Responded to a Harrisburg home for an electrical inspection and discovered a Federal Pacific panel. These older FPE panels have a known history of breaker failures, and this one showed its age with visible wear on the breaker contacts. We documented the condition of all breakers, from the 30 and 40 amp double poles down to the 20 amp branch circuits. The ground bus bar connections looked okay, but we had an honest conversation with the homeowner about replacement options. Concerned about your panel's safety?

Upgraded a standard outlet to a GFCI receptacle for a homeowner in Harrisburg who wanted better protection near a water source. These ground fault circuit interrupters are essential for areas where moisture could create a shock hazard. We removed the old outlet, wired in the new GFCI unit, and made sure that green indicator light came on showing proper function. Tested the trip and reset buttons to confirm the safety mechanism works as it should. The whole job took about thirty minutes and now the customer has peace of mind.

Tackled an outlet replacement at this 17112 home where the old receptacle had stopped working entirely. Pulled the outlet out and found the wiring connections had come loose over time. The blue plastic box was still in good shape, so we reconnected all the wires properly, installed a brand new receptacle, and tested it with our meter to confirm correct polarity and ground. The customer mentioned they'd been using an extension cord to work around the dead outlet for months, so they were pretty happy to have it working again.

This older Harrisburg property needed some serious attention to its electrical service entrance. The meter and disconnect setup had seen better days, with weathering visible on the exterior components. We inspected the entire service area, checked all connections at the meter base and disconnect box, and made sure the grounding was still intact. The customer was concerned about safety given the age of everything, and we walked them through what we found and recommended next steps. When electrical issues can't wait, call Thomas Edison Electric for emergency electrician service around the clock.

Got a call from a customer in Harrisburg who noticed their meter wasn't displaying readings correctly. We headed out to take a look at the Focus AXR-SD meter on the exterior wall and found the issue was actually related to a loose connection at the meter base. After coordinating with PPL and getting the proper clearance, we secured all connections and verified the meter was communicating properly with the utility. The conduit running along the siding was also inspected and found to be in good condition with no signs of weather damage.

Our technician responded to a call about intermittent power issues at this 17112 residence. After opening up the panel, we found a couple of loose breaker connections that were causing the trouble. The Square D panel had several 20-amp branch circuits that needed attention, so we tightened all connections, inspected the main breakers, and verified proper voltage throughout. The homeowner mentioned some circuits were tripping more than usual, which made sense once we spotted the worn contact points. Everything's running solid now.

Keeping your family safe starts with working smoke detectors. We installed a new hardwired smoke detector for this Harrisburg homeowner, mounting it securely to the ceiling in a central hallway location for optimal coverage. The unit was wired into the home's existing electrical system and tested to confirm proper function. While on site, we also checked the nearby ceiling light fixture to make sure everything was operating correctly. Ready to upgrade your home's safety?

This Media home had a 200-amp panel that needed attention. The customer was planning some renovations and wanted us to evaluate the existing electrical capacity. We opened up the panel, inspected all breaker connections, checked for any signs of overheating or corrosion, and verified the main breaker was functioning properly. With the panel in good shape, we discussed which circuits had room for additional loads and mapped out options for the upcoming remodel.

Responded to an 18104 emergency call where several circuits kept tripping repeatedly. Inside this Square D panel, we found some breakers that weren't seating correctly and a few wire connections that had loosened over the years. Our electrician tested each circuit, tightened all terminations, and replaced two faulty breakers. We also reorganized some of the wiring to reduce stress on the connections. The homeowner now has reliable power throughout the house again.

Completed a meter base and disconnect installation at this Blandon residence. The homeowner needed their electrical service updated, so we mounted a new meter socket on the exterior wall along with a proper disconnect box below. We ran the service conductors, installed grounding, and coordinated with the utility company for meter installation. This type of setup gives homeowners a safe, code-compliant way to shut off power when needed. Want to understand your home's electrical needs better?
