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.

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.

Mike Van Uiter was excellent! He was personable, thorough, knowledgeable, proactive, respectful of my property, and he cleaned up every area involved. He explained everything to me and was very patient and helpful. I’m beyond pleased. I’ll be requesting him for any future projects.

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!!!
