The Thomas Edison difference
Hallstead's electricians at Thomas Edison Electric know this borough's 1949 wiring on sight: fuse boxes, knob-and-tube, the works. Hallstead, ZIP 18822, is home to about 1,217 people, near New Milford and Lanesboro, inside Susquehanna County.
Every electrician on the team is a direct hire, never a subcontractor, driving a fully stocked TEE van out from home. PA075449, insured, and on call through nights, weekends and holidays alike. Reach us at 215-227-7000 for a written quote first.
Knob-and-tube wiring, fuse boxes and 60-amp service are routine work for our crews.
The same local electrician covers Hallstead's streets and the roads just outside town.
No subcontractors, ever. Every van is driven by a Thomas Edison Electric employee.
Susquehanna County's winters bring outages, and we size backup power for the long ones.
The full price is set before we start, one outlet or a full panel.
Insured for every job, answering the phone 365 days a year.
We're dedicated to building lasting relationships with every client through exceptional service and guaranteed results.

Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
At 1949, Hallstead's median home predates most of the county's housing stock by a couple of decades. Expect a fuse box rather than breakers, 60-amp service, and outlets without a ground path in rooms that have not been updated. Some houses still carry knob-and-tube wiring behind the walls from the original build.
A breaker panel replaces the fuse box, and 200 amps is the standard upgrade size for a house this age. We ground what needs grounding and check older light fixtures still tied to the original wiring while we are there.
Ask which utility serves Hallstead and the answer is usually PPL Electric Utilities, though Claverack Rural Electric Cooperative and Met-Ed cover other parts of Susquehanna County. A panel upgrade needs a scheduled disconnect and reconnect at the meter, and we book that directly with your provider.
Permits follow Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code here too. Hallstead Borough contracts a third-party agency for plan review and inspection rather than running its own department, the same as most of the county. We manage the filing and the inspection from start to finish, and a job is not done until it passes.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to resolve your electrical woes.

I was really impressed with Don and Engeli and the work they performed for me. We had a discussion on the best way to run the new line for the septic pump and I really appreciated the extra effort they made to keep the esthetic of my home's exterior. They were pleasant and professional and all my fans and lights work great! They were patient and waited until I approved everything. A great team!

Technician came out within an hour for an investigation late at night. The same technician came back the next morning and replaced the breaker panel, meter box, and ran new conduit up to the roof for the connections. Did a fantastic job and everything looks great. Thanks Arthur and Malcolm for your hard work!
