Electrical Service in Prospect Park Borough
Houses change hands, and a 1949 house brings paperwork with it. A buyer's inspector lists the two-prong outlets, the open junction box in the basement, the fuse panel and the knob-and-tube remnants behind it. Sellers want the list cleared; buyers want to know what it costs. We do both, with a written price per item.
Grounding is the biggest line on most of those lists. Where a ground path exists, we install grounded outlets. Where it does not, GFCI protection meets code and makes the outlet safe for modern plugs. A fuse box becomes a breaker panel, and knob-and-tube remnants come out for good.
Our electricians are Thomas Edison Electric employees, not subcontractors. They leave from home, around Delaware County, in fully stocked TEE vans. Late on our part means the dispatch fee comes off.
Common Electrical Projects in Prospect Park Homes
Sale inspections drive a lot of our Prospect Park work. We clear code violations item by item: ungrounded outlets, missing GFCI protection, open splices, double-tapped breakers. Each fix carries its own price, so a seller can choose what to do before listing and a buyer can plan for the rest.
For owners staying put, an electrical safety inspection finds the same issues before they become a problem. Then the fuse box gives way to a breaker panel, and any basement wiring that took water in the Ida flooding of September 2021 gets a close look.
Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Prospect Park
Prospect Park Borough issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code. As in most of Delaware County, a third-party agency reviews the plans and inspects the finished work. Panel changes and new circuits need a permit, and we take care of it: the filing, the inspection date and the inspector's visit. You see the fee on the quote before you approve anything.
PECO Energy Company delivers electricity to Prospect Park. A panel replacement needs a PECO meter pull and a reconnect after inspection, and we book both. Street outages go to PECO. Everything inside the meter is ours, any hour.

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.

Klaus, Mike and Jim were amazing in getting power back to my barn. Our previous underground line failed and Thomas Edison was able to get a new line installed and powered all within 2 days of my call. Mike and Klaus worked late into the night to make sure we got power back on. Thanks for a great job!!!

Prospect Park Electrical FAQs
The inspector flagged two-prong outlets in the Prospect Park house I am buying. Is that a big job?
Usually not. Each outlet gets a ground if the box has one, or a GFCI device if it does not. Both satisfy code. We count the outlets, price the work per item in writing, and most of it fits in a single visit from a stocked van.
Can I sell a Prospect Park house that still has a fuse box?
You can. A fuse box is legal, and a buyer may accept it. Many ask for a breaker panel instead. We quote the panel replacement in writing so you can decide whether to do it before listing or leave it for the buyer.
What does a safety inspection cover in a 1949 Prospect Park home?
The panel, the grounding, the outlets, the visible wiring and any knob-and-tube remnants in the attic or basement. We test GFCI devices, check for double-tapped breakers and look for open splices. You get a written report and a written price for anything worth fixing.
The inspector found live knob-and-tube in my attic. Do I have to remove it?
Remove or replace, yes, when it still carries load. Knob-and-tube has no ground and should never sit under insulation. We trace the run, disconnect it and pull new cable to the same outlets and lights. Dead remnants can stay, but we confirm they are truly dead first.
