The Thomas Edison difference
Need a Wilkes Barre electrician? Thomas Edison Electric covers the Luzerne County seat, from ZIP 18701 downtown out through 18702, 18711 and the rest. Kingston sits 1.4 miles off, Luzerne 2.9 and Plymouth 3.3. Our electricians dispatch from their own homes in fully stocked TEE vans, so a call in the city gets the same fast, local response as a call anywhere else in the county.
We are a family-owned, multigenerational company, licensed under PA075449 and fully insured. Every job comes with a written quote before work starts, and if we are late, we waive the dispatch fee. Call 215-227-7000 any hour, including nights and holidays.
From downtown Wilkes Barre out to Kingston and Plymouth, the same licensed crew answers the call.
Aluminum wiring, older panels and recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco brands are routine work for us.
Crews dispatch from their own homes across the county, not a distant yard.
We schedule meter and service work no matter which one bills your address.
Nights, weekends and holidays, a licensed electrician answers the phone.
PA075449 license, full insurance, and a 4.8-star Google average built on completed jobs.

Your time is precious. If we're late, we'll waive your dispatch fee.
Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
As the county seat, Wilkes Barre has more housing variety than its smaller neighbors, from older rowhomes near downtown to newer construction farther out. Older sections of the city still carry 100-amp panels and, now and then, a recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco breaker box, with aluminum branch wiring in houses from the same stretch of years. A 200-amp panel upgrade is one of our most common calls here.
PPL Electric Utilities powers most of the city, with UGI Electric and the Claverack Rural Electric Cooperative serving other pockets of the county. We coordinate meter work and service upgrades with whichever one bills you. Everything from the meter in, including a home EV charger, is our job.

The city issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, typically through a third-party inspection agency rather than a dedicated in-house department. We file the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector, so the process does not fall on you.
PPL Electric Utilities serves most of Wilkes Barre, with UGI Electric and Claverack covering other parts of the county. Line damage and outages are the utility's to repair. Once power reaches your meter, the panel and wiring inside the house are ours, any hour of the day.
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!
