Cochranville's typical home dates to 1961, an age that often comes with aluminum branch wiring, 100-amp panels and two-prong outlets. Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels, both recalled, still turn up too. We check the panel brand first and quote any panel upgrade in writing. A dedicated circuit for a workshop is a common add-on too.
PECO Energy Company serves this part of the county, with PPL Electric Utilities covering other areas. A service upgrade means a disconnect and reconnect at the meter, and we schedule that.
In September 2021, Hurricane Ida's remnants left parts of Chester County flooded along the Schuylkill and Brandywine. A panel that took on water is worth a look, even if it still powers the house.
