Across Monroe County, copper wiring is the norm, but the 100 to 150-amp panels installed alongside it were not sized for today's electronics, let alone a hot tub or an EV charger. In a lake community like this one, we see a lot of panels asked to do more than they were built for.
PPL Electric Utilities serves Blakeslee, so any service or meter upgrade is scheduled through them. A whole-home generator with an automatic transfer switch is a common request here, and dedicated circuits keep a hot tub or dock heater from tripping the main panel.
Winter storms and downed trees are a regular cause of long outages around Blakeslee, which is exactly the kind of call our crews are set up to handle fast.
