Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Fort Washington's typical home dates to 1968, often with aluminum branch wiring, 100-amp panels and two-prong outlets. A recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel turns up too, and that's usually the first thing we check.
PECO Energy Company is the utility here. PECO restores the lines outside; what a storm leaves behind inside is ours to fix. Remnants of Hurricane Ida caused flooding and outages across Montgomery County in September 2021, worth remembering if your basement took on water.
A 1968 house here often still runs on 100 amps, sometimes under a Federal Pacific or Zinsco label. Swapping a recalled panel for a modern 200-amp panel usually comes first.
Warm cover plates or flickering lights point to loose aluminum connections, which we remake with approved connectors. Two-prong outlets get a real ground or GFCI protection. For newer needs, we add a Level 2 EV charger circuit or a standby generator with an automatic transfer switch.
Fort Washington isn't its own municipality, so the township covering it issues permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, usually through a third-party inspection agency. We pull the permit, book the inspection and handle the walkthrough, inside the quote you approve first.
PECO Energy Company serves Fort Washington. A service upgrade or meter move needs a scheduled disconnect and reconnect, which we arrange. Line damage outside is PECO's repair; everything from the meter in is ours, any hour.
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!

Fort Washington Electrical FAQs
Yes. We answer 24/7, 365 days a year, and our electricians dispatch from their own homes nearby, not a distant yard. They arrive in stocked vans ready to finish the job. Call 215-659-6000 whenever trouble starts.
Usually, once we check the panel. A Level 2 charger needs its own circuit, and a 100-amp panel from 1968 often has little room left. If yours is full or recalled, we upgrade to 200 amps and coordinate with PECO.
Look outside first. A dark street means a PECO outage, and PECO handles that repair. If only your house lost power, the trouble is on your side of the meter, which is ours.
The panel brand and the branch wiring. A Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel needs replacing, not repairing, and aluminum wiring needs every connection checked. Our safety inspection covers both.
