The Thomas Edison difference

Lewistown Electricians Who Live Here

A Lewistown electrician from Thomas Edison Electric works for us directly, never as a subcontractor. Our crews live around Mifflin County and head out each morning in fully stocked TEE vans. Lewistown is the county seat and carries ZIP code 17044, with Burnham, Yeagertown and Granville just a few miles out.

Ours is a family-owned, multigenerational company, licensed in Pennsylvania under PA075449 and fully insured. We take calls 24/7, 365 days a year, holidays included, and every quote is in writing before work begins. Show up late and we waive the dispatch fee ourselves.

County seat, one crew

Lewistown and its ZIP, 17044, get the same electricians who also cover Burnham and Yeagertown, not a rotating cast.

1938 wiring, no guesswork

Fuse boxes, knob-and-tube remnants and ungrounded outlets are routine calls for us, priced honestly upfront.

Three utilities, one point of contact

PPL, Penelec or Valley Rural Electric, we coordinate the meter work either way.

No subcontractors

Every electrician on a Lewistown job is our own employee, dispatched from home in a stocked van.

Quotes before the work starts

You approve the price in writing, then we begin, not the other way around.

Licensed, insured, financing available

PA075449, 4.8 stars on Google, and flexible payment options on request.

Wiring That Matches Lewistown's Age

Lewistown's median home was built in 1938, which means fuse boxes, knob-and-tube remnants and 60-amp services are still part of daily work here. Ungrounded two-prong outlets show up just as often, especially in kitchens that haven't been touched since. We start every visit by opening the panel, because that's usually where the real story is.

Three utilities serve Mifflin County. PPL Electric Utilities covers most of Lewistown, Penelec covers other pockets, and rural members belong to Valley Rural Electric Cooperative. Whichever one bills you, we schedule the disconnect and reconnect at the meter on your behalf. The wires to the pole are the utility's problem. Everything past the meter is ours.

Because our electricians dispatch from home rather than a shared yard, the same team that handles a call in Lewistown also covers Burnham, Yeagertown, Granville and Reedsville without missing a step.

Common Electrical Projects in Lewistown Homes

Lewistown homes built around 1938 usually started with a 60-amp fuse box, and most have already outgrown it. We swap the fuse box for a modern breaker panel sized for central air, an electric range and everything else the original owner never planned for. See circuit breaker repair and upgrades for what that involves.

Knob-and-tube remnants and ungrounded outlets are next on the list. We isolate old wiring that's no longer doing useful work, and we ground or GFCI-protect two-prong outlets in kitchens, baths and outdoor spots.

Rural Mifflin County living also means backup power matters. A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch keeps the well pump, furnace and refrigerator running when a line goes down, and as a certified Generac dealer we handle installation and service.

Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Lewistown

Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code governs electrical permits, and Lewistown, like most Mifflin County municipalities, works with a third-party inspection agency instead of running its own building department. We handle the permit application and the inspection scheduling as part of the job, not as an extra line item.

PPL Electric Utilities is the primary electric utility in Lewistown. When a job involves a new service or a meter change, we coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with PPL directly. Storm damage to the lines themselves is PPL's repair. From the meter into your home, that responsibility is ours, day or night.

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!

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.

Lewistown Electrical FAQs

Do you send an electrician to Lewistown at night?

Yes, any night, any holiday. Our answering line runs 24/7, 365 days a year, and the electrician who responds already lives in the area rather than driving in from far away. Their van is stocked before the shift starts, so most repairs finish in that same visit. Call 570-648-8800 when it happens.

Is knob-and-tube wiring in my Lewistown home a real problem?

It depends on where it still carries power. Plenty of 1938 homes have old knob-and-tube wiring buried in walls that no longer does anything, which is harmless. The concern is knob-and-tube still in active use, especially spliced into newer circuits. We trace it, tell you honestly what we find, and quote the fix in writing.

Can I finance a panel upgrade in Lewistown?

Yes. Ask about flexible payment options when you request your quote. A full service upgrade from a 60-amp fuse box to a 200-amp panel is a bigger project, and we would rather you get it done right than delay it over cost. The price is still written down before any work starts.

Is a backup generator worth it in Mifflin County?

For a lot of homes here, yes, especially anywhere on a well pump. A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch keeps water, heat and the refrigerator running through an outage. We size it to your panel and your budget, and the transfer switch install comes with its own written price.
