Electrical Work Around Macungie

Macungie Borough's homes date to 1982 on the median, past the aluminum-wiring era and onto copper. The catch is the panel: 100 to 150 amps was plenty in the 1980s, but runs out of room once a heat pump, hot tub or EV charger joins the load.

We size the fix to the house, not a guess. Sometimes that's a dedicated circuit for one appliance, sometimes a full panel upgrade for everything at once. East Texas homeowners get the same load calculation first.

Common Electrical Projects in Macungie Homes

A house built around 1982 in Macungie usually has copper wiring already. What it lacks is headroom on the panel, since 100 to 150 amps struggles once you add central air and a car charger.

What that means:

Load calculations before adding a Level 2 EV charger.
Panel upgrades to 200 amps when service is maxed out.
Dedicated circuits for hot tubs and home offices.
Backup generators with a transfer switch, from a certified Generac dealer.

We check the panel first, no guesswork.

Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Macungie

Macungie Borough issues its own electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, typically through a third-party inspection agency. We pull the permit and schedule the inspector.

PPL Electric Utilities serves Macungie, with Met-Ed covering other parts of the county. A panel upgrade or new service involves a disconnect and reconnect at the meter, booked with PPL directly. Storm damage is PPL's repair. Everything from the meter in, any hour, is ours.

Light fixture service

Such a positive experience! Hector swapped our old can lights for efficient new LEDs, and it looks amazing. His attention to detail was so good…when the original lights he purchased didn’t fit quite right, he went back to the store for a more precise fit. Highly recommend Thomas Edison electric!

Macungie Electrical FAQs

Is there a 24-hour electrician in Macungie?

Yes. We answer 24/7, 365 days a year, holidays included, with electricians who dispatch from home. Vans are already stocked, so most repairs finish on the first visit.

Can my 1980s Macungie house handle an EV charger?

Usually, once we check the panel. Homes from 1982 often carry 100 to 150 amps, which may not have room for a Level 2 charger. We run the load calculation first and quote an upgrade if needed.

Who do I call if the power goes out, you or PPL?

Check your neighbors first. If the whole street is dark, that's a PPL outage. If just your house lost power, the trouble is likely on our side of the meter. Call us any hour.

Do you handle the permit for a panel upgrade?

Yes. Macungie Borough issues the permit under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we file it along with scheduling the inspection. That cost is in the written quote you approve first.
