The Thomas Edison difference
Need a Kennett Square electrician? Thomas Edison Electric's crews live around Chester County and dispatch from their own homes in fully stocked TEE vans. Kennett Square Borough, ZIP 19348, sits near Toughkenamon, Unionville and Avondale.
We hold PA license PA075449, carry full insurance, and we're rated 4.8 stars on Google. Call 610-789-8100 any hour of the day. Every price is in writing before work starts, and a late arrival means we waive the dispatch fee.
A 1957 Kennett Square home often still runs on a fuse box. We swap it for a modern breaker panel with real capacity.
Where old cloth wiring still feeds a circuit, we trace it, retire what's live and run new copper.
Most 1950s panels can't carry a modern kitchen and an EV charger. We size the new service to fit both.
Two-prong outlets get a proper ground or GFCI protection, one room at a time.
A service upgrade needs PECO at the meter. We book the disconnect and the reconnect.
Nights, weekends and holidays. If we're running late, we waive the dispatch fee.
We're dedicated to building lasting relationships with every customer through exceptional service and guaranteed results.

Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
The typical Kennett Square home dates to 1957, and houses from that era carry a familiar list. Knob-and-tube remnants still show up in ceilings and old bedroom circuits. Fuse boxes and 60-amp services are common, along with two-prong outlets that were never grounded.
We're direct employees of Thomas Edison Electric, not subcontractors, and we dispatch from our own homes rather than a shared yard. The same crew covers Unionville, Mendenhall and Landenberg. Reach us any hour, any day of the year, holidays included.
Start at the fuse box, if your Kennett Square home still has one. A blown fuse at night means hunting for the right size in the dark, so we replace it with a breaker panel and raise the service from 60 amps to 200 in the same visit.
Next comes the knob-and-tube. It may only feed a ceiling light or two by now, but it has no ground and decades-old insulation. We trace each run, disconnect what's live and replace it with new copper.
A heat pump or a home EV charger often needs headroom a 1957 panel never had, and we check that as part of every upgrade quote.
Kennett Square Borough issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, and like most of the county, it relies on a third-party agency for plan review and inspection. A fuse box swap or a service upgrade both need that permit, and we handle the filing under our own license.
PECO Energy Company is the utility here. Raising a 60-amp service to 200 amps means PECO pulls the meter and reconnects it once the inspection passes, and we schedule both visits so the job wraps in a day. Storm damage on their lines is PECO's to fix. Everything from the meter into your house, at any hour, is 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!

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!

Kennett Square Electrical FAQs
Not automatically, but it limits what the home can carry, and parts for old fuse boxes are getting scarce. Most homeowners upgrade when they add central air, remodel a kitchen or install an EV charger. We'll look at yours and give you a written quote either way.
Some still do, usually in the attic or an untouched bedroom circuit, with no ground wire for real protection. We trace what's still live during an inspection and quote what needs to come out.
Check the neighbors first. If the whole block is dark, that's a PECO outage. If only your house lost power, the issue is likely on your side of the meter, and that's ours to fix any hour.
The panel and the wiring, in that order. A fuse box or a 60-amp service usually means the system hasn't been touched in decades, and knob-and-tube often comes with it. Our safety inspection covers all of it, with a written quote for anything we find.
