The Thomas Edison difference
Olyphant electricians at Thomas Edison Electric are our own employees, never a subcontractor, and they leave home each day in a fully stocked TEE van. Olyphant covers ZIP codes 18447 and 18448 in Lackawanna County, right beside Dickson City, 0.8 miles away, Peckville, 1.5 miles away, and Jessup, 1.8 miles away.
We are licensed under PA075449 and fully insured, and every job comes with a written price before we start. Call 215-227-7000 any hour, 365 days a year, and a late arrival means we waive the dispatch fee.

Olyphant's housing dates to 1958 on average, and the wiring often matches that age. Fuse boxes, 60-amp panels and outlets without a ground wire are typical. Knob-and-tube occasionally survives behind a wall that has never been opened.
Olyphant is one of the few Lackawanna County boroughs that runs its own electric system. If your address is inside the borough, Olyphant Borough Electric owns your meter, not PPL Electric Utilities, and that is who we coordinate with for a service upgrade or new meter base. Just outside the borough line, PPL is more likely your utility.
Our electricians also cover Dickson City, Peckville, Jessup and Dunmore, so an Olyphant call reaches the same crew working the rest of the county.
A 1958 Olyphant home usually starts with the panel. We swap a fuse box for a modern breaker panel, often adding capacity in the same visit. Knob-and-tube that is still live gets isolated or removed, and ungrounded outlets get a real ground or GFCI protection.
From there, the work turns practical. Dedicated circuits for a window AC or workshop tools, ceiling and attic fan installs, and fixes for amperage issues when the lights dim under load are all regular calls.
Olyphant Borough issues its own electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, working with a third-party agency for inspections. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection and walk the inspector through the job, all part of the written quote you approved first.
PPL Electric Utilities serves the area around Olyphant, though the borough itself runs Olyphant Borough Electric for many addresses inside town. We confirm which one owns your meter before a service upgrade, then book the disconnect and reconnect to fit our crew's schedule.
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!

Olyphant Electrical FAQs
It depends on the address. Inside the borough, Olyphant Borough Electric often owns the meter. Just outside it, PPL Electric Utilities is more likely your utility, and we check which applies before any meter work.
Yes. We answer 24/7, 365 days a year, holidays included, and the electrician who responds lives locally and drives a stocked TEE van from home. Call 215-227-7000 as soon as the problem starts.
Not every fuse box is an emergency, but many from 1958 were sized for 60 amps, thin for a modern household. We inspect it and give you a written price for a breaker panel if it makes sense.
Yes. A flickering light or a dead outlet gets the same licensed electrician as a full panel job, and every visit comes with a written price first.
