The Thomas Edison difference
An Orrtanna electrician from Thomas Edison Electric is a direct employee, never a subcontractor, and dispatches from home in a fully stocked TEE van. Orrtanna, ZIP 17353, is a small community in Adams County, with McKnightstown just 2.5 miles off, Fairfield at 4.0 and Arendtsville at 6.3.
Our license is PA075449, and we are fully insured with over 37,000 jobs completed since 2021. Call 215-227-7000 any hour, any day. The price is always in writing before work starts, and a late arrival waives the dispatch fee.
Orrtanna jobs go to our own electricians, never a subcontractor.
Fuse boxes and knob-and-tube remnants are routine work for our crews.
Met-Ed and Adams Electric Cooperative coordination is on us.
The written quote you approve is the number you pay.
Nights, weekends and holidays, 24/7, 365 days a year.
PA075449, over 37,000 jobs completed since 2021, financing available.

We're dedicated to building lasting relationships with every client through exceptional service and guaranteed results.
Our team delivers safe, affordable, long-lasting electrical services.
Your time is precious. If we're late, we'll waive your dispatch fee.
Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Orrtanna's typical home dates to 1938, tied for the oldest median build year in this part of the county. Knob-and-tube remnants, fuse boxes, 60-amp services and ungrounded outlets are common in houses that age.
A fuse box from the 1930s was never built for today's kitchen, let alone a workshop or a home office. We size a new panel for what the house actually needs now, and we check every ceiling box before hanging a new fan or fixture. An electrical safety inspection is a smart step before any of that work begins.

Orrtanna has no borough government, so permits for electrical work go through the surrounding township under the state Uniform Construction Code, usually with a third-party agency handling plan review and inspection. We manage that process from start to finish.
Met-Ed supplies most of Orrtanna, and Adams Electric Cooperative reaches other parts of the county. A panel or service upgrade needs a scheduled disconnect at the meter, and we set that up directly. A downed line after a storm is the utility's repair. From the meter into the house, any hour, that's ours.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to fix your electrical problems.

I was extremely pleased with meeting Dennis T and with the work he completed today. He has a lovely personality, a level of professionalism that I appreciated and I was comfortable with him in my home, even into the evening to complete the work. I'm glad to have found Thomas Edison Electric and I would use the service again. Thank you Dennis for making this visit less painful.

Hector was amazing! Friendly, informative, fast, and respectful. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an electrician. He installed new outlets, dimmer switch’s and a fan. All projects were completed perfectly. Hector was also friendly and laid back and was kind enough to answer all of my questions.

We have an older Casablanca fan, it stopped functioning properly. Thomas Edison sent an electric technician out in two days. Nassim found the problem in the wall switch. I was given the opportunity to find a replacment switch . Once I secured the switch they were out in a few days. Installation was completed within an hour. Will use Thomas Edison again .

Our technician Dennis did an amazing job installing a new circuit panel and new outlets for us. We are so grateful and so happy to be able to plug multiple things in without tripping the breaker. Our lights also look so much brighter. Thank you so much! Very professional, very knowledgeable and estimates are fairly priced compared to the others around the area. Very happy overall. Highly recommend.
