"Mike has been absolutely amazing to work with! I wanted to install an EV charger in my very old barn. Other folks that quoted this said I would need another meter from RGE!! Mike came and took a look and found a way to upgrade the very ancient sub panel and then install the car charger. Very reasonably priced! And he completed the work in about 3 hours. I will definitely work with him again in the future for other projects around the house."

"We had a great experience with Mark and his team. Mark was quick to respond to our request for a quote and came back with a reasonable quote for our 200 amp upgrade.I also came away feeling like he had a solid plan for dealing with some of the quirks of our house. I also had to reschedule this large job and Mark was able to accommodate that. Luis and Diego performed the work and they were absolutely fantastic. Friendly and professional at the same time, they performed high quality work and kept us in the loop the whole way. We also had a separate sub panel upgraded and wiring put in place for an EV charge. Everything came out working well and looking great. It was a pleasure having them take care of the project for us. I would definitely recommend Ellenwood Electric and will not hesitate to call them again for any of our future electrical needs."

"Photon Electric did a superb job on my barn and house. The 1840s barn had old lighting that was shorting - and Marcus fixed that right away. He added outlets and lighting to two large areas of the barn then came to the house to sort out our mixed up panel. He was very attentive - he left the barn swallow nests intact because I had mentioned my husband loved them. He cleaned up everything, worked quickly, and was very patient with the electrical panel in the house. He added a light fixture and gave me a lesson on single pole 3 way dimmers. He was a pleasure to deal with. He was also the first to get us a quote through Angi and we got the work done super fast. We are so happy that he sorted us out. Recommend this proficient professional highly!"

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

A whole-house surge protector blocks voltage spikes from lightning, grid issues, or even large appliances before they can fry your wiring or electronics. By diverting excess current at the main panel, it shields everything from your HVAC to your phone chargers and can extend the life of pricey appliances. Homeowners in storm-prone regions or with older panels see the biggest payoff, but any home that relies on sensitive electronics benefits.

Most whole-house surge protectors work for two to three years. Low-level spikes—too small to notice—hit your panel every day and slowly wear down the internal components. Once the unit’s capacity is depleted, it can’t prevent a larger surge, so plan to replace it on schedule (or sooner if a major lightning strike occurs) to keep your electronics and HVAC equipment safe.

A surge protector begins guarding your circuits the moment an electrician snaps it into place. Whether the spike originates from a nearby lightning strike or your fridge kicking on, the protector shunts the extra current to ground before it can reach outlets or hard-wired systems, such as your AC. That instant response is why a small upfront cost can save thousands in appliance repairs.

The unit mounts on or next to your main electrical panel. Type 1 models sit on the supply side, catching outside spikes before they hit the breaker. Type 2 devices snap inside the panel and tame surges that start within the house. Either way, placement at the panel lets the protector guard every circuit at once.

Plan to swap the device every three to five years—or sooner if you upgrade your panel, add high-demand appliances, or notice flickering lights and tripped breakers. Relying on a maze of power strips is another red flag that your current setup isn’t keeping up. Replacing the surge protector at these milestones keeps your electrical system on safe footing.
