The Thomas Edison difference
A Bethlehem electrician from Thomas Edison Electric is always our own employee, never a subcontractor passed off as one. We cover all six of the city's ZIP codes, 18015 through 18020 and 18025, inside Lehigh County. Allentown is 5.5 miles from the city center, Catasauqua 5.8, Center Valley 6.8 and Coopersburg 8.0, and our crews handle that whole stretch.
We hold Pennsylvania license PA075449, carry full insurance, and have completed over 37,000 jobs since 2021, with a 4.8-star rating on Google to go with it. Every van is fully stocked and leaves from an electrician's own home, not a central yard. The price is written down before work starts, and a late arrival waives the dispatch fee. Call 610-782-9000 any hour, 24/7, 365 days a year.
Every electrician is our own employee, dispatched from home in a fully stocked van.
Knob-and-tube remnants and 60-amp services are common finds across the city's older sections.
From 18015 to 18025, the same crews, quote process and 24/7 line apply.
Service and meter changes route through PPL Electric Utilities, and we book that appointment.
The price is set before a single tool comes out of the van.
Nights, weekends and holidays included, with financing available for bigger projects.
We're dedicated to building lasting relationships with every client through exceptional service and guaranteed results.

Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Bethlehem's typical home dates to 1958, close enough to the surrounding era that familiar problems show up: knob-and-tube remnants, fuse boxes, 60-amp services and outlets with no ground pin. Older sections of the city carry more of it than newer pockets do, but we check every panel the same way regardless of the neighborhood.
Spread across six ZIP codes, Bethlehem covers a lot of different housing, from older rowhomes to postwar single homes to newer construction near the edges. PPL Electric Utilities is the primary electric utility citywide, and any service upgrade or meter change gets scheduled with them directly as part of the job.
We treat every part of Bethlehem the same way: our own electricians, a written quote first, and a 24/7 line behind it. Whether the address is near Center Valley or closer to Allentown, the process does not change.
At a median build year of 1958, Bethlehem homes commonly carry knob-and-tube remnants, fuse boxes, 60-amp services and outlets that were never grounded. Older sections of the city see more of this than newer construction, but we check the panel on every visit regardless.
The projects that come up most in Bethlehem:
Circuit breaker and panel upgrades, typically moving from 60 or 100 amps to 200.
Correcting electrical code violations flagged during a refinance, sale or insurance inspection.
Communication and data line installation for homes wired decades before anyone needed a router.
Safety inspections for buyers taking on an older Bethlehem property.
Whichever ZIP code you are in, the panel tells us where to start.
The City of Bethlehem issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code. As in most of Lehigh County, plan review and inspection go through a third-party agency rather than a city building department running it directly. We file the permit and schedule the inspector as part of every job.
PPL Electric Utilities serves Bethlehem. A panel upgrade, new service size or meter relocation needs a scheduled disconnect and reconnect with PPL, and we arrange that timing so the house is without power for the shortest time possible. A citywide or block outage is PPL's repair. From the meter inward, any hour, that work is ours.
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!

Bethlehem Electrical FAQs
All of them. We serve 18015, 18016, 18017, 18018, 18020 and 18025 the same way, with the same employee electricians, written quotes and 24/7 line. Where in the city you live does not change how we staff or price the job.
Not always a full rewire. Many code violations come down to a few outlets, a missing ground or an outdated panel label. We inspect first, then quote exactly what needs correcting rather than assuming the worst.
Yes. Communication and data line installation is common in homes built before anyone planned for a router or a home office, and we route new lines without tearing into walls more than necessary.
Check the street first. If the outage covers your block or more, that is PPL's repair. If only your home lost power, or part of it did while the rest of the house works fine, the trouble is likely on your side of the meter, which we handle any hour.
