The typical Scranton home dates to 1938, noticeably older than the county-wide average. That means fuse boxes standing in for breaker panels, 60-amp services strained by modern loads, and outlets with no ground wire at all. Knob-and-tube wiring is not unusual behind a wall in the city's oldest blocks, and we treat the panel as the starting point on almost every call.
PPL Electric Utilities serves the city. PPL owns the poles, the transformers and the meter, and PPL is who you call for a street-wide outage. Everything from the meter into the house is our side of the job, and we coordinate directly with PPL whenever a service upgrade needs a new meter base.
Our electricians also work Dunmore, Taylor, Old Forge, Dickson City and Olyphant, so you get the same crew that covers the rest of the county. Call 215-227-7000 whenever something needs attention.
