The Thomas Edison difference

Your Tobyhanna Electricians

Tobyhanna electricians from Thomas Edison Electric cover the township day and night, all year. Tobyhanna, ZIP 18466, is home to about 8,340 people in Monroe County, near Mount Pocono, 4.9 miles away, Pocono Summit, 5.0, and Pocono Pines, 5.3.

The electrician who answers your call is not a subcontractor picked up for the day. They work for us, they live in the area, and their van is stocked before the phone rings. We are a family-owned, multigenerational, award-winning company, licensed in Pennsylvania under PA075449 and insured. Every electrician we send has passed a background check and trains weekly on current code. If we run late, we waive the dispatch fee.

Built in the early 1980s

Copper wiring is standard in Tobyhanna, but 100 to 150-amp panels often run short once a heat pump or EV charger is added.

Storm-ready generators

Winter storms and downed trees cause real outages here. We size, permit and install standby generators with automatic transfer switches, as a certified Generac dealer.

Direct employees, no subcontractors

Our electricians live around Monroe County and dispatch from their own homes in stocked TEE vans.

Written quotes first

The price is on paper before any work begins, one outlet or a full panel.

On call 24/7

Nights, weekends and holidays get the same licensed electrician as any other day.

Licensed, insured, proven

Electrical Service Across Tobyhanna

The typical Tobyhanna home dates to the early 1980s. Houses from that era usually have copper wiring already, which spares the township most of the aluminum problems older counties deal with. The limit instead is panel size. A 100 to 150-amp panel was ample when the house was built, and it runs out of room fast once a heat pump, hot tub or EV charger joins the load.

We answer 24/7, 365 days a year, with a written quote before work starts. The same crews who cover Tobyhanna also serve Mount Pocono, Pocono Pines and the rest of Monroe County.

Winter storms and downed trees are a recurring cause of extended outages in this part of the Poconos. A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch is not a luxury here, it is a normal precaution, and we install and service them as a certified Generac dealer.

Common Electrical Projects in Tobyhanna Homes

A Tobyhanna home from the early 1980s is usually in decent shape electrically, but a few things come up again and again. What we handle most:

  • Panel upgrades from 100 or 150 amps to 200. Heat pumps, hot tubs and EV chargers all compete for the same headroom, and a 200-amp panel solves it in one project.

  • Standby generator installation. A whole-home generator with an automatic transfer switch keeps the well pump, furnace and sump pump running through a long outage.

  • Whole-home surge protection, because the power that comes back after a storm does not always come back gently.

  • EV charger circuits. A Level 2 charger on its own dedicated circuit, sized to what your panel can actually support.

  • Dedicated circuits for hot tubs, workshops and mini-splits, common additions in a township like Tobyhanna.

Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Tobyhanna

Tobyhanna Township issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, and like most of Monroe County it relies on a third-party inspection agency rather than staffing its own building department. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection and are there when the inspector arrives, all part of your written quote.

PPL Electric Utilities serves most of Tobyhanna, with Met-Ed also present elsewhere in Monroe County. A panel upgrade, generator install or new meter base needs a scheduled disconnect and reconnect, which we set up with whichever utility bills you. Storm damage to the lines outside is the utility's repair. Everything from the meter into the house, generator transfer switch included, is ours, at any hour.

Tobyhanna Electrical FAQs

How big a generator does a Tobyhanna home need?

It depends on what you want to keep running through an outage. Furnace, well pump, sump pump, refrigerator and a few lights is a common starting point. We look at your panel, usually 100 to 150 amps, then size the generator and transfer switch to match, with options in writing.

Can my panel handle an EV charger?

Often, once we check it. A Level 2 charger needs its own dedicated circuit, and a panel from the early 1980s can be tight if a hot tub or heat pump is already on the load. We run the calculation first and quote a 200-amp upgrade if needed.

The power is out on my street. Do I call you or PPL?

Look outside first. If the whole street is dark, that is a PPL or Met-Ed outage, and the utility restores the lines. If only your house is dark, or a generator fails to transfer, that side is likely ours. Call us any hour.

Do you answer emergency calls in Tobyhanna overnight?

Yes. We answer 24/7, 365 days a year, holidays included, and our electricians live around Monroe County rather than dispatching from a single office. They arrive in stocked vans, ready to finish the repair on that visit. Call 610-782-9000 whenever the problem shows up.
