Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Dillsburg has newer housing than much of York County, with a median build year of 1983. Copper wiring is the norm here, so the usual problem is not old wiring, it is a maxed-out panel. A 100 to 150-amp panel runs out of room fast once a heat pump, hot tub or EV charger joins the load.
Met-Ed is the utility name on most Dillsburg bills, with PPL, PECO and Adams Electric Cooperative filling in the rest of York County. Our electricians already cover Franklintown and Wellsville as part of the same route. Call 717-274-2700 any time.
A Dillsburg house from 1983 rarely has the old-wiring problems seen in older boroughs. Copper wiring is standard, and most outlets are already grounded. The question instead is capacity.
A 100 to 150-amp panel was plenty in 1983. It is not always enough once a heat pump, a hot tub or a Level 2 EV charger joins the load. We run a load calculation and, where needed, a panel upgrade with room for what comes next, plus a generator transfer switch if you want one.
Panel upgrades in Dillsburg are usually planned work, not emergencies, since the housing stock is newer than most of York County. Dillsburg Borough issues permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, typically through a third-party agency rather than its own building department. We file the permit and set the inspection date first.
Met-Ed handles service in Dillsburg, while PPL, PECO and Adams Electric Cooperative cover other stretches of York County. A capacity upgrade means a disconnect at the start and a reconnect once inspected, both scheduled by us.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to resolve your electrical woes.

Absolutely thrilled with our electrician Dennis! He was very knowledgeable and polite. Made this process very easy and stress free. We had two light fixtures put in along with an exhaust fan, cleaned up after and everything. Highly recommend this company and their electrician!

Jimmy made the service call easy. After describing our issue, 2 min max, he already knew what was wrong. He quickly identified, found, and fixed the offending GFI. After years of using Thomas Edison Electric we always refer them to friends and family.

Had a great experience with Michael Van for my initial inspection/walk-through and Steve P and the crew with the install. All of them, including the employees on the phone, were polite and prompt, and I'm very satisfied with my new electrical panel and wiring.

Dillsburg Electrical FAQs
Often, but not always. A 100 to 150-amp panel from that era has less spare room than expected once a heat pump or hot tub is already on it. We run a load calculation first.
Capacity, mostly. The wiring is usually sound copper, not the aluminum or knob-and-tube found in older York County boroughs. The common call is a panel running out of room, not a safety repair.
Yes. We are a certified Generac dealer and install standby generators with an automatic transfer switch, sized to your panel, often alongside a panel upgrade.
Yes. We answer 24/7, 365 days a year, holidays included, and the electrician on call lives in the area. Call 717-274-2700 for a real arrival window.
