Most electrical problems in a home start small. A breaker that trips once is easy to reset and forget. An outlet that goes dead gets worked around. A light that flickers gets written off as a bulb. The point where that stops being sensible is usually when the same problem comes back, or when the symptom turns out to be covering something that needs a proper look. That is where we come in, and it is where a phone call pays off faster than another reset.
We handle electrical repair and installation throughout Lehigh Township and the surrounding area, every day from 5:30 AM to 10:00 PM. Homeowners dealing with aging wiring, landlords turning over a rental, and businesses that need a circuit added or a panel looked at all reach us the same way: one call, a price before anything is scheduled, and a visit that covers what was agreed.
We are available at (484) 916-4289.
A price for electrical work is not a flat number that applies to every house. What moves a quote is the specific situation: what the fault turns out to be once it is traced, what has to be opened up to reach it, and whether the existing circuit or panel can carry the change. A straightforward outlet replacement in a home with modern wiring and a panel that has room is a different job from the same outlet in a house where the wiring behind it has not been touched in fifty years.
When you call, we ask the questions that shape the scope: what you are seeing, where in the house it is happening, and what the panel looks like if you know. That conversation gives us enough to put a price to the work before any visit is scheduled. If something turns up on-site that changes the scope, we explain it before the work continues. The price is confirmed before we start, and you know what it covers.
What does not change is how the process works. You get a straight answer on the call about what the job involves and what it will cost. Electrical work done to the standard the next inspection expects is what every quote is built around, not a number that gets revised at the end.
Electrical work fits into a renovation at a specific point, and getting that order wrong costs time. Framing has to be up before circuits can be roughed in. Drywall going up before the rough-in is inspected means opening it back up. Cabinets installed before the outlet locations are confirmed means relocating them or living with the placement.
The rough-in stage is when we run wire through open walls, set boxes, and get the panel ready for the new circuits. That happens after framing and before insulation or drywall. If a panel upgrade is part of the project, that work is scoped early so the rest of the renovation is not waiting on it.
Final connections come after drywall and paint: devices go in, fixtures get wired, and everything is tested before the space is finished. A renovation that does not account for both visits often ends up scheduling the second one in a hurry, which creates pressure that a planned project does not have.
An addition or a finished basement needs circuits sized for what the space will actually carry. A home office, a laundry room, or a workshop each puts a different load on the panel, and a panel that was already close to capacity before the project started may need to be assessed before the build-out begins. We look at what the existing service can support and tell you early whether the panel needs attention before the new circuits are added.
Lehigh Township's housing stock includes a lot of older construction, and older construction means electrical systems that were not designed for the loads a household puts on them today. The jobs below come up regularly here, and each one has a situation behind it that is worth understanding.
A home without proper grounding and bonding is one where a fault has nowhere safe to go. The symptom is sometimes a tingle from a faucet or an appliance, or a breaker that behaves strangely under load. More often there is no symptom at all until there is. Grounding corrections involve tracing what is present, identifying what is missing, and bringing the system into compliance. It is not dramatic work, but it matters.
A panel that is full, a breaker that will not hold a reset, or a fuse box that was never upgraded are all situations that need a panel conversation. We assess the existing service, calculate what the home actually draws, and size the replacement to handle current demand with room for what comes next. The wiring done properly, start to finish, is what makes a panel replacement last.
GFCI protection is required at outlets near water: kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and exterior locations. AFCI protection covers bedroom and living area circuits against arc faults in the wiring. Older homes throughout this area often have neither, and adding them is frequently part of a repair visit rather than a separate project. A dead outlet in a kitchen is sometimes a tripped GFCI two outlets away, which is a quick fix. A circuit that keeps tripping an AFCI breaker is pointing at a wiring fault that needs tracing. We'll trace it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
A surge protector installed at the panel catches voltage spikes before they reach the wiring and the devices connected to it. Nor'easters and ice storms across this region bring the kind of grid disruptions that send transient surges through the line when power is restored. A panel-level device handles what a power strip cannot. It is a natural addition during any panel or circuit job.
An outdoor outlet without a weatherproof cover is an exposure risk. We install in-use covers and weatherproof enclosures for exterior outlets, and we run new outdoor circuits where none currently exist. Garages, sheds, decks, and driveways all generate requests for outdoor power, and each installation is wired and protected for the location. We'll handle the wiring so you don't have to.
Getting your electrical problem handled starts with a quick call. We are available every day from 5:30 AM to 10:00 PM, including weekends, so a problem that comes up on a Saturday morning does not have to sit until Monday. Short-notice work is something we take on regularly. Ask what the schedule allows when you call and we will tell you directly what is available.
For tenants and businesses that cannot lose power for a full day, we scope the work on the call to understand what the job involves and what it will affect. That conversation shapes how the visit is planned. We show up, and we keep you posted until the job is done. You schedule it. We power it. Simple as that.
Not every electrical problem originates inside the house. The utility owns the line from the street to the meter. We work from the meter down: the service entrance, the panel, and everything inside. When a fault is upstream of the meter, it is the utility's repair to make, and we will tell you that on the call rather than sending someone out for work that is not ours to do.
The line between the two is not always obvious from the symptom. A partial power loss, for example, can point to a failed breaker inside the panel or to a problem with one leg of the service entrance. We work through the diagnostic to locate the fault, and if it turns out to sit on the utility's side, we explain what you need to report and who to call. We'll find the fault and fix it right, and we will not bill you for a repair that belongs to someone else.
We take calls from Lehigh Township and the surrounding Northampton County communities throughout our daily hours. That includes the neighboring areas of Cherryville, Laurys Station, Walnutport, Slatington, and Lower Towamensing Township. If you are not sure whether we cover your address, call and ask.
We cover the full range of electrical work across this area: repairs and troubleshooting, panel replacements and upgrades, outlet and lighting installation, rewiring, dedicated circuits, EV charger installation, generator hookups, and safety inspections. The service page has the full detail on each. For everything else, the call is where it starts.
An electrical inspection before you close gives you a clear picture of the panel condition, the wiring type, and whether the protection devices meet current standards. In a town with a significant share of older construction, that inspection sometimes turns up aluminum wiring, an undersized panel, or circuits that were modified without documentation. Knowing what is there before you own it lets you negotiate or plan the work rather than discover it after the fact. Call us to schedule an inspection before or shortly after closing.
Homes built before the 1970s in Northampton County frequently turn up knob-and-tube or aluminum branch wiring, panels that were never upgraded from fuse boxes, and circuits that have been extended or modified without proper grounding. GFCI and AFCI protection is also missing in many older homes, which becomes an issue during any inspection or sale. A safety inspection is the clearest way to find out what is present and what needs attention.
Yes. A detached garage or outbuilding needs its own subpanel or a circuit run from the main panel, depending on the load and the distance. We assess what the existing panel can support, run the circuit or install the subpanel, and wire the outlets and fixtures the space requires. Permit requirements for this kind of work vary by property and by what the circuit feeds, and we confirm what applies before the work is scheduled.
An outdoor outlet needs to be a GFCI-protected receptacle in a weatherproof box, with a cover rated for the level of exposure at that location. In-use covers are required where a cord will be left plugged in. We assess the location and install the right combination of protection for the conditions.
A price agreed before every visit. Clear scheduling every visit. Code-compliant every visit.

| Service | What It Covers | Ideal For | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical Panel Upgrades | Load calculation and panel sizing, Panel replacement from meter down, Subpanel installation, Service entrance upgrade | Homes adding an EV charger, a large appliance, or a home addition that pushes the existing panel past its capacity | Panel work is inspected to code before sign-off. We size the new panel for current demand and leave capacity for what comes next. |
