The Thomas Edison difference
Ask around Benton for an electrician and you will hear Thomas Edison Electric, on call every day of the year. We serve all of Columbia County, and our crews dispatch from their own homes in the area. Benton borough carries ZIP 17814, with Stillwater 3.3 miles off, Orangeville 8.2 and Millville 9.2.
Every van is driven by a direct TEE employee, not a subcontractor, stocked and ready before it leaves home. We carry PA075449 and full insurance, and we have completed over 37,000 jobs since 2021. Call 570-648-8800 any hour, weekends and holidays included. You get a written quote before work starts, and we waive the dispatch fee if we run late.

Benton's typical home dates to 1956, an era that often still has knob-and-tube wiring remnants, a fuse box instead of breakers, and 60-amp service. That is not unusual for a house this age, but it is worth an electrical safety inspection if the fuses blow often or an outlet has no ground.
PPL Electric Utilities is the utility for Benton, which keeps the process straightforward. We handle the circuit breaker upgrade when the panel is out of room, plus GFCI protection or grounding for old outlets, and the paperwork PPL needs for any of it.

Benton Borough does not run its own building department. Electrical permits go through Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, with a third-party agency handling plan review and inspection, the standard setup across most of Columbia County.
PPL Electric Utilities serves Benton. A panel upgrade or new service means a scheduled disconnect and reconnect at the meter, which we book directly with PPL. Storm damage to the lines is PPL's job. From the meter into your house, any hour, that work is ours.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to fix your electrical problems.
