Northampton borough is home to about 10,400 people, and the typical house here dates to 1941. Knob-and-tube remnants, fuse boxes, 60-amp services and ungrounded outlets are still common finds in houses that age, especially where a renovation never reached the wiring.
We handle it in stages when that works better for the budget: a new panel first, then wiring or grounding as time allows. Electrical code violations flagged during a home sale get the same treatment, fixed and documented. For homes ready for more, we install EV charger circuits and standby generators as a certified Generac dealer.
The same crews reach Cherryville, 5.2 miles off, Bath, 6.0 miles the other direction, and Lehigh Valley and Walnutport beyond that, all in the same stocked vans.
A 1941 home in Northampton often carries at least one system original to the house, whether that's a fuse box, a run of knob-and-tube wiring, or both. Neither is an emergency by itself, but both limit what the house can safely run.
Fuse box replacement. A sized breaker panel removes the guesswork of matching fuse ratings.
Knob-and-tube tracing. We find what's still live and replace it, room by room if that suits the budget.
Code violation repairs. Buyers' inspectors flag outdated wiring often. We fix it and provide documentation.
EV charger and generator prep. Both need panel capacity a 1941 service didn't plan for.
We quote each step in writing, so you decide what happens first.
Northampton borough issues electrical permits under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, generally through a third-party inspection agency rather than running its own building department. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and are on site when the inspector arrives.
PPL Electric Utilities serves Northampton. A heavier service or new meter base requires a scheduled disconnect and reconnect with PPL, and we set that up directly. Outages and downed lines are PPL's to repair. From the meter inward, panel to outlet, the work is ours, any hour you call.
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!

Northampton Electrical FAQs
Common enough that we replace several a month. Houses from 1941 were built with them as standard, and many still have the original box even after other updates. A breaker panel sized for today's appliances, from central air to a home office setup, is a straightforward swap in most cases.
It can, if the buyer's lender makes repairs a condition of closing. We review what the inspection flagged, quote the fix in writing, and work to get it done before your closing date.
Yes, particularly in houses that haven't had a full rewire since they were built. It often survives in attics and wall cavities behind newer fixtures. We trace what's still carrying power and replace it, leaving the rest documented.
Yes. They live in and around the borough and dispatch from their own homes in stocked TEE vans, never a subcontractor's truck. We answer 24/7, 365 days a year, and if we're running late, we waive the dispatch fee.
