The Thomas Edison difference
Call a Jenkintown electrician from Thomas Edison Electric and one of our own employees arrives, in a TEE van stocked at home that morning. Jenkintown Borough, ZIP 19046, holds 4,727 people inside Montgomery County. Cheltenham is 1.2 miles away, Wyncote 1.3, Glenside 1.5 and Elkins Park 1.8.
We are a family-owned company, licensed in Pennsylvania as PA075449 and insured. The number is 215-947-1400, and someone answers it 24/7, 365 days a year. Ask about financing when you call.
A 100-amp panel upgrade, an exterior meter base, a Square D emergency panel, garage LED lighting and a brass sconce.
Fuse boxes, knob-and-tube remnants and 60-amp services are the borough's usual finds.
When a panel fails at night, a licensed electrician replaces it, not a temporary patch.
Sconces, garage LEDs and kitchen fixtures, wired safely on boxes that can hold them.
Jenkintown crews work for us and dispatch from home, never through a subcontractor.
Price on paper first, insured, rated 4.8 stars on Google, financing available.

Our vans have been busy in the borough. Recent Jenkintown jobs include a 100-amp panel upgrade, a new exterior meter base and a fresh Square D panel on an emergency call. Add LED lighting for a garage and a brass wall sconce. That mix says a lot about the housing here. Older homes need panels and meters brought up to date, and their owners still want the place to look right.
The typical Jenkintown house dates to 1938. A house that old can still hide knob-and-tube in the attic, run on 60 amps through a fuse box and lack a ground at most outlets. Add central air or a car charger and the limits show fast.
Panel and meter work come first. A fuse box or a tired 100-amp panel becomes a 200-amp service, often with a new meter base on the outside wall. PECO pulls and resets the meter, and we schedule it.
Lighting comes a close second. A brass sconce or a row of garage LEDs is simple work. The box behind it has to carry the weight, and the wire needs a ground. Our custom lighting work covers both. Ungrounded outlets get GFCI protection or a new ground along the way.
Jenkintown Borough issues its own electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code. Like most boroughs in Montgomery County, it uses a third-party agency for inspections. A panel swap, a new meter base or a garage circuit each needs one. We file it, book the inspector and stand beside the work during the check. The cost lives in your written quote.
PECO Energy Company supplies the borough. Meter bases and service upgrades need a PECO disconnect and reconnect, which we arrange. Street outages belong to PECO. The panel and everything past it belong to us, 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!

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!

Jenkintown Electrical FAQs
Yes. Recent jobs include a 100-amp panel upgrade, a new exterior meter base, a Square D panel on an emergency call, garage LED lighting and a brass wall sconce. Each came with a written price first.
Yes. A dead panel means no heat, no fridge and no lights, so we treat it as urgent at any hour. One recent Jenkintown call like that ended with a new Square D panel.
Often. A 200-amp service needs a meter base rated for it, and many old ones are not. We replace the base, PECO resets the meter and the borough inspects it.
Yes, once the box behind it can take the weight. We replace the box if needed, ground the wire and mount the fixture straight.
