We offer emergency repairs, generator inspections, third-party compliance checks, residential/commercial wiring, and chrome plating. Services include PECO-certified reintroduction of service and high-voltage work.

No, state regulations require separation of repair and inspection roles. We specialize in unbiased third-party assessments but can refer qualified contractors for repairs.
What requires electrical re-introduction service?
Service reconnection after disconnection due to safety hazards, non-payment, or major renovations. PECO mandates inspections for structural integrity, meter sockets, and panel compliance before restoring power.
