Why Homeowners Choose Fosgate Family Electric Company
Fosgate Family Electric Company is a family-owned and operated electrical contractor built on experience, education, and doing the job right. For more than five years, our family has served homeowners throughout South Central Michigan with a team that includes a licensed Master Electrician and Electrical Contractor, along with two licensed Journeyman Electricians. Owner Branden Fosgate brings nearly 20 years of electrical experience to the company and is known throughout the trade for his technical knowledge and problem-solving ability.
We believe your home deserves experienced hands. We don't send apprentices into customers' homes to perform electrical work on their own. Every electrical job is handled by licensed professionals because your home isn't a training ground. As we grow and train the next generation of electricians, apprentices work alongside experienced Journeyman Electricians, never in place of them.
That commitment has helped Fosgate Family Electric Company become the most-reviewed electrical contractor in our local area on Google, with 181 Google reviews, 176 five-star reviews, and an overall 4.9-star rating as of October 2026. We're proud to also be one of the area's highest-rated electrical contractors, but we don't expect our reviews to earn your business for us. We want the opportunity to earn your trust ourselves.
We're an approved Michigan Saves contractor and Generac Authorized Dealer and Service Provider, with financing options available. We also offer our comprehensive Home Electrical Evaluation, giving homeowners the opportunity to walk through their home's electrical system with a Master Electrician, ask questions, identify concerns, and better understand the system that powers their home.
FFEC is an active member of the Home Builders Association, Professional Women in Building, Jackson Chamber of Commerce, and Irish Hills Regional Chamber of Commerce. We also work with builders and restoration companies throughout the area.
Being a local, family-owned business also means investing in the communities that support us. Through Builders Care, we've provided electrical services to three homes for community members in need in 2026 alone. We also actively support local Christmas programs providing gifts to low-income and foster families.
Experienced. Licensed. Local. And ready to earn your business.
Clear Pricing Starts with Clear Communication
Every home and every electrical issue is different, which is why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pricing.
We offer free estimates and take the time to walk through what we find, explain your options, and outline realistic cost ranges before any work begins. Our goal is for you to understand what you’re paying for and why, so you can make an informed decision that’s right for your home.
Quality electrical work isn’t just about fixing a problem. It’s about doing it safely, correctly, and with clear communication from start to finish. Our pricing reflects thoughtful diagnostics, skilled workmanship, and respect for your space and your time. So, you can move forward feeling confident and comfortable in your decision.
