The Thomas Edison difference

Your Electricians in Cumberland County

Thomas Edison Electric's Cumberland County electricians cover this territory from their own homes in the region, in fully stocked TEE vans. We are a family-owned company through and through. Whether you are in Carlisle, Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill or Shippensburg, you get the same licensed crew. You also get the same written quote and the same 24/7 phone line.

We work across the whole county, from New Cumberland, Lemoyne and Enola out to Newville, Boiling Springs and Mount Holly Springs. The homes here skew toward the late 1970s. That means a lot of our Cumberland County calls involve ungrounded outlets and tired 100-amp panels. Homeowners often ask whether the service can take an EV charger too. We hold Pennsylvania license PA075449 and carry insurance.

Electrical Service Across Cumberland County

Every electrician we send to Carlisle, Camp Hill or Shippensburg is a direct employee of Thomas Edison Electric, not a subcontractor. They dispatch from home, and their vans carry a full stock of materials. We still book scheduled work carefully so the crew arrives ready for the specific job. If we are late for the window we gave you, we waive the dispatch fee.

Most Cumberland County homes get their power from PPL Electric Utilities. Some areas fall under Met-Ed, and Adams Electric Cooperative serves other parts of the county. Which one you have matters when you change your service. A panel upgrade, a new meter socket or a heavier service drop means coordinating with your utility, and we handle that call. Anything on their side of the meter, like a downed line or a neighborhood outage, is theirs to fix. Everything from the meter into the house is ours.

We also cover the neighboring counties, including Dauphin, York, Perry, Franklin and Adams. So if you have a rental or a relative across the county line, one call covers both.

Common Electrical Projects in Cumberland County Homes

The median Cumberland County home dates to 1978. That puts a lot of the housing stock right in the years when builders used aluminum branch wiring, 100-amp panels and two-prong receptacles. Plenty of those houses have not seen an upgrade since.

These are the jobs we see most often here.

  • Upgrading a 100-amp panel to 200 amps so the house can handle an EV charger, a heat pump or a hot tub. See circuit breaker repair and upgrades.

  • Correcting aluminum branch circuits with approved connectors, or rewiring where it makes sense.

  • Swapping ungrounded two-prong outlets for grounded or GFCI-protected ones.

  • Adding dedicated circuits for kitchen appliances, workshops and window units that a 1970s kitchen was never designed for.

  • Home EV charger installation, which usually starts with a look at panel capacity.

None of this means your house has a problem. It means it is worth a safety inspection if nobody has opened the panel in a while.

Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Cumberland County

Pennsylvania electrical work falls under the state Uniform Construction Code. In Cumberland County, as in most of the state, each municipality handles its own permits. Most townships and boroughs contract that out to a third-party inspection agency. So the process in Carlisle is not necessarily the process in Mechanicsburg or Shippensburg. We know that, we pull the permit, and we schedule the inspection. You do not need to figure out who to call.

Utility coordination is the other half. If you are a PPL Electric Utilities customer, a service upgrade means PPL has to disconnect and reconnect at the meter. We arrange that with them. The same is true if you are on Met-Ed or Adams Electric Cooperative. If the power is out on the whole street, call your utility first. If the lights are out only in your house, call us.

Electrical service

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!

Cumberland County Electrical FAQs

Where do your Cumberland County electricians work from?

From home. Our electricians dispatch from their own houses across the areas we serve, and every one of them is a Thomas Edison Electric employee rather than a subcontractor. Their TEE vans go out fully stocked, so the crew arrives ready with what the job needs. Our 24/7 line works the same here as anywhere else we serve. We also cover neighboring Dauphin, York, Perry, Franklin and Adams counties.

My house in Mechanicsburg has two-prong outlets. Is that dangerous?

Not by itself, but it means those circuits have no ground, which is common in homes from the 1970s. Surge protectors and modern electronics want a ground. Depending on the wiring, we can add a ground, install GFCI protection or run new circuits. We will tell you which option fits your house and budget.

Who do I call about a power outage, you or PPL?

If the whole neighborhood is dark, that is on the utility side, and PPL, Met-Ed or Adams Electric Cooperative should hear from you first. If your neighbors have power and you do not, or only part of your house is dead, the problem likely sits at the panel or inside the walls. That is our job.

Do I need a permit to replace my electrical panel?

In Pennsylvania, yes. Panel replacements and service upgrades count as permitted work under the Uniform Construction Code, and your township or borough's inspection agency will want to sign off. We include the permit and the inspection in the written quote, so there are no surprise fees at the end.
