The typical Havertown home dates to 1950. Houses from that era often still carry knob-and-tube remnants and a fuse box instead of breakers. Many also still run 60-amp service and outlets with no ground. We see all of that on a normal week here, and the panel is the first thing we check.
We handle everyday calls and electrical safety inspections before a home sale. Amperage upgrades come up too, whenever a 60-amp service can't keep up anymore. The same crews cover Broomall, Upper Darby and Bryn Mawr. Call 610-789-8100 any hour, and you'll have a written quote before anyone touches a wire.
Remnants of Hurricane Ida flooded basements and knocked out power across Delaware County in September 2021. Did a Havertown panel or a low outlet take on water back then? If nobody has checked it since, that's worth a look before it becomes a bigger problem.

Start with the panel. A 1950 Havertown house often runs on 60 amps through a fuse box. Fuses that keep blowing usually mean the service is undersized for a modern kitchen. A panel upgrade to 100 or 200 amps solves that once, instead of one blown fuse at a time.
Next, the wiring. Knob-and-tube remnants still turn up in Havertown attics and walls. Outlets with no ground are common too, in rooms that were never updated. We inspect what's there, ground what we can, and replace what we can't.
Then come the additions a 1950 house never planned for. That means more circuits for a renovated kitchen, dedicated circuits for major appliances, or a line for a home office.
Havertown sits inside Haverford Township, and the township issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code. Like most of Delaware County, it uses a third-party agency for plan review and inspections. It doesn't run its own building department. We pull the permit, schedule the inspector and fold both into your written quote.
PECO Energy Company is the utility here. A panel upgrade or new meter needs a PECO disconnect and reconnect, and we handle that scheduling. A wider outage on the street is PECO's to restore. From the meter into the house, at any hour, that's our job.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to resolve your electrical woes.

Mike Van Uiter and Steve came out to replace our main breaker panel after water came in and damaged it. They made sure everything was done professionally and neatly, labeled and easy to read. Mike also took time to answer other questions we had and make sure we were comfortable with how to do the generator hookup.

Klaus, Mike and Jim were amazing in getting power back to my barn. Our previous underground line failed and Thomas Edison was able to get a new line installed and powered all within 2 days of my call. Mike and Klaus worked late into the night to make sure we got power back on. Thanks for a great job!!!

Havertown Electrical FAQs
Yes. We answer 24/7, 365 days a year, including holidays. Our electricians dispatch from their own homes around Delaware County. They drive fully stocked TEE vans, so most repairs finish on the first visit. Call 610-789-8100 whenever the problem shows up, day or night.
Often, yes. A lot of 1950s fuse panels are past their working life or sized at 60 amps, which is tight once you add central air, an electric range or a couple of space heaters. We'll check the box, the service size and what you want to add, then put your options and the price in writing before anything changes.
Maybe. Knob-and-tube wiring shows up often in houses built around 1950, especially in attics and rooms that were never remodeled. It isn't automatically dangerous, but it wasn't built for today's loads and it has no ground. An inspection tells you exactly where it still runs and what, if anything, needs to come out.
Check the street first. If your neighbors are dark too, that's a PECO outage, and PECO handles the repair. If only your house lost power, or specific rooms went dark while others stayed on, the trouble is probably on your side of the meter. That's ours to fix, any hour you call.
