The typical Abington home dates to 1956, so half the houses here are older than that. Homes from that stretch often keep a few leftovers: knob-and-tube remnants in the attic, a fuse box in the basement, a 60-amp service and outlets with no ground. None of that is a crisis on its own. All of it deserves a look before you add a dryer, a mini-split or a car charger.
Every electrician who rings your bell in Abington works for Thomas Edison Electric, not for a subcontractor. Each one passed a background check and trains weekly on current code. Because they head out from their own homes, the van in your driveway already carries the breakers, wire and fixtures for most repairs. The same crews handle Wyncote, Huntingdon Valley and Dresher.
PECO Energy Company delivers power to ZIP 19001. Outages and downed lines belong to PECO. Anything from the meter inward belongs to us, at any hour. In September 2021 the remnants of Hurricane Ida sent flash floods through Montgomery County and knocked out power across the county. If your basement took water then, and the panel sits down there, book an inspection. Corroded connections fail later, not right away.
