Professional electricians in Swarthmore, PA — 37+ years experience, NEC compliant, veteran-owned and operated.
Our full range of electrical services covers everything your home or business needs — all performed to current NEC code.
We disconnect the utility feed, swap your outdated panel for a modern load center, re-land every circuit on correctly rated breakers, and coordinate the final inspection with your municipality.
Breakers that trip repeatedly are warning you of a serious problem. Forcing them back on risks fire or electrocution. Our electricians safely diagnose whether the issue is the breaker, the wiring, or an overload.
Our electricians locate the nearest power source, run new wiring through your walls, install the outlet box, and test the circuit to confirm safe, reliable operation.
Ceiling fans involve heavy fixtures and live wiring above your head. Our licensed electricians ensure every connection is secure, every mount is load-rated, and every fan runs safely.
Homes built before 1980 often have degraded insulation, undersized circuits, or knob-and-tube wiring that insurance companies flag as unacceptable. Our licensed electricians bring your wiring up to current NEC standards.
An electrical inspection reveals hidden hazards, code violations, and aging components before they cause problems. Protect your investment whether you are buying, selling, or simply maintaining your home.
We review your project requirements, pull necessary permits, install wiring and devices using commercial-grade materials, and schedule the final inspection to close out the permit properly.
Outdoor wiring must withstand moisture, temperature swings, and soil contact. Our electricians use UL-listed wet-rated fixtures, GFCI-protected circuits, and proper burial depths to ensure lasting safety.
We assess your panel capacity, install a dedicated 240V circuit, mount the charging unit in your garage or driveway, and handle all permits and inspections from start to finish.
Commercial electrical work requires strict code compliance, proper load calculations, and coordination with inspectors and general contractors. Our licensed commercial electricians deliver permitted, inspected, and insured work on every project.
Our licensed electricians handle every step of your generator install, from sizing the unit and pouring the pad to wiring the automatic transfer switch and final testing.
Ignoring electrical problems lets them get worse. Loose connections, arcing wires, and overloaded circuits cause thousands of house fires each year. Our licensed team fixes issues safely, the first time.
We install hardwired smoke detectors in every required location, interconnect them so all units sound together, add battery backup, and test the full system before we leave.
CO detector placement matters as much as having one. Installed too high, too low, or too far from sources, they may not alarm in time. Our electricians follow manufacturer and code guidelines precisely.
Professionally wired security cameras deliver reliable 24/7 recording without Wi-Fi dropouts or battery hassles. Protect your home and family with a surveillance system you can count on.
Electrical problems often hide behind walls where they quietly worsen. Our licensed electricians follow a systematic diagnostic process to find issues before they become fire hazards or safety threats.
We install a dedicated 240V circuit from your panel to the equipment pad, wire the GFCI disconnect within sight of the unit, bond all metal components, and verify ground fault protection.
We mount your Ring doorbell at the optimal height, run low-voltage wiring from your existing doorbell transformer, and configure the app so you are up and running in one visit.
Aluminum wiring installed in homes from the 1960s and 1970s is a documented fire hazard. Replacing it with modern copper wiring dramatically reduces your risk and may lower your insurance premiums.
We install a Type 2 surge protection device directly at your electrical panel, wire it to a dedicated double-pole breaker, and verify the grounding system that makes it effective.
We install smart switches, dimmers, and outlets that work with your existing Wi-Fi network, set up automation routines, and ensure every device has the neutral wire and load capacity it requires.
Heavy chandeliers, track lighting, and pendant fixtures require properly rated electrical boxes and secure mounting. Our electricians ensure every installation is safe, level, and wired correctly.
Recessed lighting installed too close to insulation or with incorrect housings is a fire risk. Our electricians use only IC-rated, airtight fixtures and verify every connection for safe operation.
