Rochester's Trusted Master Electrician
Rochester is home to some of the oldest residential housing stock in Monroe County. Neighborhoods like the 19th Ward, Corn Hill, Park Avenue, South Wedge, North Winton Village, and Charlotte have homes built from the 1920s through the 1970s, many with electrical systems that have not been touched in decades.
Premier Alarms and Electric handles everything from 200-amp service upgrades in older Rochester homes to commercial electrical work for city businesses. Owner and Master Electrician Nate Boehm personally visits every job for the estimate. No phone quotes, no sub-contracting, no surprises.
All Rochester work is permitted through the City of Rochester Building Department. Jobs requiring third-party inspection are arranged and coordinated at no extra charge.
We also provide 24/7 emergency electrical service throughout Rochester with same-day response, and install Level 2 EV chargers for homes and businesses across the city.

Electrical Services in Rochester, NY
Most Common Electrical Work in Rochester Homes
Rochester's aging housing stock means most homes eventually need one of these:
200-Amp Service Upgrades
Rochester's 60- and 100-amp services can't handle modern EV chargers, appliances, or additions. We handle panel, meter, riser, RGE coordination, and inspection from start to finish.
Fuse Box Replacement
Pre-1960s Rochester homes often still have fuse boxes. Replacing them with a modern breaker panel improves safety, usability, and satisfies most insurance requirements.
Electrical Repairs
Tripping breakers, dead outlets, flickering lights, and faulty wiring are common in Rochester's older homes. We find the root cause and fix it correctly.
EV Charger Installation
Level 2 chargers for Rochester homeowners. We assess panel capacity first and upgrade only what's needed — no unnecessary upselling.
Commercial Electrical
Restaurants, offices, retail, warehouses, and light industrial across Rochester. We schedule around your business hours and pass inspection the first time.
24/7 Emergency Response
Electrical emergencies in Rochester are answered the same day, any hour. Power outages, smoking wires, arcing breakers — we answer the phone.
Panel Upgrades & 200-Amp Service in Rochester
Rochester has thousands of homes still running on 60 or 100-amp panels, many of which are now being flagged by insurance companies as inadequate or uninsurable. As EV chargers, electric appliances, and home additions push electrical demand higher, upgrading to 200-amp service is increasingly necessary.
A 200-amp service upgrade from Premier Alarms and Electric covers everything: new Square D panel, meter base replacement if needed, City of Rochester permit, RG&E service coordination, and third-party inspection. Most are completed in a single day.
We also replace Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels, which are common in Rochester homes from the 1960s and 1970s and are known fire hazards that many insurers will not cover.
