The Thomas Edison difference
The Bala Cynwyd electrician who shows up at your door works for Thomas Edison Electric, lives in the area and drives a stocked TEE van from home. Bala Cynwyd, ZIP 19004, sits in Montgomery County with Merion Station, Narberth and Wynnewood close by. Our crews cover all of them without a subcontractor in the chain.
We are family-owned and multigenerational, with 4.8 stars on Google and over 37,000 jobs completed since 2021. Pennsylvania license PA075449, full insurance, and a written quote before any work starts. Call 610-520-1300 at any hour of any day, and if we run late, we drop the dispatch fee.
Warm cover plates in a 1960 Bala Cynwyd home usually mean loose aluminum connections. We remake them with rated connectors or pull copper.
Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels come out, and a new 200-amp panel goes in, with PECO booked for the reconnect.
New range, dryer and AC outlets on their own circuits for a kitchen the 1960 wiring never planned for.
Background-checked employees who train weekly and leave from their own homes around Bala Cynwyd, Narberth and Merion Station.
24/7, 365 days a year, holidays included, with the same licensed electricians on nights and weekends.
PA license PA075449, 4.8 stars on Google, and financing available when you ask.
We're dedicated to building lasting relationships with every client through exceptional service and guaranteed results.

Bala Cynwyd's typical home dates to 1960, and 1960 left a specific set of clues. Aluminum wiring on the branch circuits shows up as warm switch plates and lights that flicker when the dryer starts. Panels from that period tend to be 100-amp and full. Some carry a Federal Pacific or Zinsco label, and both brands have a recall history that makes replacement the safe call.
So a service call in Bala Cynwyd often starts at the panel door. We read the label, check the aluminum terminations and count the open slots. Then we lay out the options in writing: repair the connections with rated connectors, replace the panel, or both. Nothing happens until you say go.
PECO Energy Company delivers the power to ZIP 19004 and restores it after storms. In September 2021, the remnants of Hurricane Ida flooded Montgomery County and left widespread outages behind. Any panel or outlet that sat in that water deserves an inspection, even if it works today. Our electricians, who also cover Ardmore, Gladwyne and Haverford, do that work at any hour.
Most of what we do in Bala Cynwyd traces back to 1960. Three examples:
Aluminum branch wiring. The wire itself is fine. The trouble lives at the connections, where aluminum loosens over decades. We open every box, remake each joint with a rated connector and torque it. Where a circuit is beyond that, we pull new copper and price it separately.
Panel replacement. We swap a full 100-amp panel, or any Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, for a 200-amp breaker panel. We can ground the two-prong outlets on the same visit if you want it all at once.
Kitchens and driveways. Induction ranges, second ovens and heat pump dryers want dedicated circuits. So does a Level 2 EV charger. Each one starts with the same question: does the panel have the room?
Bala Cynwyd has no borough government of its own, so electrical permits come from the township under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code. As in most of Montgomery County, a third-party inspection agency usually reviews the plan and inspects the work. We handle the filing, the scheduling and the inspection visit, and the fee sits inside the written quote you approve.
PECO Energy Company serves ZIP 19004. A panel replacement or service upgrade needs a PECO disconnect at the meter and a reconnect afterward, and we set both dates. If the whole block goes dark, PECO owns the repair. If the trouble stops at your meter, or one circuit inside, it is ours, 24 hours a day.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to resolve your electrical woes.

I was really impressed with Don and Engeli and the work they performed for me. We had a discussion on the best way to run the new line for the septic pump and I really appreciated the extra effort they made to keep the esthetic of my home's exterior. They were pleasant and professional and all my fans and lights work great! They were patient and waited until I approved everything. A great team!

Had a back up generator installed by Dennis. He did a wonderful job. Dennis is very knowledgeable, thorough, patient and goes above and beyond. Will definitely be using Thomas Edison for all my electrical. Could not be happier.

Technician came out within an hour for an investigation late at night. The same technician came back the next morning and replaced the breaker panel, meter box, and ran new conduit up to the roof for the connections. Did a fantastic job and everything looks great. Thanks Arthur and Malcolm for your hard work!

Bala Cynwyd Electrical FAQs
Yes. Thomas Edison Electric answers 24/7, 365 days a year, and our Bala Cynwyd electricians dispatch from their own homes in stocked TEE vans. Call 610-520-1300 for a tripped main, a burning smell or a dead circuit. The quote comes in writing first. If we run late, the dispatch fee is on us.
Homes from around 1960 are the prime candidates. Pull a cover plate and look for wire that is silver rather than copper colored, or a cable jacket marked AL. Warm outlets and flickering lights are other signs. We can confirm it in one visit and price the repair on the spot.
Yes. Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels have a recall history, and the breakers in them can fail to trip under a fault. Working today is not the same as safe. We replace the panel with a modern 200-amp unit, pull the township permit and book PECO for the reconnect, all in one written quote.
Both. A single dead outlet, a ceiling fan that wobbles, a new dryer outlet: our vans carry the parts for all of it. Bigger projects like panel replacement and EV charger installation get the same written quote and the same licensed electrician.
