Ellenwood Electric - Rochester's Local Electrical Services

Our electrical inspections thoroughly assess your home's wiring, breaker panels, outlets, and safety systems to identify any issues or code violations. Given Rochester's many older homes, we pay special attention to grounding systems, panel capacity, and potential overload risks. We provide clear recommendations for repairs or upgrades to ensure your electrical system is safe and functional.

We frequently address breaker panel overloads and improper grounding in Rochester's older housing stock. For overloads, we evaluate your current electrical demands and may recommend a service panel upgrade to safely handle modern appliances. For grounding issues, we install or repair proper grounding systems to protect against electrical shocks and meet local codes. Our approach minimizes disruption to your home's structure.

With over 35 years specializing exclusively in existing homes, we've developed extensive expertise in 'old work' installations. Founder Mark Ellenwood has been a Rochester Master Electrician for over two decades, and we use specialized tools to work through drywall, plasterboard, and lathe-and-plaster with minimal wall repairs. This focus allows us to efficiently handle upgrades, remodels, and repairs while preserving your home's interior.
