What That Means for Electrical Work in Auburn
Half of Auburn's homes were built before 1974, a quarter before 1960, and only about 4 percent before 1940, so most houses are from the 1960s through the 1990s. Their original 100 amp panels are now decades old and are the most common upgrade, especially when adding central air, a hot tub or a generator hookup. About one in six homes heats with electricity, and winter storms that knock out power are a good reason to think about a standby generator and whole-home surge protection.

Common Questions
Does Select Electric serve Auburn?
Yes. Auburn is between Midland and Bay City and well within Select Electric's service area. Call (989) 835-3587.
Is whole-home surge protection worth it for my Auburn home?
For many homes, yes. A surge protector at the panel helps guard furnaces, appliances and electronics against surges from storms and utility switching, and it works alongside plug-in strips rather than replacing them. An electrician installs it in or next to the main panel.
