Preventing Electrical Failures

When electrical equipment isn’t installed correctly, problems inevitably follow. Professional installation prevents overloaded circuits, loose connections, improper grounding, and other issues that lead to system failures. Our meticulous work includes proper wire sizing, correct circuit breaker selection, and careful connection techniques that minimize the risk of electrical problems developing later. This attention to detail means fewer emergency calls, less downtime, and electrical systems you can depend on day after day.

How do I know if I need an electrical panel upgrade?

Your home likely needs an electrical panel upgrade if you experience frequent circuit breaker trips, particularly when using multiple appliances simultaneously. Other warning signs include flickering lights when major appliances start up, fuses instead of circuit breakers, a panel that’s warm to the touch, or buzzing sounds coming from the box. If your home is over 30 years old with the original panel, or if you’re adding significant new electrical devices like an EV charger or hot tub, an upgrade is probably necessary. Our qualified electricians can evaluate your current panel and power demands to recommend appropriate solutions.

What type of lighting installation is best for energy efficiency?

LED lighting installation offers the highest energy efficiency available today, using up to 75% less electricity than incandescent bulbs while lasting 25 times longer. For maximum efficiency, we recommend integrated LED fixtures rather than simply replacing bulbs. Strategic placement matters too—we position lights to maximize illumination with fewer fixtures. Adding dimmer switches and motion sensors further reduces energy use. During installation, we can also suggest smart lighting controls that automatically adjust based on time of day or occupancy, optimizing both comfort and efficiency for your Rochester home.

Can I install an EV charger at home?

Absolutely! Most Rochester homes can accommodate EV charger installation with proper electrical upgrades. We typically install Level 2 chargers that operate at 240 volts, significantly faster than standard outlet charging. The installation process includes assessing your electrical panel’s capacity, installing a dedicated circuit with appropriate circuit breakers, running properly sized wiring, and mounting the charging unit. We’ll help you choose an optimal location that balances convenience with installation costs. With professional installation, your charger will operate safely and efficiently, typically providing 20-25 miles of range per hour of charging.

Do you offer wiring for home additions and remodels?

Yes, we provide comprehensive electrical wiring services for home additions and remodels throughout Rochester. Our process begins with careful planning of your electrical needs, including outlets, switches, lighting, and specialized circuits. We seamlessly integrate new wiring with your existing electrical system, ensuring consistent performance and code compliance. For remodels, we can update outdated wiring while walls and ceilings are open, bringing older homes up to modern safety standards. Our team coordinates with other contractors to ensure electrical work happens at the right time in your construction schedule.

Is whole-home surge protection worth it?

Whole-home surge protection is absolutely worth the investment. While power strips offer minimal protection for individual devices, whole-home systems guard all your electrical equipment simultaneously. These systems intercept surges at the electrical panel before they can reach your valuable electronics and appliances. With today’s homes containing thousands of dollars in sensitive technology, the modest cost of professional installation provides significant insurance against damage from lightning strikes and utility power fluctuations. The system works continuously, requires no maintenance, and typically lasts 5-10 years—making it one of the most cost-effective protection for your home.

How long does an electrical installation project take?

Installation timeframes vary based on project complexity. Simple installations like adding a few outlets or replacing light fixtures typically take 2-4 hours. More involved projects like ceiling fan installations or smart home upgrades might require 4-8 hours. Major undertakings such as panel upgrades usually take a full day, while whole-house rewiring could span several days or even weeks. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide a realistic timeline based on your specific project needs. Rest assured, we work efficiently without compromising quality, and we always keep you informed about our progress.

Do you install commercial electrical systems?

Yes, Reimer provides complete commercial electrical installation services throughout Rochester.

Our commercial services include power distribution, lighting, data networks, security systems, emergency backup systems, and other electrical equipment.
