Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Towanda's electric grid is split five ways, which is more than almost anywhere else we work. PPL Electric Utilities bills most of the borough, and Claverack, Tri-County and Sullivan County rural electric cooperatives, plus Met-Ed/Penelec, each hold territory close by. We ask which one is on your bill before quoting any service upgrade, since meter requirements differ by provider.
Housing here tends toward 1938, so knob-and-tube remnants, 60-amp fuse boxes and ungrounded outlets are still common finds behind the walls.
Our electricians are directly employed, not subcontracted, so the crew working a Towanda panel swap also covers Wysox and Monroeton that same week.
The fuse box is usually the first flag on a Towanda service call. Sixty amps was standard in 1938, and fuses for these panels get harder to source every year. A 200-amp upgrade solves both problems and gives the house real headroom.
Behind the fuse box, knob-and-tube conductors are common, especially in the older sections of town. The insulation turns brittle over the decades, so we trace each run before deciding what stays and what goes.
Two-prong outlets round out the era. Grounding them, or adding GFCI protection, finishes most Towanda calls, and a home EV charger is a common addition once the panel has room.
Towanda Borough requires a permit under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code for any panel replacement or new circuit, and like most boroughs, it works through a third-party inspection agency rather than its own building department. We file the paperwork, schedule the inspection and stand with the inspector on site.
On the utility side, PPL, Penelec and the three rural cooperatives each run their own service upgrade process. We confirm which one bills you first, then submit what they need. A line down after a storm is the utility's repair. Everything from the meter into the house 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!

Towanda Electrical FAQs
Yes, every night of the year, holidays included. Our electricians live around Bradford County rather than driving in from somewhere else, so they arrive in a fully stocked TEE van ready to make the repair that same visit. Call 215-227-7000 anytime.
That usually points to something on your side of the meter, not the utility's. A tripped main breaker, a failed panel or a bad connection can cut your power while the street stays lit. Call us and we'll track it down. A whole-block outage is PPL or your cooperative's fix.
It depends on your address. PPL Electric Utilities covers most of the borough, while Claverack, Tri-County or Sullivan County cooperatives serve some surrounding areas. Tell us your address and we'll confirm before quoting.
Yes, and we handle the whole thing. The borough requires a permit for any panel replacement, reviewed through a third-party inspection agency. We file it, schedule the inspection and coordinate the utility disconnect so the job wraps in one visit.
