Leola is one of the larger communities in this part of the county, and its homes typically date to 1977. That era means aluminum branch wiring, 100-amp panels and two-prong outlets are common, with a recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel turning up more than homeowners expect.
PPL Electric Utilities serves most of the area, with Met-Ed reaching some addresses nearby. The utility keeps the poles and meter running. Everything past the meter, the panel, the wiring, the outlets, is ours to service.
Thomas Edison Electric hires its own electricians rather than subcontracting the work out, and each one keeps a fully stocked van at home for jobs like circuit breaker upgrades and dedicated circuits.
