The Thomas Edison difference

Narberth Electricians for a Borough of 1930s Homes

Looking for a Narberth electrician? Thomas Edison Electric's crews are our own employees, not subcontractors, and each one dispatches from home in a fully stocked TEE van. Narberth is an incorporated borough in Montgomery County, ZIP 19072, with Haverford, Gladwyne and Ardmore within a few miles.

The borough's housing dates mostly to 1938, so knob-and-tube wiring, fuse boxes and 60-amp services still turn up behind the plaster. We carry PA license PA075449 and full insurance, and answer 24/7, 365 days a year. Call 610-520-1300 any hour.

Knob-and-tube traced first

We find every live run behind a 1938 Narberth wall before we touch a single wire.

Fuse box to breaker panel

A 60-amp fuse box becomes a right-sized breaker panel, usually in one visit.

Grounding added

Two-prong outlets throughout the house get a true ground or GFCI protection, room by room.

Borough permits handled

Narberth issues its own permits, and we manage the paperwork and inspection either way.

Direct employees, stocked vans

No subcontractors. Narberth calls go to our own crews, dispatched from home.

24/7, licensed, insured

PA075449, 4.8 stars on Google, financing available, and a waived dispatch fee if we run late.

Knob-and-Tube Behind Narberth's Plaster Walls

Open a wall in a 1938 Narberth house and knob-and-tube wiring is a common find, sometimes retired, sometimes still carrying power. We trace every run before touching anything, then replace what is live with grounded copper fished through the same openings. Two-prong outlets get a real ground or GFCI protection along the way.

As an incorporated borough, Narberth issues its own electrical permits rather than routing through a township. PECO Energy Company is the utility, and any service upgrade means a scheduled disconnect and reconnect at the meter, which we arrange.

Narberth's electricians are direct Thomas Edison Electric employees who dispatch from home in stocked TEE vans, the same as every town we serve.

Common Electrical Projects in Narberth Homes

Rewiring around old plaster is the most common job. We reach most rooms from the attic or basement, fishing cable down inside the walls, and patch the small openings that leaves behind. Any live knob-and-tube segments get replaced with grounded copper as part of the same visit.

Panel upgrades follow close behind. A 200-amp breaker panel replaces a 1938 fuse box and adds room for central air or a kitchen remodel. Electrical safety inspections are a common ask before a home sale closes too.

Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Narberth

Narberth is one of the few incorporated boroughs in this part of the county, so it issues its own electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, typically through a third-party inspection agency rather than a full in-house department. We pull the permit and stay for the inspection, included in your written quote.

PECO Energy Company serves Narberth. A panel or service upgrade needs a scheduled disconnect and reconnect at the meter, and we book that for you. Outages on the street are PECO's; the wiring inside the house is ours, any hour.

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!

Narberth Electrical FAQs

Is knob-and-tube wiring dangerous in a Narberth home?

Not automatically, but any run still carrying power needs checking. Old insulation degrades, and the wiring was never designed for today's electrical load. We trace every run and replace what is live with grounded copper.

Does Narberth being a borough change the permit process?

A little. Narberth issues its own permits rather than routing through a township, but the state Uniform Construction Code still applies. We still pull the permit and handle the inspection either way.

Can a 1938 Narberth fuse box just be left alone?

If it is in good shape, it is legal, but the 60-amp service behind it usually cannot cover central air and a modern kitchen together. Most homeowners upgrade both at once.

Are Narberth's electricians employed by Thomas Edison Electric?

Yes. Every one dispatches from home in a fully stocked TEE van, not a subcontractor's, and answers 24/7, 365 days a year. The line runs 365 days a year: 610-520-1300.
