The Thomas Edison difference
Need a Shippensburg electrician? Thomas Edison Electric covers this Cumberland County borough of 5,620 people and ZIP 17257, plus Newburg and Walnut Bottom just up the road. Houses here typically date to 1953, old enough that fuse boxes, 60-amp service and ungrounded outlets still show up more often than you'd expect.
We send direct employees, never subcontractors, and each one dispatches from home in a fully stocked TEE van. Call 215-227-7000 any hour and you'll reach a real electrician, not an answering service, with PA license PA075449 backing every job.
Every Shippensburg job goes to a direct TEE employee dispatching from home in a stocked van.
A 1953 panel gets swapped for a modern one sized to your actual load.
Nights, weekends and holidays, the phone gets answered.
No surprise number at the end.
Miss the window and the dispatch fee is gone.
Over 37,000 jobs completed since 2021, rated 4.8 stars on Google.
We're dedicated to building lasting relationships with every customer through exceptional service and guaranteed results.

Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
A fuse box from the Eisenhower era wasn't built for a modern kitchen, let alone a microwave, an air fryer and a laptop charger running at once. Breakers trip. Lights dim when the fridge kicks on. None of that means the house is unsafe, just that the panel is working harder than it was designed to.
We replace fuse panels with modern breaker boxes sized for how you actually live now, and correct ungrounded outlets room by room. If you're planning bigger work, like a home EV charger or a backup generator, we start with a look at what the existing service can handle.
Fuse box swaps top the list in Shippensburg, especially in homes built around 1953 that never moved past 60-amp service. A circuit breaker repair and upgrade modernizes the panel and clears room for more circuits.
Ungrounded outlets are the other regular call, particularly in bathrooms and kitchens where a two-prong receptacle sits near water. We add grounding or GFCI protection so the outlet actually protects you. For anyone renovating, dedicated circuits keep new appliances from tripping an already-busy panel.
Shippensburg Borough issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, and it contracts inspections out to a third-party agency rather than staffing its own building department, the same setup you'll find in most Cumberland County towns. We file the permit and coordinate the inspection so you don't have to track down who to call.
PPL Electric Utilities supplies power here. A service upgrade means PPL disconnects and reconnects at the meter, which we schedule directly. A neighborhood-wide outage is PPL's job to fix; a dark house on a lit street is ours.
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!

Had a back up generator installed by Dennis. He did a wonderful job. Dennis is very knowledgeable, thorough, patient and goes above and beyond. Will definitely be using Thomas Edison for all my electrical. Could not be happier.

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!

Shippensburg Electrical FAQs
Yes. Our line runs 24/7, 365 days a year, and the electrician who answers lives locally and dispatches from home in a fully stocked van. Nights, weekends and holidays are normal hours for us, not an emergency surcharge waiting to happen.
Not automatically, but it limits you. A 60-amp fuse panel from 1953 struggles with modern appliance loads and can't support things like a heat pump or EV charger. A breaker upgrade solves both the tripping and the capacity question at once.
That's PPL Electric Utilities. Outages on the pole or line side are theirs to restore. If your neighbors have lights and you don't, the trouble is likely inside your panel or wiring, and that's where we come in.
No. Weekend, holiday and overnight calls come at the same rate as a Tuesday afternoon. We also give you a written quote before work starts, so the price you see is the price you pay, whenever you call.
