Electrical Work in a 1959 Media Home
A 1959 build in Media typically came with a 60-amp service, a fuse box, and outlets with no ground. Some houses still have knob-and-tube remnants in the attic or behind plaster. Others have picked up additions with newer wiring bolted onto the old. Because the mix varies block by block, we open the panel before we say anything.
From there, the usual sequence: a 200-amp service with a breaker panel, then grounded or GFCI-protected outlets, then the circuits that modern living asks for. Dedicated circuits for a kitchen remodel. A Level 2 EV charger in the garage.
Delaware County also took Ida's remnants in September 2021, with flash flooding and outages. Panels and outlets that got wet then deserve a test now.
Common Electrical Projects in Media Homes
Panel and service upgrades top the list in Media. A fuse box on a 60-amp service becomes a breaker panel on 200 amps, which ends the fuse hunting and adds room for new circuits. Details under circuit breaker repair and upgrades.
Grounding comes next. Two-prong outlets get a ground where the cable allows or GFCI protection where it does not. We trace knob-and-tube remnants, retire what we can and run copper on the circuits you use most.
Then the upgrades people actually enjoy: custom lighting for a dining room or porch, and a whole-home surge protector at the panel.
Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Media
Media Borough issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code. As in most Delaware County boroughs, a third-party inspection agency reviews the plan and inspects the work. You never have to chase that process. We file the permit, book the inspection and walk the inspector through the job, and the fee lives inside your written quote.
PECO Energy Company delivers power to all three Media ZIP codes. Service upgrades need PECO at the meter for the disconnect and the reconnect, and we set both. If the whole street loses power, call PECO. If the trouble is only in your house, call 610-789-8100.

Electrical service
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!!!

Media Electrical FAQs
Does Thomas Edison Electric cover all of Media's ZIP codes?
Yes. 19063, 19065 and 19091 all get the same electricians, who live around Delaware County and dispatch from home. One number covers all three: 610-789-8100, answered 24/7, 365 days a year.
My Media house has a fuse box. What are my options?
Keep it, if it works and the fuses match the wire. Or replace it with a breaker panel, usually alongside a 200-amp service, so the house can run modern loads. We look at the box and your plans and quote both in writing.
Can you handle the permit with the borough?
Yes. We pull the electrical permit from Media Borough, schedule the third-party inspection and walk the inspector through the job. The cost sits in your written quote.
How do I know if Ida damaged my wiring?
You may not know until it fails. Water reached panels and low outlets across Delaware County in September 2021, and corrosion grows quietly. A safety inspection tells you what to keep and what to replace.
