Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need a permit for a Rochester panel upgrade?
- Yes — Rochester Building Bureau requires a permit and inspection. Most reputable electricians handle the permit and coordinate the RG&E disconnect/reconnect.
- Is knob-and-tube safe in my older Rochester home?
- Functional but obsolete. K&T cannot be insulated over (fire risk) and is uninsurable by some carriers. Remediation is usually phased with attic insulation and panel upgrades.
- Will my Rochester EV charger need a panel upgrade?
- A 240V/50A Level 2 charger draws 11-12 kW. Older 100-amp services and 1990s 150-amp services are usually too tight.
