The Thomas Edison difference

Your Perkasie Electricians

Thomas Edison Electric sends a licensed Perkasie electrician who lives and works in the area, never a subcontractor. Our electricians are direct employees. Each one heads out from home in a fully stocked TEE van. Perkasie sits in Bucks County in ZIP 18944. Sellersville is only 1.4 miles out. Silverdale and Blooming Glen sit inside 2.4 miles, with Hilltown and Dublin just past them.

One thing sets the borough apart from most of the county. It runs its own electric system, Perkasie Borough Electric, and that changes how we book a service upgrade. We know the routine. We hold PA license PA075449, we are insured, and we answer 24/7, 365 days a year at 800-380-6800.

Borough electric, understood

Perkasie runs its own electric system. We know who to call for a service upgrade or meter change inside the borough.

1972 panels read first

Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels from that era are replacements, not repairs. We check the label before anything else.

Aluminum wiring fixed

Loose aluminum joints overheat. We remake them with rated connectors or run new copper.

No subcontractors

Every electrician works for Thomas Edison Electric and drives a fully stocked TEE van from home.

Written quote, no surprises

You approve the number before the work begins, and that number holds.

24/7 and insured

How We Serve Perkasie Homes

The typical Perkasie house went up around 1972. Homes from that stretch often have aluminum branch wiring, a 100-amp panel and two-prong outlets. Recalled Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels come from that era too. When we open a panel here, the brand on the label is the first thing we read.

Perkasie is a borough of 9,216 people with its own electric department. So when you need a bigger service or a meter moved, the borough handles its side and we handle yours. Past the borough line, PECO Energy Company serves much of Bucks County. We work with both every week.

Weather plays a part as well. The remnants of Hurricane Ida hit Bucks County in September 2021. That night brought flash floods, wide outages and a tornado. Since then, surge protection and standby generators come up on many of our visits here. Call 800-380-6800 and tell us what you see.

Common Electrical Projects in Perkasie Homes

Aluminum branch wiring leads the list here. Warm switch plates, flickering lights and a faint burnt smell at an outlet all point to loose aluminum joints. We remake each joint with the right connectors, or we pull new copper to those rooms. Then the two-prong outlets get a real ground or GFCI protection.

Panels come next. A 100-amp panel from 1972 rarely has room for a heat pump or a Level 2 EV charger. If the label reads Federal Pacific or Zinsco, the panel comes out either way. A 200-amp panel upgrade solves both problems. Inside the borough, we set it up with Perkasie Borough Electric.

Since the 2021 outages, standby generators round out the list. We are a certified Generac dealer, so we size, install and service them.

Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Perkasie

Perkasie Borough issues electrical permits under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, usually through a third-party inspection agency. Homes past the borough line fall under their own township, and each one runs the process a bit differently. Either way, we pull the permit, book the inspection and stand there when the inspector shows up. The permit cost lives inside the written quote.

The borough also runs its own electric system, Perkasie Borough Electric, so a service upgrade or meter change inside the borough goes through the borough. Across much of the rest of Bucks County, PECO Energy Company is the utility. We book shutoffs and reconnects with PECO just as often. Outages on the lines belong to whichever utility you have. Everything from the meter into the house belongs to us.

Electrical service

Mike Van Uiter and Steve came out to replace our main breaker panel after water came in and damaged it. They made sure everything was done professionally and neatly, labeled and easy to read. Mike also took time to answer other questions we had and make sure we were comfortable with how to do the generator hookup.

Perkasie Electrical FAQs

Does Perkasie's borough electric system change how a panel upgrade works?

It changes who we schedule with. Inside the borough, Perkasie Borough Electric handles the shutoff and reconnect at the meter. So we book that with the borough instead of PECO. The permit, the inspection and the panel work run the same way. You get one written quote that covers all of it.

Should I replace a Federal Pacific panel in my Perkasie home?

Yes. Federal Pacific and Zinsco both carry recalls, and both show up in houses from around 1972. Breakers in those panels can fail to trip on a fault. We replace the panel, often as a 200-amp upgrade, and handle the utility side in or out of the borough.

How do I know if my Perkasie house has aluminum wiring?

Look at the printing on the cable jacket in the basement or attic. Aluminum cable carries the letters AL or ALUMINUM. Warm cover plates and flickering lights are other clues. If you are not sure, our safety inspection confirms it, with a written quote for any fixes.

Do you cover the towns around Perkasie too?

Yes. Our electricians dispatch from their own homes across Bucks County in fully stocked TEE vans. Sellersville, Silverdale, Blooming Glen, Hilltown, Dublin and Trumbauersville get the same local crews. Call 800-380-6800 any hour, any day, holidays included.
