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.

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.

Mike from Thomas Edison Electric replaced our out-of-service-life whole-house surge protectors and repaired a lighting fixture for our deck. He did an excellent professional job. He didn't try to sell us things we didn't need. I highly recommend Mike.

Absolutely thrilled with our electrician Dennis! He was very knowledgeable and polite. Made this process very easy and stress free. We had two light fixtures put in along with an exhaust fan, cleaned up after and everything. Highly recommend this company and their electrician!

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.
