The Thomas Edison difference
Effort's Local Electricians
An Effort electrician from Thomas Edison Electric is never a stranger passing through. Our crews are directly employed, dispatching from their own homes across Monroe County in fully stocked TEE vans. Effort sits at ZIP 18330, with Gilbert and Brodheadsville each about 3.8 miles off, and Kresgeville 5.7.
We carry PA license PA075449 and full insurance, answering 24/7, 365 days a year, holidays included. Every job gets a written quote first, and a late arrival waives the dispatch fee.
Employed directly, not subcontracted
Every electrician on the crew works for Thomas Edison Electric and heads out from home in a stocked TEE van.
Late-1980s panels reviewed
Copper wiring is standard, but 100 to 150-amp service often needs a breaker panel upgrade as loads grow.
EV and hot tub circuits
We size dedicated circuits correctly the first time, with a written price upfront.
PPL or Met-Ed, either way
Whichever utility bills your address, we schedule the meter work directly with them.
Ready for winter outages
Ice and wind take down trees most winters, and a sized standby generator keeps the essentials running through it.
Credentials at a glance
PA license PA075449, a 4.8 Google rating, and 37,000-plus jobs completed since 2021.
Committed to Your Complete Satisfaction

Newer Homes, Real Capacity Limits
Effort's housing stock leans newer, much of it built in the late 1980s, so copper wiring is standard and two-prong outlets are rare. The catch is amperage. A 100 to 150-amp panel felt generous back then, and it fills up fast once a hot tub, heat pump or EV charger enters the picture.
Winter storms and downed trees are a regular cause of outages across this part of the county, so we get plenty of generator and surge protection calls here too. PPL Electric Utilities serves Effort, with Met-Ed covering nearby areas. Reach us at 610-782-9000 any time.
Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Effort
Effort's permits route through the township under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code. Like most of Monroe County, the township relies on a third-party agency for plan review and inspections. We pull the permit, schedule the inspector, and handle the walkthrough.
PPL Electric Utilities serves Effort, with Met-Ed present nearby. A panel upgrade or new service means a disconnect and reconnect at the meter, and we set that up. Line repairs after a storm are the utility's job. Everything from the meter inward is ours, any hour.

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!!!
