The Thomas Edison difference

Riverton Electricians for a Historic Borough

Riverton electricians from Thomas Edison Electric cover both of the borough's ZIP codes, 08076 and 08077, along with Maple Shade and Moorestown close by in Burlington County. Our crews dispatch from home in fully stocked TEE vans rather than commuting in.

We hold New Jersey license 34EB01791600, carry full insurance, and every electrician is a direct employee. We have completed over 37,000 jobs since 2021. The price comes in writing first, we answer around the clock, and a late arrival means we waive the dispatch fee.

Direct employees, stocked vans

Riverton calls go to our own electricians, never a subcontractor.

Riverton's 1938 Housing Stock

Riverton's median home dates to 1938, among the oldest building stock we work with in Burlington County. Knob-and-tube remnants, fuse boxes instead of breaker panels, 60-amp services and outlets with no ground are all still common in a borough this age.

A fuse box from this period was never sized for a modern kitchen, central air and a car charger running together, and a mismatched fuse size can mask an overload instead of preventing one. We replace fuse panels with modern equipment sized to the home's real load.

Riverton sits in the same storm path as the rest of the county, with nor'easters and tropical remnants moving through and flooding on record along the Rancocas Creek watershed nearby.

Common Electrical Projects in Riverton Homes

Riverton's older housing stock means fuse box conversions and knob-and-tube remnants come up often. We swap fuse panels for modern breakers, frequently jumping from 60 amps up to 200, and ground outlets installed with no ground at all.

We also handle lighting safety checks for older fixtures and safety inspections before a sale. Given the borough's flood exposure, a basement panel that has taken water deserves a real look, not a wipe-down and a reset.

Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Riverton

A fuse box swap in Riverton is two projects stitched together. On the borough side, the municipal construction office reviews the permit under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code, and we handle that under our own license, inspection included.

On the utility side, PSE&G briefly disconnects and reconnects service at the meter before the new panel goes live, and we set that appointment up directly. Once the meter is live again, everything behind it, at any hour, is our responsibility, not theirs.

Outlet & GFCI repair

Jimmy made the service call easy. After describing our issue, 2 min max, he already knew what was wrong. He quickly identified, found, and fixed the offending GFI. After years of using Thomas Edison Electric we always refer them to friends and family.

Riverton Electrical FAQs

Do you serve both Riverton ZIP codes?

Yes, 08076 and 08077 both get the same local electrician, dispatching from home. Call 800-380-6800 to confirm the visit.

My Riverton house has a fuse box. Is it worth replacing?

Usually, yes. A 1930s fuse box was not designed for today's load, and the wrong fuse size can hide an overload. We convert it to a modern panel, permit included.

What does knob-and-tube wiring look like in an older home?

Ceramic knobs and tubes routing individual wires through framing, common before the 1950s. Remnants often remain in Riverton attics. We identify what is still active and what removing it would take.

Who do I call after a storm floods my basement?

If water reached your panel, call us before resetting any breaker. Corrosion inside electrical equipment can cause failures after the water is gone. PSE&G handles downed lines, but the house is our repair.
