The Thomas Edison difference
Thomas Edison Electric's Montour County electricians serve one of the smallest counties in our territory. Danville is the county seat, and Washingtonville is the other borough. The townships around them make up a county of 18,115 people at the last estimate. A single electric utility serves the whole county. That simplicity is nice. It means every service upgrade in the county goes through the same coordination with PPL Electric Utilities.
We are a family-owned company. The electricians who cover Montour County work for us, never for a subcontractor. Each of them lives and works around the area, with a stocked TEE van at home. We also serve Columbia, Lycoming and Northumberland counties. Licensed in Pennsylvania (PA075449) and insured, we are honest about time. If we are late, we waive the dispatch fee.
PPL Electric Utilities serves all of Montour County. Service upgrades and meter work follow one simple routine we know well.
Montour County's typical home is from the mid-1970s. Aluminum branch wiring, full 100-amp panels and ungrounded outlets are our everyday work.
The same crews who serve Danville and Washingtonville cover Columbia, Lycoming and Northumberland counties. They work from their own homes in stocked TEE vans.
A dryer circuit in Washingtonville or a panel swap in Danville. Either way, the price is on paper first. No surprises on the invoice.
We confirm an arrival window for every Montour County appointment. If we miss it, the dispatch fee comes off your bill.

We're dedicated to building lasting relationships with every client through exceptional service and guaranteed results.

Every home in Montour County is in PPL Electric Utilities territory, which makes one part of our job easier. When we replace a service, upgrade a panel or install a new meter base, we coordinate with PPL. We handle the disconnect and reconnect. We know their process well. PPL owns the lines and the meter. We take responsibility for everything from the meter into the house.
Housing in Montour County is a little newer than in the counties around it. The typical home dates to around 1976, squarely in the aluminum branch-wiring years. Houses from that period also tend to have 100-amp panels that are now full. Many still have two-prong outlets that were never grounded. None of it is exotic. All of it is worth fixing before it fails. That is especially true if you are adding a heat pump, a car charger or a workshop.
We also spend a lot of time on generators and surge protection in Danville and the surrounding townships. Safety inspections for buyers and sellers keep us busy too. Because our electricians start from their own homes, a Montour County job gets a normal slot on the calendar. That keeps scheduling reliable and the price fair.
A Danville house from the mid-1970s probably has aluminum branch circuits and a 100-amp panel. Both were perfectly legal at the time. Today homeowners ask us about both more than anything else in Montour County.
Aluminum wiring remediation. The danger is at the terminations, where aluminum loosens and heats. We inspect each connection and repair with approved connectors, or rewire the runs where the condition calls for it.
Panel upgrades to 200 amps. More room, modern breakers, and capacity for a heat pump or EV charger. Details at circuit breaker repair and upgrades.
Grounding outlets and adding GFCI and AFCI protection where code now requires it.
Standby generators with automatic transfer switches, sized to what you need to keep running. See backup generator installation.
Safety inspections for home sales in Danville and Washingtonville, with a written report you can hand to a buyer.
The municipality issues Pennsylvania electrical permits under the Uniform Construction Code. Montour County's boroughs and townships contract a third-party inspection agency rather than running their own building department. The process for a Danville job is not automatically the process for one out in the townships. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection and are there when the inspector arrives. The cost is part of your written quote.
The utility side is simpler here than in most counties. PPL Electric Utilities serves all of Montour County. So every service upgrade and meter base replacement goes through the same disconnect and reconnect coordination. We schedule it. When the power is out on your whole road, call PPL. When it is only your house, or only some circuits, the trouble is inside. That is our job, at any hour.
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!

Montour County Electrical FAQs
No. Small counties get the same local crews as big ones. Our Danville and Washingtonville electricians leave from their own homes in stocked TEE vans. We schedule Montour County work like any other, and we give you a firm arrival window. If we miss it, we waive the dispatch fee. We answer emergencies 24/7.
Homes built around 1976, which is the typical build year in Montour County, are prime candidates. Look at exposed cable in the basement or attic for the letters AL or ALUMINUM on the jacket. Warm switch plates and flickering lights are other clues. We can confirm it in one visit and price the fix in writing.
Yes. A panel replacement or service upgrade needs a permit from your town under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Your township or borough picks the agency that runs the inspection. We handle the filing and the inspection. We also coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with PPL Electric Utilities so everything lands on one schedule.
Yes. Ask about flexible payment options when you get your quote. A standby generator or a panel upgrade with aluminum wiring repairs is a meaningful cost for a Montour County homeowner. We would rather you address it safely now than wait. The written quote comes first either way, so you know the full number.
