Your Home Electrical Service
Customers sometimes ask, “What’s an electrical service?” First: If the electrical wires that bring the power to your house run overhead, they’re owned by the utility company. If the lines run underground, the homeowner usually owns them. This is important because if you own them, you usually have the responsibility for maintaining and upgrading them.
Once these wires connect to your house, you own everything but the meter itself: cables, meter box, panel box, ground wires. Together, this is your “electrical service.” When something gets old, damaged, worn out, or needs to be upgraded, the homeowner is responsible for any work that is needed.
Evaluating the Condition & Capacity
The overall condition and capacity of your electrical system is always important, but it’s more important when you’re planning to install an electric car charger. When we come to your home for a site visit, our electricians will inspect the condition and capacity of your electrical service. We have more than 20 years of experience, and have provided numerous service upgrades in Rochester for our customers.
Since we made the decision to specialize in electric vehicle charging, we’ve found that in the greater Rochester area, about 10-20% of our customers’ homes need a panel or a full service upgrade for safe charging. (In most cases these electrical systems are 50 or more years old, which means the service would need an upgrade soon anyway.) As a result, service upgrades have become a strong “co-specialty.”

Safe & Efficient Electrical Service Upgrades
When we evaluate your electrical service for EV charger installation, our goal is to find the best solution for safely charging your electric vehicle. Prior to the installation, making sure that your electrical system can handle the load is essential for safety. An older home with outdated electrical service may not be up to the job. Overloading the electrical system can result in a fire.
