Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
The typical Lehighton home dates to 1942, and it shows. Knob-and-tube remnants, fuse boxes, 60-amp service and ungrounded outlets are still common finds behind the walls. We check the panel first, then trace the wiring, since a fuse box on knob-and-tube rarely stops there.
Our electricians are directly employed, not subcontracted, and the same local crews who work Lehighton also cover Parryville, Jim Thorpe, Ashfield, Bowmanstown, Nesquehoning and Palmerton. Call 610-782-9000 any hour, any day of the year, and get a written price before anyone touches a wire.
Lehighton's 1942 median build year means the panel is usually the first stop. A fuse box or a knob-and-tube remnant calls for a full evaluation, and we often move a home to a modern 200-amp panel in the same visit.
Ungrounded outlets come next, grounded where the wiring allows it or protected with GFCI where it doesn't.
Then the additions a 1942 house never planned for: a home EV charger on its own circuit, or a standby generator with a transfer switch. As a certified Generac dealer, we install those too.
Lehighton Borough issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, working with a third-party inspection agency rather than its own building department. We file the permit, schedule the inspection and stand with the inspector when they arrive.
Most of the county buys power from PPL Electric Utilities, but Lehighton runs its own electric department instead. We check your address first, then coordinate the upgrade with whichever one applies. Outages on the lines are theirs. Everything from the meter in is ours, 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!

Lehighton Electrical FAQs
Check your bill. Lehighton is one of the few Carbon County boroughs with its own electric department alongside PPL. We confirm which applies before scheduling a service upgrade.
Often, at least in part. Knob-and-tube remnants, fuse boxes and 60-amp service are common at that build year. An electrical safety inspection tells you what's left, priced in writing.
Usually, once we check what's installed. A 60-amp fuse box has no room for a Level 2 charger, so a panel upgrade often comes first, sized to the charger you're planning.
Yes, 24/7, 365 days a year, holidays included. Our electricians dispatch from home and arrive in a stocked TEE van ready to finish the job. Call 610-782-9000 whenever the problem shows up.
