Most of Highspire gets its electricity from PPL, but Middletown and Royalton, both close by, run their own municipal electric departments instead of buying from a regional utility. It's not something that affects your house directly, but it's worth knowing which system you're on before a service upgrade gets scheduled.
The aluminum wiring common to 1964 construction is the more immediate issue for most Highspire homes. Loose connections at outlets and switches show up as warm cover plates or flickering lights, and we correct them with approved connectors. A safety inspection tells you where your house stands before anything bigger gets scheduled.
Aluminum branch wiring is the recurring issue in Highspire's 1964-era housing stock. Loose connections at outlets, switches and light fixtures are the usual sign, and we fix them with approved connectors rated for aluminum rather than a wholesale rewire.
Two-prong outlets without a ground are common too, especially in bathrooms and kitchens. We add grounding or GFCI protection where the wiring allows it. For anyone updating a kitchen, range, dryer and AC outlets get added or moved as part of the same visit, priced in writing first.
Highspire Borough issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, using a third-party agency for plan review and inspection, the same setup found across most of Dauphin County. We file the permit and schedule the inspector as part of the job.
PPL Electric Utilities serves most of Highspire, though Middletown and Royalton nearby run their own municipal systems. A panel upgrade means coordinating with whichever utility serves your address.
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!

Had a back up generator installed by Dennis. He did a wonderful job. Dennis is very knowledgeable, thorough, patient and goes above and beyond. Will definitely be using Thomas Edison for all my electrical. Could not be happier.

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!

Highspire Electrical FAQs
Yes. Our line runs 24/7, 365 days a year, and the electrician who answers lives locally and dispatches from home in a fully stocked van. Call 717-274-2700 whenever the problem shows up, holidays included.
It's worth a same-visit look. Warm cover plates often point to a loose aluminum connection behind the wall, common in homes built around 1964. We can correct the connection with approved connectors, usually without opening up the whole wall.
Only if you're on their system rather than PPL's. Most of Highspire is PPL territory, but a few addresses nearby fall under Middletown or Royalton's municipal electric departments instead. We confirm which one applies before scheduling service work.
Yes, once we check the panel. A 100-amp panel from 1964 sometimes has room for a Level 2 charger and sometimes doesn't. If it's tight, we upgrade to 200 amps first, coordinate the utility side, and put both prices in writing.
