The Thomas Edison difference
Every Berwyn electrician at Thomas Edison Electric is a direct employee who starts the day at home, in a TEE van stocked the night before. Berwyn, ZIP 19312, has 3,680 residents in Chester County, with Devon 0.8 miles away, Paoli 2.6 and Malvern 4.0.
The median home here dates to 1961, squarely in the aluminum wiring and recalled panel years. We are a family-owned, multigenerational company, licensed under PA075449 and insured, with over 37,000 jobs completed since 2021. Call 610-520-1300 any hour.
Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels leave, and a 200-amp panel goes in.
Every joint gets a rated connector, or new copper where it makes sense.
Two-prong outlets become grounded or GFCI-protected outlets.
No subcontractors in Berwyn, ever. Our people, our vans, our name on the door.
You see the price on paper before any work starts.
PA075449, 4.8 stars on Google, holidays included, financing available.

We're dedicated to building lasting relationships with every client through exceptional service and guaranteed results.
Our team delivers safe, affordable, long-lasting electrical services.
Your time is precious. If we're late, we'll waive your dispatch fee.
Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Open the panel door and read the label. If it says Federal Pacific or Zinsco, that panel is on the recall list, and we treat replacement as the first job. A 1961 panel is also usually 100 amps, which leaves little room for central air, a dryer and an EV charger together.
Then look at the outlets. Two-prong outlets mean no ground, so a surge strip protects nothing. Warm cover plates and lights that dim when the fridge kicks on point to loose aluminum connections behind the wall.
Valley Forge, King of Prussia and Southeastern share the same crew. Parts of Chester County flooded in September 2021 when Ida's remnants came through, so we look hard at any panel that got wet.

Panel work comes first in a 1961 house. We pull the recalled or overloaded panel and set a 200-amp breaker panel with room to spare. The permit and the PECO meter appointment ride along with it.
Aluminum branch circuits come next. We open every outlet, switch and light box on those circuits and remake the connection with a connector rated for aluminum to copper. Where a circuit is short, new copper is cheaper.
After that, the additions: a Level 2 EV charger on its own circuit, dedicated circuits for a kitchen remodel, and whole-home surge protection now that the outlets have a ground.
Berwyn has no borough government, so the township issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code. In Chester County that usually means a third-party inspection agency reviews the plan and checks the finished work. We handle the application, the scheduling and the inspection visit.
PECO Energy Company serves Berwyn. A panel replacement needs PECO to pull the meter and reset it once the inspector signs off, and we book both. An outage on the street is PECO's problem. Anything from the meter into the house is ours, 24 hours a day.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to fix your electrical problems.

Berwyn Electrical FAQs
Look at the exposed cable in the basement or attic. Aluminum cable carries an AL or ALUMINUM stamp on the jacket, and the bare wire inside is silver rather than copper colored. Flickering lights and warm switch plates are the other clues.
We recommend it. Those panels sit on the recall list because their breakers can fail to trip. Until the swap, keep big loads off it. The written quote covers the panel, the permit and the PECO reconnect.
More of a shock risk. No ground means a fault has nowhere safe to go. Where the cable has a ground wire we install grounded outlets. Where it does not, we add GFCI protection.
Then the dispatch fee comes off the bill. We name a window and keep it, and if we miss it you do not pay for the trip. That holds at midnight on a holiday just like a weekday morning.
