The Thomas Edison difference
In Forest City, a Thomas Edison Electric electrician is a direct employee, licensed and local, never a subcontractor passing through. Home to roughly 1,770 people, this borough sits near Union Dale and Clifford, ZIP 18421, inside Susquehanna County.
Our electricians dispatch from their own homes in fully stocked TEE vans, not a central shop. We hold PA075449 and full insurance, and we pick up the phone any day of the year. Call 215-227-7000, and the price is in writing before we start.
Fuse boxes, knob-and-tube wiring and 60-amp service are routine work for our crews.
From downtown Forest City out toward Union Dale, the same local electrician answers.
Every job goes to a Thomas Edison Electric employee, never an outside crew.
Susquehanna County's winters bring outages, and we size backup power for the long ones.
The full price is on paper before we touch a wire.
PA075449, 24/7, 365 days a year, holidays included.
We're dedicated to building lasting relationships with every client through exceptional service and guaranteed results.

Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Forest City's median home dates to 1951. Builders in that decade often used fuses instead of breakers, on 60-amp service. Additions since then sometimes ran on knob-and-tube wiring that stayed in place for decades, and ungrounded, two-prong outlets round out the picture. None of it makes the house unsafe on its own. Still, it is worth confirming with an electrical safety inspection before a renovation.
Our fix for the fuse box is a modern breaker panel, usually 200 amps. We size it for what a household actually runs today. We pull old knob-and-tube runs instead of leaving them behind a new wall, and outlets get a real ground or GFCI protection. The price for any of it is in writing before we start.
Who inspects electrical work here? A third-party agency, hired by the borough. That is the same setup most of Susquehanna County relies on, under the state's Uniform Construction Code. We deal with that office directly, filing the permit and scheduling the inspection. You only have to deal with us.
PPL Electric Utilities is the main utility here. Claverack Rural Electric Cooperative and Met-Ed serve other parts of the county. A service upgrade needs a disconnect and reconnect at the meter, and we book both ends with your provider. Once the utility restores storm-damaged lines, a damaged mast or a wet panel on the house is ours to repair.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to resolve your electrical woes.

Mike from Thomas Edison Electric replaced our out-of-service-life whole-house surge protectors and repaired a lighting fixture for our deck. He did an excellent professional job. He didn't try to sell us things we didn't need. I highly recommend Mike.

Absolutely thrilled with our electrician Dennis! He was very knowledgeable and polite. Made this process very easy and stress free. We had two light fixtures put in along with an exhaust fan, cleaned up after and everything. Highly recommend this company and their electrician!
