We power your home. We protect your circuits. We earn the call.
We'll handle the wiring so you don't have to.
No matter what's going wrong with your wiring, the first step is figuring out exactly where the problem sits. A flickering light might be a loose connection at the fixture, a failing switch, or a deeper issue at the panel. An outlet that stopped working could be a tripped GFCI upstream, a bad receptacle, or a wiring fault that needs tracing. A burning smell near a switch or outlet means stop using it right away and call to get it checked as soon as possible.
We troubleshoot the symptom and work back to the source. That covers partial power loss, breakers that trip under normal loads, outlets that spark, and circuits that simply don't respond. Where GFCI and AFCI protection is missing or has failed, we identify it and explain what replacing it involves. Grounding and bonding issues come up frequently in older construction, and we address those as part of the diagnostic process rather than as an afterthought.
No pressure and no gimmicks, just safe, solid wiring. One call gets the problem looked at properly.
This area has every kind of panel and circuit in it, from modern 200-amp services in newer builds to 60-amp fuse boxes in houses that haven't seen an electrician in decades. When a panel can't carry the load a home or building actually puts on it, the symptoms show up as tripping breakers, warm panels, and circuits that won't support what's plugged into them. We handle the full range: replacing a fuse box with a modern breaker panel, upgrading a 100-amp service to 200 amps, and full service-entrance upgrades where the meter and main disconnect need to come up to current standards.
Whole-home rewiring comes up regularly in Monroe County's older housing stock. Knob-and-tube wiring that's still active in walls and attic spaces is a situation that deserves a proper assessment. Aluminum branch-circuit wiring from the 1960s and 1970s requires specific remediation at every connection point, and we handle that work methodically. Subpanel installation is another common request when a garage, addition, or outbuilding needs its own circuit capacity. Load calculations are part of any service upgrade so the new panel is sized right for what the property actually needs.
Two-prong outlets in an older home are a sign the wiring deserves a look.
Panel and wiring work finished to code. Call now and we'll get the power back where it belongs.
When the electrician arrives, the real work begins, and the scope on these jobs is wider than most people expect. Outlet installation covers standard receptacles, GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and exterior locations, AFCI outlets where the circuit calls for them, USB outlets, and 240V receptacles for larger equipment. Switch and dimmer installation is straightforward work that makes a real difference in how a space functions, and we handle both single-pole and three-way configurations.
Lighting installation runs from recessed LED fixtures and under-cabinet lighting in kitchens to outdoor security lights, motion-sensor fixtures, and landscape lighting along walkways and driveways. Getting exterior lighting wired correctly matters in a climate where fixtures take a beating from ice and cold. Ceiling fan installation and replacement is a regular call, whether it's a new fan going in where there was no fixture before or a swap where the wiring needs checking before the new unit goes up.
The work area left as it was found. We'll handle the wiring so you don't have to.
Before a small wiring issue turns into a hazard, it's worth knowing what your panel can actually support. Dedicated circuits for appliances are one of the most common requests we get: a dryer outlet that needs a proper 240V circuit, a range that's sharing a circuit it shouldn't be, or large equipment in a garage or workshop that needs its own run back to the panel. Adding a circuit is clean work when the panel has capacity, and we assess that before anything is scheduled.
EV charger installation has grown steadily as more households in the area add an electric vehicle. A Level 2 home charging station requires a dedicated 240V circuit and, in some cases, a panel upgrade before the charger can be installed safely. We handle the circuit run and the charger hookup together so the job is complete in one visit.
Whole-home surge protection installs at the panel and protects everything connected to the house from voltage spikes that can damage appliances, electronics, and HVAC equipment over time. It's a single installation that covers every circuit in the home. Call now and we'll set the appointment.
Upstate New York winters are hard on homes and harder on electrical systems. Sub-freezing temperatures, ice storms, and multi-day outages put demands on panels, circuits, and wiring that warmer climates never see. The three services below come up every season in this area, and we handle all of them.
When an ice storm knocks out power for two or three days, a backup generator is the difference between a manageable situation and a serious one. We handle the electrical side of generator installation: the transfer switch that keeps utility and generator power safely separated, the dedicated circuit that feeds the generator inlet, and the panel connections that determine which circuits the generator covers. Whether you're connecting a portable generator through a properly wired inlet or installing a standby unit with an automatic transfer switch, the wiring and the switchgear are what make it work safely.
Monroe County's housing stock includes a large number of homes built in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s with panels that were never designed to carry the electrical loads a modern household puts on them. Electric heating, modern appliances, and home office equipment add up fast. A 200-amp upgrade gives the panel the capacity to handle those loads without the panel working at its limit every winter. We also handle service-entrance and meter upgrades where the utility connection itself needs to come up to current requirements, and subpanel additions where a detached structure or addition needs its own distribution point.
Roof ice dams and frozen pipes are a routine winter risk in Irondequoit, and heat tape is one of the most practical ways to address both. The wiring side of a heat tape installation requires a dedicated circuit run to the appropriate location, weatherproof connections, and a GFCI-protected outlet that meets code for the application. Doing this work correctly the first time matters because the system runs through the coldest months of the year and needs to be reliable when temperatures drop hard. We handle the circuit and the connections so the heat tape operates the way it's supposed to.
Scheduling a service call is simple, and that holds for commercial customers as much as residential ones. Property managers, business owners, and contractors working on tenant improvements or renovations need electrical work scoped and scheduled without a lot of back-and-forth. We handle commercial repairs, panel and circuit upgrades, lighting installation, outlet and switch work, and the wiring that goes into a remodel, addition, or finished space.
Electrical safety inspections are a regular part of commercial work, particularly when a space changes tenants or a building changes use. We assess the panel condition, identify wiring that doesn't meet current standards, and document what needs to be addressed. For renovation and new construction projects, we coordinate the electrical scope with the build schedule so the wiring is in place when the rest of the work needs it. Call now and we'll get the power back where it belongs.
An electrical safety inspection covers the things that don't show obvious symptoms until something goes wrong. We look at the panel condition, identify the wiring type present in the structure, check outlet grounding throughout the home, and flag any code issues that need to be addressed. Arc-fault and ground-fault breaker coverage is part of the assessment, particularly in older homes where that protection was never installed.
Inspections come up in several situations: a buyer who wants to know what they're getting into before closing, a seller who wants to address issues before listing, a landlord with older rental units, and a homeowner who simply hasn't had the wiring looked at in a long time. The scope of the electrical work priced before it starts, so you know what addressing any identified issue will involve before you commit to anything. One call gets the problem looked at properly.
Pricing for electrical work is explained on the call, before anything is scheduled. For common jobs, including panel upgrades, EV charger installation, rewiring, ceiling fan installation, and outlet work, you get a clear picture of what the job involves and what it costs before we confirm a visit. If the scope changes once the work is underway, that conversation happens before the work continues.
Call in the morning. Talk it through. Know the options by the end of the call.

We serve Irondequoit and the communities around it throughout Monroe County. That includes Rochester, Brighton, Webster, Penfield, Greece, Henrietta, and East Rochester. If you're nearby and need electrical work looked at, call and we'll confirm whether your address falls within our current service area. We'll handle the wiring so you don't have to.
When you call, we ask about the symptom, the location, and what was happening when the problem started. That gives us enough to scope the job, explain what it involves, and give you a price before anything is scheduled. Once the price and timing work for you, we confirm the appointment and you know what to expect.
Yes. We take calls from homeowners, landlords, property managers, office buildings, retail spaces, and small businesses throughout Irondequoit and the surrounding Monroe County communities. The process is the same regardless of property type: the scope is confirmed, the price is set, and the work is done to code.
The most useful information is the symptom or the project you have in mind, the location in the home or building, and roughly how old the property is. For panel work or rewiring, knowing the current panel size and whether the home has had any electrical updates helps us give you a more accurate picture on the call. You do not need to know the technical answer before you call.
A breaker that trips repeatedly under normal kitchen loads is usually a sign that the circuit is carrying more than it was designed for, or that a fault exists somewhere in the wiring or appliances on that circuit. Kitchen circuits for refrigerators, microwaves, and dishwashers are often candidates for dedicated circuit upgrades.
Call (585) 822-6289 and we can talk through what is happening and what the fix is likely to involve.
The price is explained on the call before anything is scheduled. We confirm what the job involves, what it costs, and what that covers. If the scope changes once the electrician is on site, that conversation happens before any additional work continues.
Availability depends on the current schedule, and we confirm what is open when you call. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM, and we take short-notice work when the schedule allows.
Call (585) 822-6289 and ask what is available.
Yes. Property managers coordinating electrical work across rental units or commercial buildings follow the same process as any other customer. We scope the work, set the price, and schedule each job. For landlords with older units that have been flagged for wiring issues or panel problems, we handle those repairs and can assess the system before the work is agreed.
The most common reason a price changes on site is that the wiring or panel condition turns out to be different from what was described on the call. Older homes sometimes have knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring that requires additional steps to work around safely. If the scope changes, we explain what was found and what addressing it involves before any additional work is done.
Deposit requirements depend on the size and scope of the job. That is part of the conversation when the job is quoted.
Call (585) 822-6289 and ask what applies to your specific project.
