Overview

Cellino Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric completed a large-scale electrical system upgrade for homeowner Jamie Lynn Smerka in Orchard Park, NY. The project was designed to improve overall electrical capacity, ensure reliable power delivery, and protect the home during unexpected outages.

 

Our electricians upgraded the home to a 200-amp electrical panel, creating a strong foundation for modern electrical demands. To support this upgrade, the team installed a new 2½-inch PVC underground conduit run, extending approximately 225 feet from the home to the utility pole. This ensured safe, code-compliant power delivery over a long distance.

 

To further enhance reliability, Cellino installed a whole-home backup generator with an automatic transfer switch, allowing the home to maintain power during outages. The project was completed with full electrical panel mapping, giving the homeowner a clear and organized reference for every circuit in the house.

Challenge: Coordinating Power Upgrades and Backup Protection

This project required careful coordination between multiple system upgrades. The long underground utility run demanded precise trenching, conduit placement, and protection to ensure durability and code compliance.

 

Integrating a whole-home generator also required proper load calculations, transfer switch installation, and seamless communication between utility power and backup power sources. Throughout the process, our team worked to minimize disruption while ensuring every component functioned safely and efficiently.

 

Cellino’s electricians planned and executed each phase with attention to detail, ensuring the system was tested thoroughly before final activation.

The completed project delivered a robust, future-ready electrical system with built-in protection against power outages. The new 200-amp panel provides ample capacity for current usage and future upgrades, while the underground PVC run ensures consistent and reliable power delivery.

 

The whole-home generator and transfer switch now provide automatic backup power during outages, offering peace of mind year-round. The detailed panel mapping eliminated guesswork, making future maintenance and troubleshooting simple and safe.

 

Jamie was extremely satisfied with the professionalism, communication, and craftsmanship delivered by the Cellino team.
