The Thomas Edison difference
Searching for a Hummelstown electrician? Thomas Edison Electric covers this Dauphin County borough of 4,527 people, ZIP 17036, just 3.4 miles from Hershey and 4.7 from Middletown. Most Hummelstown homes were built around 1965, which usually means aluminum branch wiring, 100-amp panels and two-prong outlets rather than knob-and-tube.
Every electrician we send is a direct TEE employee, never a subcontractor, dispatching from home in a fully stocked van. Call 717-274-2700 any hour, and we'll hand you a written quote before any work begins.
Crews dispatch from home across Dauphin County in fully stocked vans.
Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels are routine swaps for us.
Nights, weekends and holidays, we answer.
No surprise number at the end.

Recalled Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels are common enough in Hummelstown's housing stock that we check the panel brand on nearly every visit. Both were installed widely through the 1960s and 1970s, and both carry a documented history of breakers that fail to trip under fault conditions, which is a real safety issue, not a cosmetic one.
Aluminum branch wiring is the other piece worth watching, especially at outlets that see daily use. We correct loose connections with approved connectors and add GFCI protection in kitchens and bathrooms that never got it. A safety inspection covers both in a single visit.
A recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel is the first thing we check in a Hummelstown home from the 1960s. Circuit breaker repair and upgrades replaces either brand with a modern panel sized to how you actually use the house.
Aluminum wiring at outlets and switches is the next item, usually showing up as a loose connection rather than a full failure. We correct it with approved connectors. For kitchens without enough outlets, dedicated circuits and range, dryer and AC outlets solve the tripping problem for good.
Hummelstown Borough issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, and like most of Dauphin County, it uses a third-party agency for plan review and inspection rather than its own building department. We file the permit and schedule the inspector as part of the job.
PPL Electric Utilities serves most of Hummelstown, though nearby Middletown and Royalton run their own municipal electric systems. We confirm which utility serves your address before scheduling any service upgrade.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to fix your electrical problems.

Klaus and Malcom arrived promptly. They were very courteous and respectful of the property. Their work was excellent and neatly done.. The job was challenging, but they kept working until the everything was completed, which was appreciated. The work done was clearly explained. I will definitely call again whenever we need electrical work done.

Kyle was prompt, helpful, and communicative. We called for emergency service and Kyle arrived within an hour and a half. The actual fix took less than five minutes. The pricing is high, and that's worth being upfront about. Nonetheless, the service was solid and efficient.

I am very happy with the work that Nassim performed in my house today. There were three things on my list and all three were fixed quickly and efficiently. One issue involved a hall light and porch light which had been a problem for years, made worse by a handyman, fixed by Nassim. Highly recommend.

Our electrician Ed S was knowledgeable, professional, efficient, and friendly. He gave us various price options without pressure and then spent hours really hustling to get work done! We will be calling this company again and requesting him specifically. Thanks Ed!

Hummelstown Electrical FAQs
Yes. Our line runs 24/7, 365 days a year, holidays included, and the electrician who answers dispatches from home in a fully stocked TEE van, not from a distant yard. Call 717-274-2700 whenever the problem starts, day or night.
Check the brand printed inside the panel door. Federal Pacific and Zinsco are the two names to watch for, both common in construction from the 1960s. Either one is worth replacing regardless of how the rest of the house looks, since the risk is a breaker that doesn't trip.
Not by itself. Aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s is safe when every connection uses the correct connector, and risky when a connection has loosened over the decades. We check the connections and correct what needs it.
If your whole street is dark, that's PPL's outage to fix, or the borough's if you're on Middletown or Royalton's system. If only your house lost power, the trouble is likely in your panel or wiring, and that call is ours.
