The Thomas Edison difference
Thomas Edison Electric's Perry County electricians serve a rural, spread-out territory that is mostly owner-occupied. About four out of five homes here belong to the people living in them. That means the person calling us usually plans to stay a while and wants the work done right. We serve New Bloomfield, Duncannon, Marysville, Newport, Millerstown, Liverpool, Landisburg, Blain and Shermans Dale.
We are a multigenerational, family-owned company, and the electricians who cover Perry County live in the area. Each one drives a fully stocked TEE van and dispatches from home. We also work in Cumberland, Dauphin, Juniata, Franklin and Northumberland counties. PA license PA075449, insured, and every price in writing before we start.
Three power providers serve Perry County. We coordinate service and meter work with the one that serves your address.
Aluminum branch wiring, full 100-amp panels and ungrounded outlets are standard in Perry County homes of that era. We repair all three to current code.
With about four in five Perry County homes owner-occupied, we quote for the long term: proper panels, dedicated circuits and inspections that hold up at resale.
A standby generator keeps the well pump, furnace and freezer running when the lines go down.
The electrician at your door in New Bloomfield starts the day from their own driveway. We confirm a window and waive the dispatch fee if we are late.

Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Three providers keep the lights on in Perry County. PPL Electric Utilities serves much of it, Penelec serves other areas, and Duncannon runs its own borough electric system. Before we quote a service upgrade we ask which one bills you, because that is who we coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with. The provider is responsible for the lines, the poles and the meter. From the meter into the house, it is ours.
The typical Perry County home dates to around 1976. That puts it squarely in the years when builders used aluminum for branch circuits. Homes from that time also commonly have a 100-amp panel with no room left and two-prong outlets that were never grounded. On a property with a well pump, a barn or a detached garage, a 100-amp service fills up quickly. We see a lot of panels that were never meant to run what they run now.
Perry County work goes to our own electricians, never to a subcontractor. We confirm an arrival window and treat that window as a commitment. If we miss it, we waive the dispatch fee. We answer emergency calls 24 hours a day, every day.
Perry County houses from the mid-1970s have aluminum branch wiring and a 100-amp panel. Many also have a well pump, a heat pump or a detached workshop added since. The projects homeowners ask about most:
Aluminum wiring remediation. The problem is at the connections, not the runs. We inspect every termination, repair with approved connectors, or rewire where warranted, and write down which we recommend and why.
200-amp service upgrades, coordinated with PPL, Penelec or Duncannon borough electric. See circuit breaker repair and upgrades.
Dedicated circuits for well pumps, barns, garages and shop tools. See dedicated circuits.
Grounding two-prong outlets and adding GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, basements and outdoor spots.
Standby generators with automatic transfer switches, sized to your panel and your priorities.
Whole-home surge protection, inexpensive protection for well pump controls, HVAC boards and everything else with a circuit board in it.
Permits for electrical work in Perry County come from the municipality under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code. Most townships and boroughs here use a third-party inspection agency, each with its own process. So a panel upgrade in Marysville and a panel upgrade in Millerstown go through different offices. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector on site. It is part of the quoted price.
Then there is the utility. Perry County has three: PPL Electric Utilities, Penelec and Duncannon's borough electric system. A service upgrade or a new meter base requires a scheduled disconnect and reconnect with the right one, and we set that up. When lines go down or the whole road is dark, that is the utility's repair. When it is just your house, one circuit, or a warm panel, that is inside the meter and it is our job, any hour.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to resolve your electrical woes.

Mike from Thomas Edison Electric replaced our out-of-service-life whole-house surge protectors and repaired a lighting fixture for our deck. He did an excellent professional job. He didn't try to sell us things we didn't need. I highly recommend Mike.

Perry County Electrical FAQs
We tell you the dispatch fee up front when you call. The electrician arrives in a stocked TEE van, looks the job over, and puts the price in writing. Nothing starts until you approve it. If we are late for the window we gave you, we waive the dispatch fee.
Both, in different roles. Duncannon runs its own borough electric system. So we schedule the disconnect and reconnect at the meter with the borough rather than PPL or Penelec. Everything else, the new panel, the meter base, the permit and the inspection, is our work. You make one call, to us, and we coordinate.
Maybe not. A 100-amp panel from 1976 fit a smaller electrical life. Well pumps, heat pumps and shop equipment all pull hard. We run a load calculation before adding anything. If there is room, we add dedicated circuits. If not, we quote a 200-amp upgrade so you can decide with real numbers.
Look outside. If neighbors on your line are dark too, call your provider: PPL, Penelec or Duncannon borough. When only your house is out, check the main breaker. If it will not reset, or it trips again, stop and call us. A breaker that refuses to hold is protecting you from something, and we will find it.
