24-Hour Electricians Serving Croydon, PA

Because the house is asking for more than the fuse box can give. A 1959 fuse panel with a 60-amp service suits a few lamps and a refrigerator. Run a microwave, a space heater and a hair dryer at once and it gives up. A breaker panel and a larger service fix it for good, with the price in writing before we start.

Yes, nearly always. We install a new panel and meter base, run the new service entrance, and coordinate the PECO disconnect and reconnect. The township's inspector checks it before the power comes back on, and your quote is in writing first.

The panel, the service size, the grounding, every accessible outlet and switch, and any knob-and-tube in the attic or walls. We test GFCI protection in kitchens and baths and look for scorching at connections. Then you get a written report and a quote for anything we found. There is no pressure to do it all at once. Book a safety inspection any day of the year.

Briefly, yes. A panel swap or service upgrade needs the meter pulled, and only PECO can do that. We book the disconnect and the reconnect with PECO so the outage is as short as the job allows. If you rely on medical equipment or a sump pump, tell us when you call 215-227-7000. We plan around it.
