Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Most calls in Essington are not dramatic. A breaker that trips too often, a dead outlet in the kitchen, a ceiling fan that wobbles. Those are the everyday jobs our vans are stocked for.
Across Delaware County, older houses still turn up knob-and-tube remnants, a fuse box instead of breakers, 60-amp service, or outlets with no ground. We treat all of it as routine, not a surprise.
A 200-amp panel upgrade fixes a lot of that in one visit, and an electrical safety inspection is worth booking before you add a home EV charger. After the 2021 Ida flooding hit Delaware County, we also check any panel that took on water.
Essington's permits go through the township under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code. Like most of Delaware County, the township works with a third-party inspection agency rather than running its own building department. We pull the permit, schedule the inspector and fold both into your written quote.
PECO Energy Company supplies the power here. For a panel upgrade or new meter, PECO disconnects and reconnects at the meter while we do the work in between. Outages that hit the whole street are PECO's to fix. Everything from the meter into the house is ours, any hour of the day.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to resolve your electrical woes.

We have an older Casablanca fan, it stopped functioning properly. Thomas Edison sent an electric technician out in two days. Nassim found the problem in the wall switch. I was given the opportunity to find a replacment switch . Once I secured the switch they were out in a few days. Installation was completed within an hour. Will use Thomas Edison again .

Our technician Dennis did an amazing job installing a new circuit panel and new outlets for us. We are so grateful and so happy to be able to plug multiple things in without tripping the breaker. Our lights also look so much brighter. Thank you so much! Very professional, very knowledgeable and estimates are fairly priced compared to the others around the area. Very happy overall. Highly recommend.

Personable knowledgeable friendly. Mike V made sure I was educated and up to par on what I needed and more importantly what I did not need as another company was trying to sell me things I did not need . Very happy with the results.

Outstanding company, they are incredibly detailed without any surprises. My electrician Michael took his time pointing out areas that needed to be updated. My home is 30 years old and codes change. Michael gave me easy to understand options and im happy to give Edison my business. I would highly recommend them, ask for Michael incredibley knowledgeable.
