The Thomas Edison difference

Your Newtown Electricians

A Newtown electrician from Thomas Edison Electric is a direct employee. Each one starts the day at home in Bucks County and drives a fully stocked TEE van. No subcontractors. Newtown Borough, ZIP 18940, shares those crews with Langhorne, Richboro, Penns Park and Washington Crossing.

The borough's median house dates to 1938, so old wiring is a daily topic here. We hold Pennsylvania license PA075449, carry insurance, and answer 24/7, 365 days a year at 215-227-7000.

What We Do in Newtown

A house from 1938 has usually seen several electricians before us. Knob-and-tube remnants often survive in the attic and inside plaster walls. Fuse boxes and 60-amp services linger in basements. Ungrounded two-prong outlets are the norm in older bedrooms. Each one is a good reason for an inspection before a big appliance goes in.

Recent jobs around Newtown show the range: 200-amp Square D panels, a Generac standby generator with its transfer switch, ceiling fans and vanity lights. Whatever the size, the price comes in writing first. If we run late, we waive the dispatch fee.

Common Electrical Projects in Newtown Homes

Rewiring tops the list in Newtown. We trace live knob-and-tube runs, replace them with grounded copper, and patch as little plaster as we can. Ungrounded outlets get a ground or GFCI protection at the same time.

The service comes next. A 60-amp fuse box cannot run central air and a modern kitchen together, so a 200-amp panel upgrade is the usual fix. After the September 2021 Ida outages across Bucks County, a standby generator became a common add-on. We hang ceiling fans here too.

Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Newtown

Newtown Borough issues electrical permits under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Like most Bucks County towns, it relies on a third-party inspection agency. A rewire, a panel change or a generator each needs a permit and an inspection. We file it, schedule it and meet the inspector, and the cost sits in your written quote.

PECO Energy Company supplies the borough. A new 200-amp service or a transfer switch at the meter means a PECO disconnect and reconnect, which we book. Downed lines are PECO's job; the wiring from the meter inward is ours.

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!

Newtown Electrical FAQs

Can you rewire a 1938 Newtown house without tearing up the plaster?

Mostly, yes. We fish new cable through walls and ceilings and open small holes only where we must. Attic and basement runs need no wall work.

Do you service Generac generators in Newtown?

Yes. We are a certified Generac dealer, so we sell, install, maintain and repair them.

Is a fuse box a fire risk?

Not by itself, if it is in good shape. The problem is capacity. A 60-amp service cannot support central air or an EV charger, so we usually replace it.

Who does the outage belong to, you or PECO?

If the whole block is dark, PECO. If your house alone lost power, or a few rooms did, it is likely a panel or wiring fault on our side. Call 215-227-7000 at any hour.
