Electrical Work in Marcus Hook Homes
Builders in 1944 wired a house for lamps and a radio. Since then it has picked up a refrigerator, a dryer, a microwave, maybe central air, and a rack of chargers. So the 60-amp service that once felt generous now trips fuses on a Sunday afternoon. Our first step in Marcus Hook is a load check, and the answer usually points to a 200-amp service with a breaker panel.
Knob-and-tube remnants deserve a careful eye rather than a blanket condemnation. We locate what is still live, retire it where we can, and run copper to the circuits that carry real load. Ungrounded outlets get a ground or GFCI protection.
Storms matter here too. The remnants of Hurricane Ida flooded parts of Delaware County in September 2021 and knocked out power. A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch answers the next one, and as a certified Generac dealer we install and service them.
Common Electrical Projects in Marcus Hook Homes
The service upgrade leads the list. Fuse box out, breaker panel in, 200 amps at the meter. See circuit breaker repair and upgrades. That single project ends the fuse hunting and adds room for new circuits.
After that come the circuits themselves. A dryer or range outlet on its own line. A dedicated circuit for a sump pump, which matters in a county that saw Ida's flooding. New copper for any run that still relies on knob-and-tube remnants. And GFCI protection in the kitchen, bath and basement, where 1944 wiring never imagined a hair dryer near a sink.
Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Marcus Hook
Marcus Hook Borough issues electrical permits under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Like most boroughs in Delaware County, it relies on a third-party inspection agency for plan review and inspections. A panel change or new circuit needs a permit, and we handle the filing, the scheduling and the inspector's visit as part of your written quote.
PECO Energy Company serves all of ZIP 19061. When we upgrade a service, PECO pulls the meter first and reconnects after the inspection. Outages along the street are PECO's to fix. From the meter into your house, it is ours.

Mike Van Uiter and Steve came out to replace our main breaker panel after water came in and damaged it. They made sure everything was done professionally and neatly, labeled and easy to read. Mike also took time to answer other questions we had and make sure we were comfortable with how to do the generator hookup.

Klaus, Mike and Jim were amazing in getting power back to my barn. Our previous underground line failed and Thomas Edison was able to get a new line installed and powered all within 2 days of my call. Mike and Klaus worked late into the night to make sure we got power back on. Thanks for a great job!!!

Marcus Hook Electrical FAQs
My Marcus Hook house blows fuses every weekend. Is that dangerous?
It can be, mostly because of what people do next. Swapping in a bigger fuse lets the wire overheat. A 1944 house on 60 amps blows fuses because the load outgrew the service. We check the load and quote a breaker panel in writing.
Should I replace knob-and-tube wiring before selling?
Often, yes. Buyers and insurers tend to ask about it. We inspect what is live, quote replacement for those runs, and provide the safety inspection paperwork you can hand to a buyer.
Do you install generators in Marcus Hook?
Yes. We are a certified Generac dealer, so we size, install, maintain and repair standby generators. An automatic transfer switch starts it the moment PECO's power fails.
Who fixes an outage in Marcus Hook?
If the block is dark, PECO. If only your house is dark, call us at 610-789-8100. We answer 24/7, 365 days a year, and our electricians dispatch from home in stocked vans.
