The Thomas Edison difference
A Haverford electrician from Thomas Edison Electric is a direct employee, not a subcontractor. Each one lives close enough to leave from home in a fully stocked TEE van. Haverford, ZIP 19041, sits in Montgomery County. Ardmore is 1.9 miles away, Wynnewood 2.5, Narberth 3.2 and Merion Station 3.7, and one local crew covers them all.
The typical home here dates to 1950, so our vans carry grounded receptacles, breaker panels and the patience old plaster demands. We hold PA license PA075449 and full insurance. Call 610-520-1300 at any hour, 365 days a year. Every price comes in writing before the work.
A 200-amp breaker panel replaces the fuse box, with PECO booked by us.
We find live knob-and-tube in attics and walls and replace it with grounded copper.
Two-prong outlets get a true ground or GFCI protection, priced per room.
If a home inspector's report lists code violations, we fix the list under one written quote.
Haverford crews work for us, dispatch from their own homes and drive stocked TEE vans.
Insured, 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.

Fuse boxes and 60-amp services are the standard finds in a 1950 house. They ran the home fine for decades, and then central air arrived. A 60-amp service cannot run air conditioning, a dryer and an electric range at the same time. So the main fuse blows on the first humid afternoon. The fix is a 200-amp service with a breaker panel, and PECO resets the meter when we finish.
Above the basement, the story is knob-and-tube. Past electricians often left the old runs in place and spliced new cable onto them, so some still carry power inside the plaster. Two-prong outlets with no ground fill the bedrooms. We trace the live runs, replace them with grounded copper and give every outlet a ground or GFCI protection.
Ida's remnants flooded parts of Montgomery County in September 2021. A fuse box that sat in water then may be a hazard now, and an inspection settles the question.
Service upgrades come first. The fuse box and the 60-amp service go, a 200-amp breaker panel goes in, and every circuit lands on a breaker sized for its wire. One project ends the fuse shopping and leaves room for an EV charger or a heat pump later.
Rewiring follows. We work from the attic and basement wherever we can, fish cable down inside the walls and open plaster only near boxes. We ground the outlets in the same pass. Kitchens usually need a proper range or dryer outlet on its own circuit, since a 1950 house rarely came with one.
Then the punch list. A home inspection report on a 1950 house often lists open splices, missing GFCIs, double-tapped breakers and cloth-covered wiring in the basement. We clear the code violations as one job with one written price, and we leave a report the buyer or seller can hand over.
Haverford is a postal address rather than a borough, so your township issues the electrical permit under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Most townships in Montgomery County contract the inspections to a third-party agency, and the details vary by township. We know which one covers your street. We file the permit, schedule the inspection and stand with the inspector, and the fee is inside your written quote.
PECO Energy Company delivers power to ZIP 19041. Replacing a fuse box means PECO pulls the meter first and reconnects it when we finish, and we book both visits. When the whole block goes dark, that is PECO's repair. When only your house does, the fault is usually on our side of the meter, and we answer at any hour.
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!

Haverford Electrical FAQs
Many do, and many still work. The problem is the 60-amp service feeding it, which cannot carry central air and a modern kitchen together. We replace the box and the service as one job, coordinate the meter with PECO and pull the township permit.
Dead runs can stay disconnected in the walls. Live runs are the concern, since the insulation is old and the wiring has no ground. We trace them, replace what carries power and leave the rest cold. An electrical inspection tells you how much is there.
Because a 1950 house has had seventy years of small changes, and inspectors flag every open splice and missing ground. Most items are quick fixes. We price the whole list in one written quote and clear it in as few visits as we can.
Yes. The crew that covers Haverford lives around Montgomery County and dispatches from home, so Ardmore, Wynnewood, Narberth and Gladwyne fall on the same routes. Call 610-520-1300 at any hour, holidays included.
