Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Mohnton's median home was built in 1969, the same year as the county-wide median for all of Berks County. That means the same familiar signatures: aluminum branch wiring, 100-amp panels, two-prong outlets, and sometimes a recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel.
Met-Ed, part of FirstEnergy, is the electric utility for Mohnton, with PPL Electric Utilities covering other areas of the county. Met-Ed handles the poles and the meter, so we schedule any upgrade or disconnect directly with them, while the panel, wiring and outlets stay our responsibility.
Borough streets and rural stretches nearby both get the same crew and the same written quote, whether the job is a repair or a full rewire.
A 1969 panel in Mohnton is almost always rated for 100 amps, and central air, an electric range and a garage workshop can push it past its limit. A 200-amp panel upgrade adds the room and replaces a recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel where one turns up.
Aluminum branch wiring from the same era needs its own attention. Warm cover plates or flickering lights under load usually mean a loose connection, corrected with rated connectors rather than new copper everywhere. Two-prong outlets get grounded or GFCI-protected.
Newer additions fit these houses well: a home EV charger on a dedicated circuit, or a standby generator for the next outage.
Mohnton follows the same permitting path as most Berks boroughs: applications go through Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, with a third-party agency, not borough staff, reviewing plans and inspecting the finished job. We file under our license and make sure the inspection happens without you chasing anyone down.
Met-Ed is Mohnton's electric utility. A panel upgrade or meter change means a scheduled disconnect and reconnect through Met-Ed, built into the project timeline. Storm damage on the pole side is Met-Ed's repair. Everything from the meter inward, any hour, is ours.
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!

Mohnton Electrical FAQs
Yes, every hour of every day, holidays included. The electrician who arrives lives locally and drives a fully stocked TEE van from home. Call 610-777-7600 as soon as the problem shows up, and expect a written quote first.
It matches the median for all of Berks County, so the wiring habits are predictable: aluminum branch circuits, 100-amp panels and two-prong outlets. We know what to check first, which keeps the inspection quick and the quote accurate.
It's manageable, not an emergency by itself. Connections loosen with heat cycling over the decades, which can warm an outlet or flicker a light. We fix the terminations with connectors rated for aluminum and quote the repair in writing.
Check your neighbors first. A whole-street outage is a Met-Ed problem on the lines. If only your house lost power, or a breaker keeps tripping while the block stays lit, the trouble is likely inside your panel, and that side is ours.
Use our online scheduler or call us anytime, 24/7
