The Thomas Edison difference
Need a Lehighton electrician? Thomas Edison Electric's crews live around Carbon County and head out from their own homes in fully stocked TEE vans. Lehighton, ZIP 18235, is home to 5,268 people, with Parryville, Jim Thorpe and Ashfield close by.
We're a multigenerational, family-owned company, licensed in Pennsylvania under PA075449 and insured, with over 37,000 jobs completed since 2021. Every quote is written before work starts, and if we run late, we waive the dispatch fee.
Lehighton runs its own borough electric alongside PPL, and we confirm which applies first.
Knob-and-tube remnants, fuse boxes and 60-amp service are familiar work here.

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 fix your electrical problems.

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.
