Four different electric providers serve Bucks County, and we work with all of them. PECO serves most of the county and is the utility most of our Bucks clients have. PPL Electric Utilities serves other areas, and Perkasie and Quakertown each run their own borough-owned electric systems. If you live in one of those two boroughs, a service upgrade goes through the borough, not PECO. The requirements differ there too. We sort that out on the first call.
Weather is part of the story here. The remnants of Hurricane Ida came through in September 2021. Bucks County saw severe flash flooding, widespread power outages and a tornado that same night. That night is why we talk with Bucks County homeowners about whole-home surge protection. We also recommend backup generators with transfer switches, plus post-flood inspections of any panel or outlet that took on water.
The other half of our Bucks County work is ordinary and important. We handle emergency repairs at any hour, panel replacements, and dedicated circuits for kitchens and workshops. We also handle EV chargers, lighting, ceiling fans, and safety inspections for buyers and sellers. Our crews start the day from home, with the van stocked for the job. We also cover the neighbors. On the Pennsylvania side that's Montgomery, Lehigh, Northampton and Philadelphia Counties, and in New Jersey it's Mercer and Burlington Counties.
