Electrical Service in Newtown Square's 1960s Homes

The typical Newtown Square home dates to 1968. Houses from that stretch often ran aluminum wire on the branch circuits, paired with a 100-amp panel and two-prong outlets. Recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels turn up often too. We treat the panel brand as the first thing worth checking, every time.

We handle panel upgrades when aluminum wiring or a recalled panel needs to go. EV charger installs come up too, whenever a family adds an electric car to the driveway. The same crews reach Edgemont, Wayne and Villanova. Call 610-789-8100 any hour, and the price is in writing before we start.

Remnants of Hurricane Ida flooded basements and cut power across Delaware County in September 2021. A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch keeps a house running through the next one. As a certified Generac dealer, we size, install and service those systems too.

Common Electrical Projects in Newtown Square Homes

Start with the wiring. A lot of 1968 Newtown Square houses run aluminum on the branch circuits. Warm cover plates or flickering lights are the classic warning signs of a loose connection. We remake those joints with the right hardware or replace the run with copper.

Next, the panel. If the label reads Federal Pacific or Zinsco, that panel gets replaced, not repaired. A 200-amp upgrade retires the recalled panel and adds room for whatever comes next.

Then the loads a 1968 house never planned for. A heat pump or a Level 2 EV charger usually needs more capacity than the original 100-amp service allows. A backup generator covers the gap when the grid goes down.

Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Newtown Square

Newtown Square sits inside Newtown Township here in Delaware County. The township issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code. As in most of the county, it uses a third-party agency for plan review and inspections. It doesn't run its own building department. We pull the permit, meet the inspector and fold both into your written quote.

PECO Energy Company serves Newtown Square. A panel upgrade, a generator or a new meter each needs a PECO disconnect and reconnect, and we schedule that step. A wider outage on the lines belongs to PECO. Everything from the meter into the house is ours, 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!

Newtown Square Electrical FAQs

Is there an emergency electrician in Newtown Square at night?

Yes. We're on call 24/7, 365 days a year, holidays included. Our electricians work out of their own homes across Delaware County. Vans arrive fully stocked, so most jobs wrap up in a single visit. Call 610-789-8100 whenever the problem starts.

My Newtown Square home has aluminum wiring. Is that dangerous?

It can be, if the connections were never updated. Aluminum branch wiring from 1968 expands and contracts differently than copper. Older connectors can work loose over time, which shows up as warm outlets or flickering lights. We check every connection, remake the ones that need it and tell you plainly what else, if anything, should change.

Can a 1968 Newtown Square panel handle an EV charger?

Sometimes, once we run the numbers. A Level 2 charger draws enough that a 100-amp panel from 1968 can be tight. That's especially true alongside central air and an electric range. If the load calculation says no, we upgrade to 200 amps and coordinate the meter change with PECO. Either way, the price comes in writing first.

Who do I call, PECO or Thomas Edison Electric, if the power goes out?

Look outside first. If the block is dark, that's a PECO outage and PECO handles the fix. If only your house lost power, that points to your side of the meter. The same is true if the lights are behaving strangely while the rest of the street looks normal. Either way, that's ours to solve, any hour you call.
