Your Darby Electricians
Looking for a Darby electrician? Thomas Edison Electric's crews live around Delaware County and dispatch from their own homes in fully stocked TEE vans. Darby Borough, ZIP 19023, is tightly built and long established, with Sharon Hill, Lansdowne and Glenolden all close by.
Insurance, a Pennsylvania license under PA075449, and a family-owned name stand behind every job. Call any time, day or night, 365 days a year, and expect the price in writing before anyone picks up a tool. Running late costs us the dispatch fee, not you.

Electrical Service Across Darby
Rowhomes and twins make up most of Darby, and the wiring inside them reflects a 1949 build year. Fuse boxes rated at 60 amps, knob-and-tube segments and outlets with no ground still turn up regularly when we open a panel here.
Every electrician on our Darby routes is a direct hire, dispatched from home rather than a company yard, so the borough gets covered like any other part of the county. The line is 610-789-8100, answered any hour.
PECO Energy Company keeps the lights on across the borough from the pole to the meter; past that point, the panel and everything downstream is ours to maintain. Hurricane Ida's remnants flooded parts of Delaware County in September 2021, and any Darby basement that saw water that night is worth a fresh look.
Common Electrical Projects in Darby Homes
Most Darby projects trace back to the same root cause: a 60-amp fuse box that has outlived what the household actually needs. We size and install a breaker panel upgrade, usually landing at 100 or 200 amps depending on the home.
Behind the walls, knob-and-tube segments and outlets with no ground are common in rowhomes that were never fully opened up. We trace what is still active, retire the rest, and add grounding or GFCI protection where it counts.
A sale or refinance often turns up electrical code violations built up from small changes over the years. We put together a written scope and clear the list before closing gets held up.
Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Darby
Darby Borough runs its own permitting for electrical work, following Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, and like most boroughs its size, contracts the plan review and inspections out to a third party rather than staffing that in-house. We file the permit, coordinate the inspector's visit, and roll both into your written quote.
Power in Darby comes from PECO Energy Company. A new service or meter relocation means PECO has to disconnect and reconnect at their end, and we set that appointment for you. If the outage is on the pole, that call goes to PECO. If it is anywhere past your meter, that call comes to us, day or night.

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!!!

Darby Electrical FAQs
How fast can I get an electrician in Darby?
We do not promise a specific arrival time, since traffic and the job ahead of yours are both real, but we do answer 24/7, 365 days a year, and our electricians dispatch from their own homes nearby rather than a faraway shop. If we miss the window we give you, we waive the dispatch fee. Call 610-789-8100.
My Darby rowhome still has knob-and-tube wiring. What do I do?
Have it checked before assuming the worst. Some knob-and-tube runs are already dead and just need removing; others are still live and need real attention. We trace the circuits, explain plainly what is safe and what is not, and put any recommended work in writing.
Who fixes a power outage in Darby, PECO or you?
PECO owns the poles and lines, so anything affecting the whole block is theirs to restore. A problem confined to one house almost always sits inside the panel or wiring, which is our side of things. Either way, call us and we will help you figure out where the fault actually is.
What comes up on inspection in an older Darby home?
Ungrounded outlets, a maxed-out fuse box and leftover knob-and-tube segments top the list on most 1949-era homes. A safety inspection finds these before a buyer's inspector does, and every recommended fix comes with its own written price.
