The Thomas Edison difference

Your Electricians in Montgomery County

Thomas Edison Electric's Montgomery County electricians live and work around the towns they serve. They are our own people, and each one heads out from home in a stocked TEE van. We work across the county every day. That means Abington, Willow Grove, Lansdale, Conshohocken, Ambler, Blue Bell, Collegeville, Ardmore and the boroughs up toward Pennsburg. Norristown, the county seat, and every other corner of Montgomery County get the same local crews.

We are a multigenerational, family-owned company that has completed more than 37,000 jobs since 2021. Here, most of those calls involve houses from around 1971. They also involve a utility map with a few surprises. And they carry the lasting lesson of September 2021. Hurricane Ida's remnants flooded basements and knocked out power here that month.

Ida-aware inspections

The September 2021 flash flooding put panels under water across the county. If yours took on water, we inspect it before anyone resets a breaker.

Five power providers, sorted

PECO covers most of the county. PPL and Met-Ed serve some spots, and borough electric covers Hatfield and Lansdale. We coordinate with whichever one is yours.

1971-era repairs

Aluminum branch wiring, full 100-amp panels and ungrounded outlets are the standard finds in local houses. We know the approved fixes for each.

Local by address

Our Montgomery County electricians dispatch from their own homes in stocked TEE vans. If we are late, we waive the dispatch fee.

24 hours, 365 days

A dead panel on Thanksgiving night gets a licensed electrician on the spot. It is not a callback on Monday.

Electrical Service Across Montgomery County

PECO is the primary utility here, but not the only one. PPL Electric Utilities and Met-Ed cover some outlying areas. The boroughs of Hatfield and Lansdale run their own borough electric systems. So the first question we ask about a service upgrade is who your bill comes from. That is who we coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with. Lines, poles and neighborhood outages belong to the power company. The meter socket, the panel and every wire inside are ours.

The typical Montgomery County home dates to around 1971. That era left three things behind: aluminum branch-circuit wiring and 100-amp panels that are now full. Two-prong outlets with no ground are common too. In towns from Glenside to Harleysville we see all three, often in the same house. They are fixable, and the fix usually costs less than people fear.

Then there is water. The remnants of Hurricane Ida caused severe flash flooding across the county in September 2021, with widespread outages. Submerged panels and wiring do not always fail right away. If your basement flooded, in Ida or since, have it inspected. We also serve Bucks, Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester, Berks and Lehigh counties.

Common Electrical Projects in Montgomery County Homes

Builders wired a 1971 split-level in Horsham or a rancher in Collegeville well for its time. Half a century later it carries central air, a home office and an induction range. Maybe a car in the driveway plugs in too. The projects that fill our Montgomery County schedule:

  • Aluminum branch wiring correction. We inspect every connection and repair with approved connectors or rewire, and put the plan in writing.

  • 100-amp to 200-amp service upgrades, arranged with PECO, PPL, Met-Ed or your borough electric department. See circuit breaker repair and upgrades.

  • Grounding two-prong outlets the code-approved way, room by room.

  • EV charger installation. A Level 2 charger on its own dedicated circuit, with the panel capacity to support it.

  • Post-flood inspections and surge protection. Ida showed what a flooded basement does to a panel. See electrical safety inspections.

Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Montgomery County

Each town handles its own electrical permits in Montgomery County under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Most townships and boroughs hire a third-party inspection agency rather than staffing their own. The details vary from Abington to Souderton to Royersford. We file the permit, book the check and see it through. Your quote includes it.

Power setup has a wrinkle here. PECO is the primary utility. PPL Electric Utilities and Met-Ed serve some parts of the county, and Hatfield and Lansdale boroughs distribute their own power. A service upgrade or meter base replacement requires a scheduled disconnect and reconnect with the right one. We arrange it. Outages, downed lines and the drop to your meter belong to the power company. From the meter inward, panel, circuits, outlets, that is our territory, day or night.

Electrical service

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!

Montgomery County Electrical FAQs

My basement flooded during Ida. Everything seems to work now. Am I fine?

Maybe, but do not take it on faith. The September 2021 flash flooding here submerged panels, outlets and junction boxes. Corrosion inside them can take months to cause a failure. A safety inspection is a small cost compared with a fire. If anything sat in water, have it looked at.

I live in Lansdale. Does the borough electric change anything?

Only who we call. Lansdale and Hatfield run borough electric systems. For a service upgrade or meter work, we schedule the disconnect and reconnect with the borough instead of PECO. The permit process and the work inside your home are the same. Tell us the borough when you call and we handle it.

Does aluminum wiring mean I need a full rewire?

Not necessarily. Aluminum branch wiring from the early 1970s is common here. The risk is at the connections, not the wire runs themselves. Often the right answer is repairing every termination with approved connectors. We inspect first, then give you both options in writing with prices.

Are the electricians who come to Montgomery County your own staff?

Yes. The electricians who cover Willow Grove, Hatboro and Horsham are on our payroll, not a subcontractor's. Each one starts the day from home in a stocked TEE van. We answer 24/7, 365 days a year. For scheduled work you get an arrival window, and if we miss it, we waive the dispatch fee. We do not promise a stopwatch time, just an honest one.
