Wrapped up a garage lighting project for this Harrisburg homeowner. The existing fluorescent fixtures weren't putting out enough light for the workspace, so we added another unit and repositioned the originals for better coverage.

Stopped by this 18103 residence for a panel inspection. The homeowner was experiencing occasional flickering lights and wanted us to check things out.

After tightening everything up and verifying proper function, the flickering problem was solved.

Want better control over your lighting? We installed a Lutron dimmer switch alongside a standard toggle for this Harrisburg homeowner who was tired of harsh overhead lights. The TGCL-153P dimmer works great with most LED and incandescent bulbs, giving you that perfect ambiance. Our tech pulled the old switches, connected the new units using proper wire nuts, and made sure everything was secure before tucking it all back into the box. Tested both switches multiple times to confirm they're working flawlessly. Book your electrical outlet install or switch upgrade with Thomas Edison Electric today.

This 17111 service call involved troubleshooting a meter base issue that was causing flickering lights throughout the home. The Milbank enclosure housing the PPL meter looked fairly new, but we found a problem with one of the service connections inside. After shutting down power and getting utility clearance, we repaired the connection and verified the meter was reading accurately. The conduit and grounding wire running down the brick wall were both secure with no issues. Don't ignore flickering lights in your home.

Completed a thorough panel inspection at this Harrisburg basement location. The Square D panel was well organized with clearly labeled circuits, which made our job easier. We checked the main disconnect for proper operation, tested voltage on the service entrance conductors, and went through each branch circuit breaker individually. A few breakers were getting hard to reset, so we swapped those out with new ones rated for the same amperage. The homeowner now has documentation of their entire panel layout and knows exactly what each circuit controls.

Installed a new duplex outlet at this 17111 property where the homeowner was remodeling their laundry area. The location above the tile backsplash required careful measurement to ensure proper height and alignment. We ran the wiring from an existing circuit, mounted a new work box, and installed a quality receptacle that matched the other outlets in the home. Proper installation in utility spaces matters because these outlets often handle appliances that draw significant power. The finished result looks clean and provides reliable power exactly where they needed it.

Responded to a Harrisburg home for an electrical inspection and discovered a Federal Pacific panel. These older FPE panels have a known history of breaker failures, and this one showed its age with visible wear on the breaker contacts. We documented the condition of all breakers, from the 30 and 40 amp double poles down to the 20 amp branch circuits. The ground bus bar connections looked okay, but we had an honest conversation with the homeowner about replacement options. Concerned about your panel's safety?

Upgraded a standard outlet to a GFCI receptacle for a homeowner in Harrisburg who wanted better protection near a water source. These ground fault circuit interrupters are essential for areas where moisture could create a shock hazard. We removed the old outlet, wired in the new GFCI unit, and made sure that green indicator light came on showing proper function. Tested the trip and reset buttons to confirm the safety mechanism works as it should. The whole job took about thirty minutes and now the customer has peace of mind.

Tackled an outlet replacement at this 17112 home where the old receptacle had stopped working entirely. Pulled the outlet out and found the wiring connections had come loose over time. The blue plastic box was still in good shape, so we reconnected all the wires properly, installed a brand new receptacle, and tested it with our meter to confirm correct polarity and ground. The customer mentioned they'd been using an extension cord to work around the dead outlet for months, so they were pretty happy to have it working again.
