Our specialty is residential troubleshooting, repairs, service upgrades and addition of new plugs, lighting and etc. "We Do It Without Shorts"

"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."

"Hurricane solutions installed a home generator for us two years ago. It was explained to the salesman and the person that came out to review the job that we had a solar edge solar panels with batteries that was connected to the grid and that the batteries powered the house first before switching to the grid when there was no sun. Everyone from the company assured us that they knew how to install the generator. They wired it without connecting to the solar panel control box. It has not powered the house since it was installed because the generator can sense the power in the batteries which are not allowed to go below 10% as not to ruin them. Hurricane solutions has refused to fix the problems they created. I spent over a year contacting them dozens of times with them about their improper installation with no results. They have shown that they will not fix problems that they have created due to their ignorance on how to install a generator into a modern solar system. Dennis F. "

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Rochester, all electrical work must comply with the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) as adopted by New York State, along with specific amendments enforced by the City of Rochester Building Department. Permits and inspections are required for most projects, and only licensed electricians may perform certain types of work. Always consult the City of Rochester Building Department for current local requirements before starting any electrical project.

Helpful?

In Rochester, common electrical upgrades include replacing outdated fuse boxes with modern circuit breaker panels, adding dedicated circuits for high-demand appliances, and upgrading grounding systems. The New York State Division of Building Standards and Codes also recommends installing arc-fault and ground-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs and GFCIs) in key areas for enhanced safety. These improvements help homes meet current code and support today's technology needs.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Rochester should be aware that many older homes still have knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, which may not meet current safety standards. Upgrading to modern copper wiring and installing whole-house surge protection are recommended, especially given Rochester's frequent storms. The New York State Division of Building Standards and Codes advises replacing outdated panels and ensuring all outlets are properly grounded to reduce fire and shock risks.

Helpful?

Rochester's cold winters and humid summers can stress electrical systems, increasing the risk of outages and equipment failure. The City of Rochester Building Department recommends weatherproofing exterior outlets and ensuring your electrical panel can handle increased loads from heating and cooling systems. Regular inspections help identify weather-related wear, such as corrosion or insulation damage, ensuring your home remains safe and efficient year-round.

Helpful?

The City of Rochester Building Department advises annual electrical inspections by a licensed professional to identify hazards like loose connections, overloaded circuits, or aging wiring. Testing GFCI and AFCI outlets, checking for signs of overheating in your panel, and scheduling routine maintenance on surge protectors can prevent costly repairs. Staying proactive with these steps helps maintain a safe, reliable electrical system in your Rochester home.
