Original service, modern load
Pre war and early post war houses were wired for a fraction of what a household now runs. Panels fill up, breakers start tripping, and the answer is usually capacity rather than a repair.

Rochester's housing stock runs older than almost anything in the surrounding towns, and a lot of it is still working off the service it was built with.

Common in older city properties. Not automatically an emergency, but it limits what you can safely plug in and it comes up at inspection and at sale.

Service panel upgrades, breaker replacement, rewiring, GFCI protection and code updates, sized to what the house genuinely needs.

Yes, at (315) 904-1882, every day of the year. A burning smell, visible sparking, a warm outlet plate or a breaker that trips instantly every time you reset it are all calls we expect outside business hours. Stop using the circuit and call.
Yes, and often same day. You get a detailed quote before any work starts, with no hidden fees added at the end.
Regularly. Older city properties can still carry original wiring, ungrounded outlets and undersized service. None of that is automatically an emergency, but it limits what the house can safely run. We assess it and give you a plan you can stage over time rather than one large bill.
