Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Street after street of Drexel Hill went up around 1949, in the classic postwar wave that shaped so much of the county. That vintage usually means a 60-amp fuse box, knob-and-tube segments here and there, and outlets that never got a proper ground.
Because our electricians dispatch from home instead of one shop, several crews are typically working somewhere in Drexel Hill, Havertown or Springfield on any given day. Dial 610-789-8100 to reach one.
PECO Energy Company runs the grid across Drexel Hill; a downed line or blackout on the block is theirs to fix, while the panel and wiring past your meter are ours. Delaware County took on serious flooding when Hurricane Ida's remnants moved through in September 2021, so a basement that flooded then deserves another look now, even years later.
A fuse box rated at 60 amps is still a routine find in Drexel Hill, and swapping it for a breaker panel upgrade at 100 or 200 amps is one of our most common jobs here.
Behind that, knob-and-tube segments and two-prong outlets show up in sections of the house that missed a full rewire. We ground what can be grounded and add GFCI protection in the rooms that need it most, kitchens, baths and basements.
After the essentials are covered, homeowners often add a dedicated circuit for an office or workshop, or get ahead of an EV purchase with a panel sized to handle a charger later.
Drexel Hill is not its own incorporated municipality, so its township handles the electrical permitting, following Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code and, like most townships in the county, relying on an outside agency for plan review and inspections. We take the whole process off your hands, permit through sign-off, and include it in your written quote.
PECO Energy Company is the utility across Drexel Hill. Upgrading a service or relocating a meter both require PECO to disconnect and reconnect at their end, which we schedule directly. A line down on the street is PECO's job. Anything past the meter, any hour, is ours.
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!

Drexel Hill Electrical FAQs
Yes, every night. We are staffed 24/7, 365 days a year, and the electrician who responds dispatches from their own home nearby, not a distant shop. They show up in a fully stocked TEE van ready to solve the problem on that visit. Call 610-789-8100.
A lot of 1949-era homes here still do, and most have outgrown it, especially once central air, a home office or an EV charger enters the picture. We will assess the box and the service size, then lay out your options with a written price for each.
PECO owns and restores the poles and lines, so a wider outage is on them. A problem limited to your house alone usually means something inside the panel or wiring, which falls to us. Call either way and we will point you to the right fix.
Yes, and it is a frequent request after storms roll through. As a certified Generac dealer, we size a standby unit to your panel, install the automatic transfer switch, and give you a written quote before any work begins.
