Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
The typical Coal Township home dates to 1938. Houses from that era often still have knob-and-tube remnants, a fuse box, a 60-amp service or ungrounded outlets somewhere in the system. None of that is automatically dangerous, but it limits what the house can safely run, and it is worth a look before you add anything major.
Our electricians are on our own payroll, not subcontracted, and they dispatch from their own homes rather than a distant yard. The same crews cover Shamokin and Kulpmont, and everything around them. Call 570-648-8800 any hour, any day, and expect a written quote before the work begins.
PPL Electric Utilities and Citizens Electric Company both serve parts of Coal Township. Whichever one reaches your address, we coordinate the service upgrade and meter work directly with them, so you only have to deal with us.
A 1938 house in Coal Township often still runs on its original fuse box. A handful of circuits do the work that a modern home spreads across a dozen. The projects we handle most here:
Fuse box to breaker panel. Fuses themselves are not the hazard. Oversized fuses and worn holders are. A 200-amp panel upgrade replaces the whole system with room to spare.
Grounding ungrounded outlets. Two-prong outlets were standard in 1938. We add a real ground or code-approved GFCI protection.
EV charger circuits. A dedicated circuit for a Level 2 charger, sized after we check what the upgraded panel can carry.
Standby generators. As a certified Generac dealer, we install and service backup generators with an automatic transfer switch.
Coal Township issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code. Like most municipalities in Northumberland County, it relies on a third-party inspection agency to review plans and inspect finished work rather than running its own building department. We pull the permit, book the inspection and are on site when the inspector arrives, all included in your written quote.
PPL Electric Utilities serves most of Coal Township, and Citizens Electric Company covers the rest. A service upgrade or meter base swap needs a scheduled disconnect and reconnect, and we make that call for you. Outages and downed lines belong to the utility. The fuse box or panel, the circuits and everything inside the house are ours, any hour you need us.
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!

Coal Township Electrical FAQs
Yes. We answer 24/7, 365 days a year, holidays included, and our electricians dispatch from their own homes around Coal Township instead of a distant yard. They drive fully stocked TEE vans, so most repairs finish on the first visit. Call 570-648-8800 whenever the problem shows up, day or night.
Not automatically, but it deserves a look. Fuse boxes and knob-and-tube remnants from 1938 were built for a lighter electrical load than most homes carry today. The real risk comes from oversized fuses or aging insulation. We inspect the whole system and give you a written plan for what needs attention first.
Either PPL Electric Utilities or Citizens Electric Company, depending on your address. Check your bill for the name if you are not sure. It does not change the electrical work we do inside your home, but it does decide who we schedule a disconnect and reconnect with for a service upgrade.
The panel, the grounding and the age of the wiring. A fuse box or a panel with less than 100 amps often comes up in a buyer's home inspection. Our electrical safety inspection covers the panel, outlets and visible wiring, with a written report you can hand to a buyer or an agent.
