The Thomas Edison difference
Need a Chester Heights electrician? Thomas Edison Electric's crews dispatch from their own homes across Delaware County in fully stocked TEE vans. Chester Heights Borough, ZIP 19017, sits beside Lenni and Thornton, with Glen Mills and Concordville close by.
We are licensed in Pennsylvania under PA075449, insured, and a family-owned, award-winning company. We answer 24/7, 365 days a year, with a written quote before work starts, and we waive the dispatch fee if we run late.
A 1987 Chester Heights home often needs a larger service before a pool or EV charger goes in.
Straightforward diagnosis, no guessing at old materials.

Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Chester Heights is one of the newer boroughs in Delaware County, with a median build year of 1987. Copper wiring is standard here, so the usual trouble is not old wiring, it is panel capacity running short once a hot tub, pool or EV charger joins the mix.
Our electricians are direct employees, not subcontractors, dispatched from home rather than a distant yard. Call 610-789-8100 any hour.
PECO Energy Company powers every home in the borough. PECO restores the lines; everything from the meter in is ours. Remnants of Hurricane Ida brought flooding and outages across Delaware County in September 2021.

Most Chester Heights calls are about capacity, not condition. A 100 or 150-amp panel from 1987 handled the house as it was built, but a hot tub, a pool heater or a Level 2 EV charger can push it past what it can safely carry.
We measure the actual load before recommending anything. Sometimes a dedicated circuit solves it. Other times a 200-amp panel upgrade is the right call. Either way, you get the number in writing before we start.
Chester Heights Borough issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, working with a third-party inspection agency rather than running its own building department. We pull the permit, schedule the inspector and include both in your written quote.
PECO Energy Company serves the borough. A heavier service or new meter socket needs a disconnect and reconnect at the meter, which we schedule with PECO directly. Line outages are PECO's; everything past the meter is ours.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to resolve your electrical woes.

Mike Van Uiter and Steve came out to replace our main breaker panel after water came in and damaged it. They made sure everything was done professionally and neatly, labeled and easy to read. Mike also took time to answer other questions we had and make sure we were comfortable with how to do the generator hookup.

Klaus, Mike and Jim were amazing in getting power back to my barn. Our previous underground line failed and Thomas Edison was able to get a new line installed and powered all within 2 days of my call. Mike and Klaus worked late into the night to make sure we got power back on. Thanks for a great job!!!

Chester Heights Electrical FAQs
Yes. We answer 24/7, 365 days a year, holidays included, and our electricians dispatch from home in fully stocked TEE vans. Call 610-789-8100 any time.
Often, but it depends on what else draws power in the house. A 1987-era panel was not sized for a charger, a hot tub and central air all at once. We measure the load and quote an upgrade if it is short on room.
PECO owns the lines, so a borough-wide outage is theirs to fix. If your house alone loses power, the issue is usually inside the panel, and that side is ours.
Yes. Pools, hot tubs and spas need their own dedicated, grounded circuit, installed and inspected to code. We check your panel's capacity first and give you a written quote before starting.
