The Thomas Edison difference
A Cheltenham electrician from Thomas Edison Electric spends a lot of time in houses older than anyone living in them. Census figures for Cheltenham Village put the typical home at 1954. ZIP 19012 sits in Montgomery County, with Elkins Park, Wyncote and Jenkintown all close by, and our electricians cover every one of them from their own homes.
We are family-owned and multigenerational, with over 37,000 jobs completed since 2021 and 4.8 stars on Google. PA license PA075449 and full insurance cover every visit. Call 215-947-1400 around the clock, 365 days a year. You get the price in writing first, and a late arrival waives your dispatch fee.
A 60-amp fuse service in a 1954 Cheltenham home becomes a 200-amp breaker panel, with PECO booked for the reconnect.
We trace the live remnants, replace them with grounded copper and price the work in stages if you like.
Two-prong receptacles get a proper ground or GFCI protection, room by room.

Builders wired a 1954 Cheltenham house for lamps, a radio and an icebox. Today it runs central air, a dryer, a dishwasher and a dozen chargers. The original 60-amp service, the fuse box and the ungrounded outlets did not plan for any of that, and knob-and-tube remnants still hide behind plaster in plenty of homes here.
None of it means the house is unsafe today. It means an honest inspection before the next big appliance. We map the old circuits, measure the service and tell you which upgrades matter now and which can wait, with prices on paper.
Our Cheltenham electricians are employees, not subcontractors, and they also cover Glenside, Abington and Oreland. PECO Energy Company runs the lines. When Ida's remnants flooded Montgomery County in September 2021, PECO restored the power, and we handled the soaked panels inside.
Old houses in Cheltenham call for a sequence. The service first: a 200-amp panel upgrade replaces the fuse box and gives every later project somewhere to land. Then the branch circuits, where we remove live knob-and-tube and ground the outlets. Then dedicated circuits for the kitchen, the dryer and the window units.
After that come the extras a 1954 house never imagined: a Level 2 EV charger, a standby generator, or custom lighting that finally suits the rooms.
Cheltenham is a village, not a borough, so the township issues its electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code. Most Montgomery County townships hand plan review and inspections to a third-party agency. We file, schedule and attend, and the cost sits in your written quote.
PECO Energy Company supplies ZIP 19012. Replacing a fuse box or upgrading the service means PECO pulls the meter and reconnects it after our work, and we book both. Downed lines are PECO's job. The fuse box, the wiring and the outlets inside are ours, at any hour.
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!

Cheltenham Electrical FAQs
Yes. We answer 24/7, 365 days a year. Our Cheltenham electricians live in the area and dispatch from home in stocked TEE vans. Call 215-947-1400 and we come out, holidays included.
Usually not, but it has no ground and cannot sit under insulation. A safety inspection shows how much remains. Then you decide the pace of removal, with prices in writing.
Not safely. Central air, a dryer and a modern kitchen need a 200-amp breaker panel. We upgrade the service, pull the township permit and schedule the PECO reconnect, all quoted up front.
If the street is dark, PECO. If only your house or one room lost power, the fault is inside, and that is ours. Call any hour.
