Regular inspections help catch outdated wiring, overloaded panels, and potential fire hazards before they become emergencies.

Can I upgrade to a smart electrical panel in Troy, MI?

Yes. Smart panels are available and can be installed in most Troy homes. They allow homeowners to monitor energy use in real time, identify power-hungry appliances, and even reset breakers from a smartphone app. This upgrade is especially useful for households with solar, EV chargers, or high-tech appliances.

What size generator do I need for backup power?

The size of the generator depends on whether you want to power essentials only or your entire home. For example, a 7kW unit may cover lights, a fridge, and a furnace, while a 22kW generator can handle most large homes. An in-home assessment ensures the right fit for your household’s electrical load.

Do electrical codes change often in Michigan?

Yes. Michigan updates its electrical codes roughly every three years to align with the National Electrical Code (NEC). This means certain installations, like GFCI outlets or breaker requirements, may be different from what was acceptable when your home was built. Upgrades keep your home compliant and safe.

Is it worth installing a dedicated circuit for appliances?

Absolutely. Appliances like microwaves, washers, dryers, and sump pumps often perform better and last longer on their own circuit. This prevents frequent breaker trips, reduces wear on wiring, and provides a safer, more efficient setup for your home’s electrical system.

Hoover did an excellent job with our underground sewer repair and refurbishment. Needed to replace a section of pipe which collapsed and then a follow-up with trenchless liner install (CIPP) from the house, out to the connection with the city main. An expensive repair, but it would be with any company. They were able to help us out and reduce from their original estimate. The cost is in the equipment for the UV light cured pipe liner. Hoover’s technicians were all friendly and professional and answered all my many questions. Would recommend them to anyone facing similar circumstances.

Tyler came out and was completely professional and personable. I assumed I was just looking for an unclogging, however Tyler was able to find what the real problem and was able to get me scheduled for a repair because unfortunately it wasn't a simple unclogging. From the first phone call to their main office to the end result has been great!

Thank you for listening, for being so understanding and accommodating. You did not have to stay on the phone with me as long as you did and listen to all of the woes we have been going through recently, but you did and I am beyond grateful. You have yourselves a new lifetime customer.

Hoover completed the job I had booked which was quite extensive. Let me tell you. The work that Hoover did was exceptional. Super clean work. Incredibly respectful of the homeowner. I will call Hoover for any needs going forward. They were spot on with timing, and kept me updated every single step of the way. Also they made sure I was happy before they left and they asked how I wanted things done such as how would I like the conduit ran. That stuff matters. It’s the little things. Call Hoover for all of your needs!
