Copper wiring is the norm in a 1980 Audubon house, which is good news. The catch is the panel. Builders installed 100 to 150-amp services that suited the loads of the day. Then came the heat pump, the hot tub, the second refrigerator and the electric car. One by one they fill the panel until a new circuit has nowhere to go.
That is why so much of our Audubon work starts with a load calculation. We add up what the house actually draws, and then we tell you whether the existing service can carry the next project. Sometimes it can. When it cannot, a 200-amp upgrade comes first, and the quote for both steps comes in writing.
Our electricians are employees of Thomas Edison Electric, not subcontractors, and they start from their own homes near Audubon, Fairview Village and Mont Clare. PECO Energy Company owns the lines and the meter. The remnants of Hurricane Ida flooded Montgomery County in September 2021 and cut power across the county. That storm is a big reason we bring up standby generators here. As a certified Generac dealer, we sell, install and service them.
