The Thomas Edison difference
A McAdoo electrician from Thomas Edison Electric is never a subcontractor, always a direct employee dispatching from home. McAdoo, ZIP 18237, sits at the edge of Schuylkill County, with Kelayres just 0.7 miles from the borough line and Quakake 4.2.
We hold PA license PA075449 and full insurance, and every job comes with a written quote before work starts. Call 610-782-9000 any hour, and if we run late, we waive the dispatch fee.
McAdoo homes from the 1940s often still run 60-amp service. We size the new panel for today's needs.
Wherever it survives in the walls or attic, we isolate it and remove what is no longer safe.
No subcontractors. Our McAdoo electricians dispatch from home in fully equipped TEE vans.
We book the utility disconnect and reconnect on any panel upgrade or new service.
Nights, weekends and holidays, with a written quote before work starts.
PA075449, full coverage, and over 37,000 jobs completed since 2021.
We're dedicated to building lasting relationships with every client through exceptional service and guaranteed results.

McAdoo's homes date to 1943 on average, old enough for knob-and-tube remnants, fuse boxes, 60-amp services and ungrounded outlets to turn up regularly across the borough's 2,501 residents.
We start every call with the panel. A fuse box or undersized service becomes a breaker panel sized for today's load, and ungrounded outlets get a real ground or GFCI protection.
Delano is 6.0 miles from McAdoo, Barnesville 6.3 and Sheppton 6.6.
The panel is usually the first stop. A McAdoo house from the 1940s running on 60 amps cannot carry central air, a dryer and a microwave together. We swap it for a breaker panel at 100 or 200 amps, depending on the house.
From there it is the wiring. Knob-and-tube remnants and ungrounded outlets both show up often. We trace what is still live and ground or GFCI-protect what needs it.
After the basics are covered, McAdoo homeowners often add a dedicated circuit for a workshop or a standby generator for the next storm.
McAdoo issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, and the borough contracts a third-party agency for plan review and inspection, the same setup used across most of Schuylkill County. We pull the permit and schedule the inspector.
PPL Electric Utilities serves McAdoo. A panel upgrade needs a disconnect and reconnect at the meter, which we book with PPL directly. A downed line is PPL's repair. From the meter in, any hour, is ours. Call 610-782-9000.
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!

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.

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!

McAdoo Electrical FAQs
Our own crew, always. Every electrician working in McAdoo is a Thomas Edison Electric employee, not a subcontractor, dispatching from home in a fully stocked TEE van. That holds true for a small repair and a full rewire alike, start to finish.
Panel work tops the list. A lot of McAdoo houses date to the 1940s and still run on a 60-amp fuse box, which struggles with central air or a modern kitchen. Knob-and-tube remnants and ungrounded outlets turn up often too, usually found during a routine inspection.
Often, yes. Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code covers most electrical work, not just full rewires. We check whether your specific job needs a permit, pull it if so, and schedule the inspection as part of the written price we give you before starting.
Yes. We answer 24/7, 365 days a year, and holidays are no exception. Call 610-782-9000, and a licensed local electrician, not a call center, tells you what to expect before anyone drives out. If we run late, we waive the dispatch fee.
