The Thomas Edison difference
A Thornton electrician from Thomas Edison Electric hears one question more than any other: what would it take to keep the lights on through the next storm? The remnants of Hurricane Ida cut power and flooded parts of Delaware County in September 2021, so it is a fair question in ZIP 19373. Thornton sits beside Glen Mills, 1.6 miles away, Chester Heights at 1.7, Gradyville at 2.2 and Lenni at 2.4, all inside Delaware County.

Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
A standby generator does the same thing every time the power drops: the transfer switch senses the outage, the unit starts and the circuits you chose come back within seconds. No cords, no trips outside in the rain. As a certified Generac dealer, we size the unit to your house, install it with the transfer switch and service it afterward.
The rest of our Thornton work follows the county pattern. Across Delaware County, fuse boxes, 60-amp services and ungrounded outlets remain common in older houses, and knob-and-tube remnants still turn up. A generator install often reveals a panel with no room to spare, so a 200-amp panel and grounded outlets tend to join the project. Whole-house surge protection, which shields electronics when the grid flickers, finishes it off.
Every price goes on paper before the work begins. If we run late, we waive the dispatch fee.

Thornton is a village, not a borough, so the township issues its electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code. As across most of Delaware County, a third-party agency reviews the plans and inspects the work. A standby generator needs a permit, and so does a panel change. We file it, book the inspection and include the fee in the written quote.
PECO Energy Company delivers power to ZIP 19373. A generator with a transfer switch, or a service upgrade, involves PECO at the meter, and we coordinate the disconnect and reconnect. When a storm takes down the lines, PECO restores them. Everything from the meter into the house is ours, at any hour.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to resolve your electrical woes.

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!!!
