Wrapped up a panel installation at this Reading home where the owners were converting a closet into a dedicated utility space. We mounted the new box, landed all the circuits cleanly on the bus bars, and added an outlet at the bottom for convenience. The wood framing around the opening keeps things looking finished while allowing full access when service is needed. Smart planning during a remodel makes electrical work easier down the road.

Inspected a vintage Electri-Center panel at a 19607 property the owner recently purchased. These 200-amp units were workhorses in their day, but this one showed its age with discolored wiring and some corrosion on the bus bars. We documented everything and recommended a full replacement before the buyer moved in. Older panels like this can function for years but may not handle modern electrical demands safely.

This Reading homeowner wanted backup power capability, so we installed a generator transfer switch alongside their 200-amp panel. The green indicator lights confirm when utility power is flowing and when the generator takes over. Having those yellow lug covers in place keeps the main connections protected during any service work. Now when the power goes out, they can switch to generator backup in minutes instead of sitting in the dark.

Finished up a panel project at a 19606 home where space was tight but the homeowner needed more capacity. We squeezed the new box into their utility closet and ran fresh Romex circuits for a kitchen remodel they had planned. The Eaton surge protector we added gives them peace of mind during summer storms. A GFCI outlet next to the panel provides safe power for tools or a shop vac.

Upgraded this older Reading home with a new panel and whole-house surge protection. The original stone foundation meant we needed to mount everything on plywood for a solid backing. We also added a GFCI outlet right below the panel for plugging in work lights or charging tools during future maintenance. The Eaton surge unit guards against voltage spikes that can damage appliances and electronics throughout the house.

Checked out the service entrance at a 19611 home where the owner noticed their meter display flickering occasionally. The connections at the meter base looked solid, but the conduit seal had started to deteriorate. We resealed the entry point to keep moisture from getting in and verified all the wiring was secure. Small maintenance tasks like this can head off much bigger problems when storms roll through.

Spent the afternoon sorting out a wiring mess at this Reading residence. The previous owner had added circuits without much thought for organization, leaving a tangle of conductors that made troubleshooting nearly impossible. We traced every wire, identified what fed what, and reorganized the connections so future work won't be a headache. Panels like this benefit from professional attention before small issues become big ones. If your panel looks overwhelming, call now and let our Reading electrician team take a look.

Installed a pair of Square D disconnect switches at this Reading property for their HVAC equipment. Having dedicated disconnects right at the units makes servicing safer and meets code requirements. We ran rigid conduit overhead to protect the wiring and mounted both switches at the proper height for easy access. The HVAC technicians can now safely isolate power before working on either system without heading to the main panel.

Got an emergency call from a 19609 homeowner whose backyard outlet stopped working right before a family gathering. We found the weatherproof box had taken on moisture, and the transformer for their landscape lighting had failed. After replacing the damaged components and securing fresh wire connections with proper nuts, everything powered back up. Outdoor electrical boxes need regular attention since they're exposed to the elements constantly.

Stopped by this Bensalem home to troubleshoot intermittent power issues the owner had been dealing with for weeks. The main panel looked decent at first glance, but we found a few breakers that weren't seating properly on the bus bar. We reset everything, tightened the connections, and verified each circuit was functioning correctly. The telephone and coax setup nearby stayed untouched since it wasn't causing any problems.
