"Unfortunately I have been ghosted by the owner, Anthony, twice. I would agree with some prior reviewers when Anthony is first contacted, he calls back and shows up when agreed. However, after three service calls, it was nine weeks without any communication (call or text) regarding the work that had been discussed on the last call that needed completion. I had to reach out to him and gave him a second chance. So.... after discussing his nine weeks of ghosting and what I expected going forward, he not only ghosted me again without any communications but this time, I did not hear from him for 14 weeks, which during that time, I was without electricity in my basement and he was aware of this and had agreed to return for this job. I reached out to him again and ended his services. Of note, this is my first review and felt strongly enough to write it to help others know while deciding on his/her electrical jobs."

"I had a great experience with Ron Bonaccorso Electric. The team was professional, punctual, and very knowledgeable. They installed my EV outlet cleanly and safely, and everything works perfectly. The workmanship was neat, and they explained the process clearly before starting. Pricing was fair, and the job was completed efficiently. I highly recommend them for any electrical work!"

"Reid added 3 additional electrical outlets and a closet light to our 7 year old house. One outlet and the closet light were a bit challenging, but not a problem for him. Timely, courteous, and reasonable - I have already recommended his services to our road neighbors should they ever require electrical work."

"A prompt response by Mark Ellenwood created a comprehensive, well-reasoned plan that also required coordination with the local utility and a tree trimming service. A fixed price was agreed and a tentative schedule presented. Ellenwood Electric coordinated the entire process . The 2 young men who performed the electrical work were skilled, competent, and courteous. Their work was praised by both the utility company personnel and the Ispector. And all work was completed for the exact agreed price."

"First class operation all the way. Miles and Caleb were polite, personable and prompt. They had a very hard time disassembling the old boiler but were persistent and ultimately successful. They then made sure the new boiler was installed and working, even though that made for a very long day on their part. We are completely satisfied with the new boiler and their performance getting rid of the old one and installing the new one. We now have heat which is very welcome!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Geneva, NY

While homeowners with substantial electrical knowledge might technically attempt a subpanel installation, most local building departments require permits and inspections for this type of work. Professional electricians understand local code requirements, can obtain necessary permits, and ensure the installation meets safety standards. Given the significant safety risks associated with incorrect electrical work, most homeowners benefit from hiring a licensed professional.

A standard subpanel installation takes an average of four to eight hours. This timeframe may extend if you're installing multiple subpanels or adding specialized circuits like those for spa equipment. Factors such as difficult access points, complex wiring paths, or permit processing times can also affect the overall project duration.

Adding a subpanel doesn't directly reduce electricity consumption or lower your utility bills. A subpanel simply redistributes power from your main panel to additional circuits. However, organizing your electrical system more efficiently may help prevent overloaded circuits and the associated problems. For actual cost savings, consider energy-efficient appliances and lighting instead.

The appropriate subpanel size depends on your specific electrical requirements. Consider the number and type of devices you'll be powering, potential future needs, and the capacity of your main electrical panel. An electrician can perform a load calculation to determine the most suitable amperage rating for your situation, ensuring you have adequate power without overpaying for unnecessary capacity.

A main electrical panel connects directly to your utility's power supply and contains your home's primary service disconnect. It distributes electricity throughout your entire house. A subpanel, by contrast, receives power from the main panel and redistributes it to a specific area of your home. Think of the main panel as the primary distribution point and the subpanel as a secondary branch that extends your electrical system's reach.

While electrical upgrades aren't as immediately visible as kitchen or bathroom renovations, they can contribute to your home's functionality and safety. Prospective buyers often appreciate updated electrical systems that can accommodate modern power demands. A properly installed subpanel that provides additional capacity for workshops, home offices, or future expansions could be an attractive feature for certain buyers, though the direct impact on home value varies by market.
