The Thomas Edison difference
When you need a Hatboro electrician, Thomas Edison Electric sends one of its own. Our electricians are direct employees who live around Montgomery County and head out from home in fully stocked TEE vans. Hatboro Borough, ZIP 19040, is home to 8,283 people. Horsham begins 1.2 miles out, Willow Grove 2.1, Huntingdon Valley 3.1 and Abington 3.5. The same crew covers every one of them.
The typical house here dates to 1957, and many still run on the service the builder gave them. We hold PA license PA075449, carry full insurance, and answer 215-227-7000 around the clock, 365 days a year. Every quote comes in writing first.
The main grows to 200 amps and the fuse box becomes a breaker panel, with PECO booked by us.
We match every fuse to the wire behind it, because an oversized fuse lets a wire overheat.
We swap live knob-and-tube in attics and plaster walls for grounded copper and patch as little as we can.
Two-prong outlets get a ground or GFCI protection, room by room, priced in writing first.
Hatboro electricians work for us directly and dispatch from their own homes in stocked TEE vans.
PA license PA075449, full insurance, 4.8 stars on Google, over 37,000 jobs completed since 2021, financing on request.
We're dedicated to building lasting relationships with every client through exceptional service and guaranteed results.

Sixty amps was a generous service in 1957. It fed a range, a few lights and a washer. Today the same house may carry central air, a dryer, a dishwasher, a microwave and two bathrooms with hair dryers. So the main fuse blows on the first hot afternoon of July, and the calls start. A 200-amp service with a breaker panel is the standard fix, and PECO resets the meter when we finish.
Fuse boxes bring a second issue. Someone, at some point, may have replaced a blown fuse with a bigger one. Now the wire behind it can overheat before anything trips. We check the fuse ratings against the wire on every visit.
Knob-and-tube remnants and ungrounded outlets round out the list. Some runs still carry power in attics and behind plaster. Two-prong outlets get a real ground or GFCI protection. We work in Horsham, Willow Grove and Dresher on the same days, in the same vans. Call 215-227-7000 and describe what you see.
The service upgrade comes first in most 1957 houses. A 200-amp panel replaces the fuse box, and every circuit lands on a proper breaker. That one project ends the blown-fuse routine and makes room for whatever comes next, including a Level 2 EV charger on its own circuit.
Rewiring comes second. We trace the knob-and-tube that still carries power and replace it, run by run, with grounded copper. Bedrooms with two-prong outlets get real grounds along the way. Kitchens usually need dedicated circuits for the microwave, the dishwasher and the disposal, since older kitchens often share one circuit among all three.
Then the extras. A ceiling fan on an old box needs a fan-rated box first. An attic fan takes the edge off a summer afternoon upstairs. Whole-home surge protection at the new panel protects everything with a circuit board. And since Ida's remnants flooded parts of Montgomery County in September 2021, a standby generator is worth a conversation.
Hatboro Borough issues its own electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code. As in most of Montgomery County, a third-party inspection agency handles the plan review and the final inspection for the borough. A service upgrade, a rewire or a generator each needs one. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection and stand there while the inspector looks. The cost is part of the written quote you approve up front.
PECO Energy Company delivers power to Hatboro. A 60-amp to 200-amp upgrade means PECO pulls the meter, we swap the panel and service, and PECO reconnects. We book both visits so you are not the go-between. Storm damage to the lines is PECO's repair. Anything from the meter into the house, at any hour, is ours.
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!

Hatboro Electrical FAQs
A compressor pulls a big surge of current for a moment, and a 60-amp service has little to spare. The dimming is the whole house feeling it. A service upgrade to 200 amps fixes it, and the written quote includes the PECO scheduling and the borough permit.
It can, but the fuse box is rarely the real limit. The 60-amp service behind it is. Any fuse that someone upsized over the years puts the wire at risk. We check the ratings, explain what we find and price the replacement in writing.
Often, yes, in attics and inside plaster walls where past electricians left the old runs alone. Some still carry power. We trace them, replace the live ones with grounded copper and leave the dead ones disconnected. An electrical inspection tells you how much is there before we quote.
Yes. We answer 215-227-7000 24/7, 365 days a year, and the electrician who comes is a direct employee who lives around Montgomery County. The van leaves home stocked, so the repair usually happens on that visit.
