Licensed Electrician in Rockville Centre, NY
Based in neighboring East Rockaway, Viking Electric & Design delivers code-compliant residential and commercial electrical work across Rockville Centre — from 200-amp service upgrades and Level 2 EV chargers to standby generator transfer switches.
Electrical Contracting Tailored to Rockville Centre Properties
Immediately bordering our East Rockaway home base, the Incorporated Village of Rockville Centre is one of Viking Electric & Design’s flagship communities. Rockville Centre is one of the select Long Island villages with its own municipal electric utility—the Rockville Centre Electric Department—which brings distinct meter specifications, disconnect workflows, and attractive electric rates that make Level 2 EV charging and heat pumps especially cost-effective.
At the same time, Rockville Centre’s prized pre-war tudors, colonials, and victorians along DeMott Avenue, North Village Avenue, and Hempstead Avenue frequently still have 100-amp panels, ungrounded cloth BX wiring, and detached rear garages fed by a single 15-amp burial wire. We specialize in upgrading RVC homes to 200-amp service and trenching clean 60A/100A subpanel feeds to detached garages for fast Level 2 EV charging.
Local Housing Stock Profile
1910s–1940s tudors, center-hall colonials, and victorians in the Harvard, Strathmore, and Old Canterbury sections (often with detached rear garages), plus downtown Park Avenue / Sunrise Highway commercial spaces.

Rockville Centre Electrical Questions
- Do you work with the Rockville Centre Electric Department on panel upgrades?
- Yes. Rockville Centre has its own municipal electric utility rather than PSEG Long Island. We coordinate meter pulls, service entrance upgrades, and Village of Rockville Centre Building Department inspections.
- How do you install an EV charger in a Rockville Centre home with a detached garage?
- We either mount a weatherproof hardwired charger on the side of the main house along the driveway, or trench code-compliant underground conduit to the detached garage to install a dedicated garage subpanel and indoor charger.
- Does Rockville Centre’s municipal electric rate make home EV charging cheaper?
- Yes. Because Rockville Centre Electric’s municipal kWh rates are significantly lower than standard Long Island utility rates, installing a Level 2 charger at home in RVC offers some of the lowest per-mile driving costs in New York.
