Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Downingtown's typical home was built in 1968, an era that leaned on aluminum branch wiring, 100-amp panels and two-prong outlets. Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels, both later recalled, still turn up on inspections. None of that means a full rewire. It means a careful look at the panel and the connections before anything else.
PECO Energy Company serves Downingtown, with PPL Electric Utilities covering other parts of the wider county. A service upgrade routes through PECO for the disconnect and reconnect. Storm damage on the lines outside is on PECO. Everything from the meter in is on us, at any hour.
Chester County sat in the path of Hurricane Ida's remnants in September 2021, with flash flooding along the Schuylkill and Brandywine. A generator with an automatic transfer switch, or a whole-home surge protector, is a common ask here since that storm.
A 1968 panel in Downingtown is usually rated for 100 amps, sometimes less. That was enough then. It's tight now once a heat pump, a hot tub or an EV charger enters the picture, so a 200-amp panel upgrade is one of the most requested jobs in town.
Aluminum branch wiring is the other common find. Loose aluminum connections cause warm outlets and flickering lights. We remake those joints with the right connectors, or swap in copper where it makes sense. Two-prong outlets get grounded or GFCI protected along the way.
After that come the additions: a dedicated circuit for a workshop, a Level 2 EV charger, or a standby generator with a transfer switch, a popular add since Ida.
Downingtown Borough issues electrical permits under the state's Uniform Construction Code, and like most Chester County municipalities, it uses a third-party inspection agency rather than its own building department. We pull the permit under our license, schedule the inspection, and handle the inspector's visit ourselves.
PECO Energy Company is the utility for Downingtown. A panel upgrade or meter relocation needs PECO to disconnect and reconnect at the meter, and we set that appointment. Line damage from a storm is PECO's repair. Anything from the meter into the house is ours, day or night.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to resolve your electrical woes.

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!

Had a back up generator installed by Dennis. He did a wonderful job. Dennis is very knowledgeable, thorough, patient and goes above and beyond. Will definitely be using Thomas Edison for all my electrical. Could not be happier.

Technician came out within an hour for an investigation late at night. The same technician came back the next morning and replaced the breaker panel, meter box, and ran new conduit up to the roof for the connections. Did a fantastic job and everything looks great. Thanks Arthur and Malcolm for your hard work!

Downingtown Electrical FAQs
Check the neighbors first. If the whole block is dark, that's a PECO outage, and PECO handles the repair. If only your house lost power, or just part of it, the problem is likely on your side of the meter, and that side is ours. Call us any hour to find out which one it is.
Not always. Aluminum branch wiring and two-prong outlets are common for that era, and both can often be corrected without a full rewire. We check every connection, add proper grounding, and only recommend a rewire when the wiring itself is the problem, always in writing before we start.
Yes. We're a certified Generac dealer, and we size, install and service standby generators with automatic transfer switches. Interest picked up in Chester County after Hurricane Ida's remnants caused outages in September 2021. We quote the unit and the electrical work together, in writing.
Yes. A tripped breaker, a dead outlet or a wobbly ceiling fan gets the same licensed electrician as a full rewire. Our vans carry the parts for routine repairs, so a lot of small jobs finish in one visit, priced in writing before we start.
