Planning a renovation or adding a major appliance is the right time to get the electrical side sorted before the walls go back up. A kitchen remodel that calls for a dedicated circuit, a garage addition that needs its own subpanel, or a home office that keeps tripping the breaker under load are all situations where getting the wiring right at the start saves real trouble later. We take those calls from Greece homeowners and property owners throughout Monroe County, scope the work on the phone, and get it scheduled before the project stalls.
We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM.
Whether the job is a planned upgrade or something that turned up during a remodel, the process is the same: call (585) 822-6289, describe what you have in mind, and get a price before anything is confirmed.
An outlet that has never worked since you moved in, a switch that crackles when you flip it, and a porch light that has been on the to-do list for two seasons are all jobs that feel minor until they are not. A switch that sparks is not a quirk. It is a connection fault that generates heat every time it is used. An outlet that has never worked may have a loose wire behind the face plate, a failed GFCI upstream, or a wiring problem that extends further into the circuit than it appears.
The jobs people put off are the ones that tend to cost more when they finally get attention, because a loose connection left alone can damage the box, the wire, and sometimes the surrounding material. The repair is faster and simpler when it is caught early. One call gets the problem looked at properly.
When part of the house goes dark or a circuit stops responding, the first question is whether the problem sits inside the home's wiring or upstream at the utility's equipment. A partial power loss, where some circuits work and others do not, often points to a failed leg at the meter or the service entrance rather than a fault in the home's panel. A complete outage with no obvious tripped breaker is similar. We work through the symptoms methodically before opening anything up.
If the fault traces back to the utility's side of the meter, the next step is a call to the utility company. We can help you identify that boundary, describe what you are seeing, and confirm what the utility is responsible for before they send a crew. What we handle is everything from the service entrance and main disconnect inward: the panel, the branch circuits, the outlets, switches, and fixtures throughout the property. Panel and wiring work finished to code means the utility's crew finds a clean connection point when they arrive.
Scheduling is straightforward for planned projects. Call, describe the job, get the price, and pick a time. For work that will not keep, we take short-notice calls when the schedule allows. A sparking outlet or a partial power loss that appeared overnight is not something to leave until next week.
Call (585) 822-6289 and ask what is available.
For landlords with occupied units or small businesses that need to stay open, we work through the scope on the call and flag anything that will require a circuit to be off for a stretch. That conversation happens before the visit. Knowing what the job involves and how long each circuit will be down lets you plan around it rather than react to it.
The price is set on the call, before the visit is confirmed. For most jobs, a clear description of the symptom or the project is enough to give you a solid number. What moves a quote is what the fault actually turns out to be, what has to be opened up to reach it, and whether the existing circuit or panel can carry the change being made.
A dedicated circuit for a new appliance is priced differently depending on how far the run is, whether the panel has capacity, and whether the wiring path requires going through finished walls. A panel upgrade is priced based on the current service size, what the new service needs to carry, and whether the service entrance needs to come up at the same time. Those details come out on the call.
The scope of the electrical work is priced before it starts, so you know what you are agreeing to before anyone arrives. If the job changes once the wall is open, that conversation happens before the work continues.
Call (585) 822-6289 and ask what the job you have in mind is likely to involve.
Homes of a certain age in this part of Monroe County were built with wiring types that are no longer used and, in some cases, are no longer safe to leave active. Knob-and-tube wiring, which runs as individual conductors separated by ceramic knobs and tubes through framing, was standard construction for decades. It has no ground conductor, it was not designed for the loads a modern household puts on it, and insulation that has been in place for that long is brittle. Where it is still active in walls and attic spaces, replacement is the right call.
Aluminum branch-circuit wiring from a later period is a different problem. The wiring itself is not inherently dangerous, but aluminum expands and contracts differently from copper, and connections that were made with the wrong materials or have loosened over time are a real concern. Every connection point needs to be assessed and treated with the correct materials. Two-prong outlets in an older home are a sign the wiring deserves a look, because ungrounded circuits are one of the clearest indicators that the system has not been updated.
Not everything in an older home needs to be replaced. Copper branch-circuit wiring in good condition, with proper grounding and up-to-date GFCI and AFCI protection where the code requires it, can serve a home well. An assessment tells you which circuits are in good shape and which ones need attention, so the work is targeted rather than wholesale. No pressure and no gimmicks, just safe, solid wiring and a clear picture of what the system actually needs. People planning work in Greece usually check the electrical service list first.
An older panel that cannot carry the loads being put on it shows up as breakers that trip under normal use, a panel that feels warm, or a service size that was never adequate for the home's actual demand. Replacing the panel or upgrading the service involves a load calculation to size the new panel correctly, the physical replacement of the enclosure and breakers, and in many cases a service-entrance upgrade at the same time. We handle the full scope, including subpanel additions where a detached structure or addition needs its own distribution point.
A refrigerator, dryer, dishwasher, or range that shares a circuit with other loads is a tripping breaker waiting to happen. Dedicated circuits for large appliances run a single circuit from the panel to the outlet, sized for the appliance's actual draw. This is also the starting point for any new appliance being added to a kitchen or laundry area where the existing wiring was not set up to handle it.
A detached garage that runs on an extension cord, a shed with no power at all, or an electric gate that needs a reliable circuit are all jobs that require a proper run from the main panel or a subpanel. The method depends on the distance, whether the run goes underground or overhead, and what the structure needs to support. We handle the circuit, the panel connections, and the weatherproof wiring so the power is there when it needs to be.
A Level 2 home charging station requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit run to the garage or parking area. Before the circuit is run, the panel needs to have the capacity to carry it. If the service is already at its limit, a panel upgrade is part of the scope. We handle the circuit run and the panel work together so the charger installation is complete in a single visit. Load calculations are part of every EV charger job so the panel is not left running at its limit after the charger is added.
We cover Greece and the surrounding area throughout Monroe County. That includes North Gates, Gates, Spencerport, Ogden, and Rochester.
If your property is in one of those communities, call (585) 822-6289 and we will confirm your address falls within the current service area.
We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM. Call now and we'll set the appointment.
We schedule work during off-hours where possible, or stage the job so only one section of the space is affected at a time. Panel work that requires a full shutdown is typically done when the business is closed. We confirm the schedule and the shutdown requirements before the job starts.
Yes. The electrical side of a generator installation includes a transfer switch that keeps the generator and utility power safely separated, a dedicated circuit from the panel to the generator connection point, and the wiring that manages which circuits the generator covers. Without a proper transfer switch, a generator feeding back into the utility line creates a serious hazard. We handle the transfer switch and all associated wiring. The generator itself comes from the homeowner or a separate supplier.
Two-prong outlets are a reliable indicator that the circuits in question were never grounded, which points to wiring that predates modern grounding requirements. That does not automatically mean everything needs to be replaced, but it does mean the system deserves a proper assessment. GFCI outlets can be installed on ungrounded circuits to provide ground-fault protection, and in some cases running a new ground conductor back to the panel is the right approach. We assess the existing wiring and explain which option applies to your situation.
Older housing stock in this part of Monroe County generates a steady stream of panel assessments, knob-and-tube evaluations, grounding upgrades, and dedicated circuit additions for appliances that were never properly wired in. EV charger circuits and backup generator hookups have become increasingly common as more households add both. The call usually starts with a symptom and ends with a clear scope of what the job involves.
You are. If we start on what looks like a minor repair and find a more significant underlying issue, we stop and explain what we found before continuing. The scope and the cost of any additional work are agreed with you before we proceed. We do not continue beyond the original scope without that conversation.
The outlet that has never worked, the switch that buzzes, the panel that trips every time the heat kicks on: none of those fix themselves. Every week they go unaddressed is another week the underlying fault is doing what it does.
