Diversified Electric was founded in 2012 by Chris Hinze and Mike Hreha. With a combined total of 40 years of experience, they started with a single van and a handful of jobs that quickly turned into something more — driven by a shared work ethic, trust in the trade, and early referrals from friends, family, and peers in the industry. From the beginning, the vision was not only to deliver quality work, but to evolve with the changing technology and expectations in the electrical industry — from lighting automation to smart energy solutions — helping to shape the future of residential and commercial power systems in Southeast Michigan.

Within the first two years, they had completed numerous projects, earning recognition through HomeAdvisor with all five-star reviews and a "Contractor of the Year" award. Over the years, Diversified Electric has continued to be recognized for excellence, including being named Best Electrician in 2019 by Best of Detroit Magazine and Subcontractor of the Year in 2022 by the Michigan Home Builders Association.

Today, Diversified Electric employs 17 hard-working professionals dedicated to delivering high-quality electrical work and excellent customer service. The company handles everything from custom residential builds to commercial projects and is one of the very few true electrical contractors in Michigan qualified as a full Lutron dealer — capable of selling, designing, installing, programming, and supporting advanced HomeWorks lighting control systems and the complete line of Lutron motorized shades, including premium options like Palladiom.

In addition, Diversified Electric is a full-service electrical company with the capabilities and expertise to design and build complex electrical systems, specify lighting packages, assist in the design process with architects and designers, and install complete electrical infrastructures. The team also specializes in the design and specification of intricate lighting packages, lighting control systems, and shades. Once the project is complete, the team remains available to provide ongoing support and factory-authorized warranty service for trusted brands like Lutron, Infratech Heaters, Generac, and Cummins generator systems.

Diversified Electric has grown by doing right by its clients and building lasting relationships. Partnerships with builders like Templeton Building Company, organizations like the Detroit Zoo, trade partners like Spire Integrated, and involvement with the Home Builders Association have opened doors to new opportunities. Through it all, the philosophy has stayed the same: be honest, do good work, and follow through.
