The Thomas Edison difference
Your Folcroft Electricians
When you call a Folcroft electrician from Thomas Edison Electric, you get one of our own employees, not a subcontractor. That electrician leaves from home somewhere in Delaware County in a stocked TEE van. Folcroft Borough, ZIP 19032, sits between Glenolden at 0.7 miles and Norwood at 0.8, with Prospect Park, Sharon Hill and Holmes just past them.
We hold Pennsylvania license PA075449, carry insurance, and run a family-owned company rated 4.8 stars on Google. Reach us at 610-789-8100 day or night.
Aluminum wiring specialists
Warm cover plates and flickering lights in Folcroft usually mean loose aluminum joints, and we fix them properly.
Recalled panels replaced

Local by design
Our electricians are employees who dispatch from their own homes and drive fully stocked TEE vans.
PECO scheduling done

Electrical Work in a 1960 Folcroft Home
Folcroft's median home dates to 1960, which puts it squarely in the aluminum era. Aluminum branch wiring, 100-amp panels, two-prong outlets and recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels turn up often on our calls here. Each has its own fix, and none of them is a reason to panic.
Aluminum connections loosen over time and run warm. We remake them with rated connectors or replace the run with copper. We replace a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel outright, because those breakers can fail to trip. And a 100-amp panel that is out of slots becomes a 200-amp panel with room to grow.
September 2021 matters too. Ida's remnants flooded parts of Delaware County, and a panel that sat in water deserves a look before it fails on its own.
Common Electrical Projects in Folcroft Homes
Three jobs come up again and again in 1960 houses. First, aluminum branch wiring: we open every outlet and switch, remake each joint with a rated connector, and replace runs that have overheated. Second, the panel: a Federal Pacific or Zinsco label means replacement, and a crowded 100-amp panel often means a step up to 200 amps. Third, grounding: two-prong outlets get GFCI protection or a true ground.
After those, Folcroft owners tend to ask for a dedicated circuit for a window AC or a workshop, and a Level 2 EV charger on its own line.
Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Folcroft
Folcroft Borough issues electrical permits under the state Uniform Construction Code, and like most Delaware County boroughs it uses a third-party agency for inspections. Panel replacements and new circuits need a permit. We file it, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector, and the fee is part of the written quote.
PECO Energy Company serves ZIP 19032. For a service upgrade, PECO pulls the meter and reconnects it after the inspection, on a date we arrange. Outages on the block belong to PECO. Anything from the meter into the house belongs to us.

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!!!

Folcroft Electrical FAQs
How can I tell if my Folcroft house has aluminum wiring?
Look at the cable jacket in the panel or at an exposed run in the basement. Aluminum cable from around 1960 usually carries an AL or ALUMINUM stamp. Warm switch plates and flickering lights are other clues. We confirm it on a quick visit and quote the fix in writing.
Is a Federal Pacific panel really a problem?
Yes. Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels sit on the recall list because their breakers can fail to trip under a fault. If your Folcroft panel carries either name, we recommend replacement rather than repair, with its own permit and inspection.
Do you charge extra for night calls in Folcroft?
We answer 24/7, 365 days a year, including holidays, and every job gets a written quote before work starts. So you see the price for a night call before you say yes. If we run late, the dispatch fee comes off.
Can a 100-amp panel handle an EV charger?
Sometimes. A Level 2 charger draws a lot, and a 100-amp panel from 1960 that already feeds central air may not have the headroom. We run a load calculation first. If the numbers fit, the charger goes on a dedicated circuit. If not, we quote the upgrade.
