Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Kempton's median home dates to 1938, some of the oldest housing stock in this part of the county. Knob-and-tube remnants, fuse boxes, 60-amp services and ungrounded outlets are all still common at that age, even where a home has been updated in other ways. A panel upgrade resolves most of it, and we flag anything that reads as an outdated code violation along the way.
Met-Ed, part of FirstEnergy, is the electric utility here, with PPL Electric Utilities covering other areas of Berks County. Met-Ed owns the poles and the meter, and any service upgrade or meter change gets scheduled through them while we handle everything behind it.
Every electrical permit in Kempton has to satisfy Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, same as anywhere in the state, and the township contracts a third-party agency to do the actual plan review and inspection. That part is on us: we file, we schedule, and we're there when the inspector shows up.
Met-Ed supplies power to Kempton, alongside PPL Electric Utilities elsewhere in the county. Replacing an old fuse box with a modern breaker panel usually means a new service size, which requires a scheduled disconnect and reconnect with Met-Ed. We coordinate that timing. Outages on the line are Met-Ed's repair, while the fuse box, wiring and outlets inside stay ours.
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!

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!
