The Thomas Edison difference
A Marietta electrician from Thomas Edison Electric is never a stranger to the area, since our crews are spread across Lancaster County and drive fully stocked TEE vans out from their own homes. Marietta, ZIP 17547, borders Maytown at 2.0 miles, Columbia at 3.0 and Mount Joy at 4.5.
We hold PA license PA075449, carry full insurance, and operate as a family-owned, multigenerational company. Every electrician passes a background check and keeps training weekly. Calls run 24/7, 365 days a year, with a written quote before work starts and a waived dispatch fee if we're running behind.
Knob-and-tube, fuse boxes and 60-amp service are familiar here.
No subcontractors. Electricians dispatch from home in stocked TEE vans.
Panel and meter upgrades get scheduled directly with PPL Electric Utilities.
You approve the price before the first breaker gets touched.
24/7, 365 days a year, dispatch fee waived if we're late.
Background checks, weekly training, over 37,000 jobs completed since 2021.
We're dedicated to building lasting relationships with every client through exceptional service and guaranteed results.

Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Marietta's houses date to 1938 on average, older than most of the county. Original wiring from that era often includes knob-and-tube sections, a fuse box in place of breakers, 60-amp service and outlets that were never grounded. We see all four on a typical service call here.
Our electricians answer to Thomas Edison Electric alone, never a subcontractor, and each one leaves for work from home in a stocked van. Marietta, Maytown and Columbia share the same crew. Dial 717-274-2700 any hour you need us.
PPL Electric Utilities is the utility for Marietta. PPL keeps the grid up outside the house. Once power crosses the meter, the panel, the circuits and every outlet are our responsibility, not PPL's.
A house built in 1938 in Marietta has usually been touched by a few generations of owners, and the wiring often shows it. Knob-and-tube segments remain in ceilings and walls that were never opened up during a remodel. We map what's live and replace what needs replacing, room by room.
Fuse boxes are the other regular find. A panel upgrade swaps fuses for breakers and adds capacity most 1938 services never had, enough for central air, a range or an EV charger later on.
Two-prong outlets without a ground get GFCI protection or a proper ground, whichever the existing wiring supports.
Marietta borough handles electrical permits under the state's Uniform Construction Code, and contracts a third-party agency for inspections, the standard setup across Lancaster County. We take care of the permit, the inspection booking and the walkthrough, all folded into your written quote.
PPL Electric Utilities is the electric company here. Any job that touches the meter, a new service or a panel swap, needs PPL to disconnect and reconnect, and we schedule that on your behalf. PPL fixes downed lines; we fix everything on the house side.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to resolve your electrical woes.

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!

Technician came out within an hour for an investigation late at night. The same technician came back the next morning and replaced the breaker panel, meter box, and ran new conduit up to the roof for the connections. Did a fantastic job and everything looks great. Thanks Arthur and Malcolm for your hard work!

Marietta Electrical FAQs
Yes, around the clock. Our 24/7 line reaches an electrician who lives locally, not someone commuting in. The van is already stocked. Call 717-274-2700 whenever it happens.
Age is the main risk, not the wiring itself. It was never rated for today's loads. We inspect first and give you a written plan, prioritized by what matters most.
If the block is dark, PPL handles it. If it's only your house, the issue is on our side of the meter, and that's our call to take.
Rarely without an upgrade first. A fuse box usually lacks room for new dedicated circuits for a range, microwave and dishwasher at once.
Use our online scheduler or call us anytime, 24/7
