Electrical Work in Lehman's 1970s Homes

The typical Lehman home dates to 1978. Builders leaned on aluminum branch wiring then, plus 100-amp panels and two-prong outlets. Some homes still carry a recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel.

We check the panel brand first on every visit, since a recalled panel is a safety concern, not a maintenance item. Aluminum connections get remade with the right hardware, or we pull new copper where that makes more sense. A 200-amp panel upgrade clears out a tired 100-amp service and makes room for a home EV charger or central air.

Common Electrical Projects in Lehman Homes

A 1978 Lehman house was built for a smaller electrical load than most homes carry now. The panel is usually where we start.

A label reading Federal Pacific or Zinsco means replacement, not repair. A 100-amp service that trips often is a candidate for circuit breaker repair and upgrades. Aluminum branch wiring needs its connections checked and remade with the right hardware.

Once the panel has room, a home EV charger or backup generator becomes simple to add. We're a certified Generac dealer too.

Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Lehman

Lehman Township handles its own permitting, and Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code sets the rules statewide. Rather than staff a full building department, most townships bring in a third-party agency to review plans and inspect finished work, and Lehman follows that pattern. We take care of filing and meet the inspector on site.

PPL Electric Utilities runs the lines through most of the township, with UGI Electric and Claverack Rural Electric Cooperative reaching a few pockets nearby. When a job calls for a new service or meter base, we set up the disconnect and reconnect on the utility's schedule. Outages and downed lines belong to the utility. Everything from the meter in is ours, any hour you call.

Electrical service

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!

Lehman Electrical FAQs

Is there a 24-hour electrician for Lehman Township?

Yes. We answer calls around the clock, 365 days a year, holidays included. Electricians dispatch from home in fully stocked TEE vans, so a Lehman call gets a real person. Expect a written quote before work starts.

Can a 1978 Lehman panel handle an EV charger?

Often, once we check the load. A 100-amp panel from that era can be tight with a Level 2 charger added. If yours is full or a recalled brand, a 200-amp upgrade solves both, priced in writing first.

Who do I call when the power goes out in Lehman?

Check your neighbors first. A dark street means a utility outage, handled by PPL, UGI or Claverack. If only your house lost power, the trouble likely sits on your side of the meter, and that call is ours.

What should an inspection catch in an older Lehman house?

The panel brand and wiring type matter most. A Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel needs replacing, and aluminum wiring needs every connection checked. Our electrical safety inspection covers both, quoted in writing.
