Flexible payment options
Unexpected electrical work may still have a payment option.
Landmark works with independent finance companies to offer qualified customers a range of payment-plan options. Review the available providers and continue through the provider you choose.
Temporary restoration is a controlled bridge—not a shortcut
Temporary power can be appropriate during emergency repair or while required materials, utility work, structural restoration, a permit or a permanent service correction is being arranged. The purpose is limited and documented from the start.
A temporary method cannot be used to conceal damaged equipment, defeat overcurrent or shock protection, backfeed the utility or energize conductors and enclosures that are not suitable for service.
What Landmark evaluates before offering temporary power
The electrician first identifies the damaged section and verifies that it can be isolated from the portion proposed for use. Available source, load, conductor and connection ratings, grounding and bonding, environmental exposure, equipment listing and manufacturer instructions all affect the decision.
- Whether the utility supply and customer-owned service equipment are safe and available
- Which circuits or loads can be isolated and supported without exceeding the temporary arrangement
- Required overcurrent, ground-fault and physical protection
- Weather, moisture, access, mechanical support and tampering risks
- Permit, inspection, utility and local-authority requirements
- The permanent repair plan and the condition that ends temporary use
MultiARC and other temporary restoration methods
Where appropriate, Landmark may use a listed MultiARC temporary power restoration device or another permitted temporary method to support the defined restoration plan. Selection is based on the actual failure, compatible equipment, permitted use and the device manufacturer's instructions—not on the customer's desired load alone.
Availability of a temporary device does not guarantee that a property can be re-energized. Water, fire, structural damage, utility disconnection, unsafe service equipment or inability to isolate the fault may require the system to remain off.
The handoff includes limits and a permanent path
Landmark identifies what is energized, what remains disconnected, any load or use restrictions, required monitoring and the next permanent step. Occupants should not move, modify or add loads to the temporary arrangement.
Temporary wiring and equipment are removed when their approved purpose ends. Permanent repair, utility coordination and inspection remain separate completion requirements unless the written scope expressly includes them.
Codes and standards that apply
These references explain the framework for this work. The adopted code, Michigan amendments, local authority, utility rules, equipment listings and manufacturer instructions must be considered together for the actual installation.
Frequently asked questions
Can temporary power restore my entire house?
Not necessarily. The safe capacity and scope depend on the available source, damaged equipment, isolation method and permitted temporary arrangement. Essential loads may need to be prioritized, and some properties cannot be temporarily energized.
How long can a temporary restoration stay in place?
Only for the documented emergency or repair purpose and any period allowed by the applicable rules, utility and authority. It should be removed when that purpose ends and is not a substitute for completing the permanent repair.
Can I connect more appliances after the electrician leaves?
No. Temporary arrangements are designed around defined conductors, protection and loads. Adding or relocating loads can exceed the design and create a new hazard. Follow the written limits and contact Landmark before any change.
Technical review
Reviewed by Landmark Electric
This service information was reviewed for scope, safety context and accuracy by Landmark Electric, Inc., Michigan Electrical Contractor License #6114673. It provides general planning information; the adopted rules, local authority, utility requirements, equipment instructions and actual field conditions control each project.
When safety cannot wait
Burning odors, visible smoke, active arcing, warm or buzzing breakers, damaged service equipment and partial power can signal a serious hazard. If there is fire or active smoke, leave the area and call 911. Otherwise, avoid touching the affected equipment and call Landmark for urgent electrical help.
What your service visit includes
Your $79 dispatch and evaluation charge covers sending an electrical professional to your property and the initial on-site evaluation. During that evaluation, the electrician examines the relevant accessible system, shows or explains the supported findings and identifies the cause when the available evidence reasonably allows. Clear, flat-rate options are presented before approved work begins, and the charge is waived when you proceed with approved work during the visit. Any special access, extended diagnosis, permit or after-hours considerations are explained before work moves forward.
