The Thomas Edison difference
Wellsboro, the county seat of Tioga County, gets its power from a utility that carries its name. Wellsboro Electric Company is the primary provider in the county. Around it, Penelec, Claverack Rural Electric Cooperative and Tri-County Rural Electric Cooperative each serve their own territory. Thomas Edison Electric's Tioga County electricians are part of a family-owned company, and we work with all four.
Our licensed electricians cover the whole county, from Wellsboro to Roaring Branch and the townships between. PA license PA075449, fully insured, rated 4.8 stars on Google. You get a written quote first, and we stand behind the number.
Wellsboro Electric, Penelec, Claverack REC or Tri-County REC, we know whose meter is on your house and how each handles an upgrade.
The electrician who serves Wellsboro leaves from home in a stocked TEE van, and we confirm the scope by phone so nothing is missing.
Aluminum branch circuits, 100 amp panels and ungrounded outlets are typical for the county median build year, and we bring them up to today's standards.

Let us start with who shows up, because it matters here. Our electricians work for us, not for a subcontractor. The ones who cover Tioga County leave from their own homes in the region. We still want a clear picture of the job before the van rolls. So expect a few questions on the phone. The payoff is a crew that arrives ready, with the panel, wire and fixtures in hand. The job finishes on the first visit. We also serve Bradford, Lycoming and Potter Counties.
Tioga County spans more than eleven hundred square miles, and four electric providers divide the service inside it. Wellsboro Electric Company is the primary provider. Penelec serves part of the county. Claverack Rural Electric Cooperative and Tri-County Rural Electric Cooperative each serve their members in other areas. When you need a service upgrade, a larger meter base or a relocated service entrance, we contact the right utility. Their responsibility ends at the meter. Ours starts there.
Inside the house we do everything. That means emergency repairs at any hour, panel replacement, aluminum wiring correction, dedicated circuits, generator transfer switches, EV chargers, lighting and data lines. Small jobs and large ones, on the same written-quote terms.

Homes in Tioga County have a median build year of 1972. There are two ways to approach a house from that era. The first is to fix what is unsafe. We secure aluminum branch wiring with approved copper connectors at every outlet, switch and fixture. Ungrounded two-prong outlets get a ground wire or a protected receptacle. We replace tired breakers. This is code violation repair, and that is usually all a house needs.
The second is to bring the house up to what you actually use. Builders sized a 100 amp panel from 1972 for a furnace, a fridge and a television. It cannot handle a heat pump, an electric range, a hot tub and a car charger too. That path means a 200 amp panel upgrade and dedicated circuits for the big appliances. For many rural Tioga County homes, it also means a standby generator, so the well pump keeps running when the lines do not.
We quote both paths in writing and tell you which one your house needs.
Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code applies in Tioga County, and the municipality where the house sits handles permits. Most townships and boroughs here do not employ their own inspector. They contract with a third-party inspection agency to review and inspect electrical work. We know how to work with that arrangement. That means filing the permit through your municipality and scheduling the inspection around your availability. We stay on the job until the inspector signs off.
Your utility adds a step on any project that touches the service. In Wellsboro Electric Company territory the disconnect and reconnect go through Wellsboro Electric. Penelec customers, Claverack members and Tri-County members each have their own contacts and meter specifications. We handle the calls and the forms. Once the meter is back on, the panel and every wire behind it are ours to answer for. The paperwork stays in your file for the next owner.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to fix your electrical problems.

had a great experience updating our service to 200 amp and replacing our panel. Technician came and diagnosed quickly and set up a quick appointment for the work. Mike and Jim gave great information on what the best solution was and worked quickly to implement. Shopped around for the quote initially, and will definitely be calling back for future service.

Malcolm, AJ and Zak came to my house to rewire my panel, run a heating wire, removed my old base board heating and verified everything was safe. They did a great job! Just see the before and after of the panel.

Don came out on the same day as I called in for a faulty ceiling fan. He installed the new fan I had already purchased. Cleaned up well after the installation. Very pleasant young man. Very satisfied with all his work! Thanks!

Tioga County Electrical FAQs
Yes. Wellsboro Electric Company is the primary utility in Tioga County. We coordinate service upgrades, meter base changes and reconnects with them the same way we do with any provider. The same code governs the wiring from the meter into your home, regardless of who supplies the power. That part is our job.
Yes. The electricians who answer Tioga County calls live and work around the county. They are on our payroll. Expect a detailed phone conversation first, a van loaded for your specific job, and a realistic arrival window. If we miss that window, we waive the dispatch fee. Getting there on time is our problem to manage, not yours.
It means the circuit has no ground, which was normal for homes built around 1972, the Tioga County median. Without a ground, surge protectors do not work properly and a fault has nowhere safe to go. We can add grounds where the wiring allows or install GFCI-protected replacements where it does not. Either is a permitted, inspected fix.
Your address, which utility sends your electric bill, and a description of the problem or project. Photos of the panel and its label help a lot. With that, we can quote most jobs in writing before we come out. We also make sure the van carries what your Tioga County job needs.
