The Thomas Edison difference
A Pittston electrician from Thomas Edison Electric covers all three of the city's ZIP codes, 18640, 18641 and 18643. Duryea sits 2.2 miles off and Wyoming 2.7, with Luzerne, Kingston, Wilkes-Barre and Shavertown further out, all part of Luzerne County.
The electrician who shows up works for Thomas Edison Electric directly, not through a subcontractor, and leaves for the call from home in a fully stocked TEE van. We're licensed under PA075449, fully insured, and answer 24/7, 365 days a year, with a written quote before work starts.
Knob-and-tube remnants, fuse boxes and 60-amp service are routine work for us.

Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
The typical Pittston home dates to 1947. Houses from that era often still carry knob-and-tube remnants, a fuse box instead of breakers, 60-amp service, and outlets with no ground wire.
We check the panel and the grounding first, then scope what the rest of the house needs. A fuse box becomes a breaker panel through circuit breaker repair and upgrades, and knob-and-tube segments get traced and retired rather than just capped. City blocks here also mean older service drops and shared walls, so we check the whole path from meter to panel, not just the panel itself.
A 1947 Pittston house was wired for a much smaller electrical load than most homes carry today. We start with the panel.
A fuse box or a maxed-out 60-amp service becomes a modern breaker panel through circuit breaker repair and upgrades. Knob-and-tube segments get traced and retired, not just capped off and forgotten. Ungrounded outlets get GFCI protection where a full rewire isn't the next step.
Once the panel has room, a backup generator or a dedicated circuit for a workshop becomes simple to add.
Being a city doesn't change how Pittston handles electrical permits. The state's Uniform Construction Code applies here just as it does in the smallest township, and plan review typically runs through a third-party agency rather than an in-house building department. We handle the filing and stand for the inspection.
PPL Electric Utilities supplies power across most of the city, with pockets served by UGI Electric or Claverack Rural Electric Cooperative. A panel or meter upgrade needs a disconnect and reconnect on the utility's end, and we build that into the schedule. A downed line or a dead block is the utility's problem to fix. Once power reaches your meter, everything past it belongs to us.
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!

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!

Pittston Electrical FAQs
Yes, all three ZIP codes. We answer calls around the clock, 365 days a year, holidays included. Electricians dispatch from home in fully stocked TEE vans, ready to finish the job that visit.
Old knob-and-tube itself isn't automatically dangerous, but connections degrade and it was never meant for modern loads. We trace it, retire what needs retiring, and quote the work in writing first.
The utility. If your block is dark, PPL, UGI or Claverack is already working on it. If only your panel or part of your house lost power, that's ours to fix, any hour.
Yes. Pittston issues permits under the state's Uniform Construction Code, and we handle the filing and the inspection. The cost sits in your written quote before work begins.
