I had a great experience with Tom and his partner. They were professional, timely, responsive, and helped quickly switch out some circuit breakers that continued to trip. They also added in surge protection to mitigate power glitches that are common to my area.
Amanda Marsteller
Homeowner | Philadelphia, PA
We had an excellent experience with Tom’s technician who installed 2 brand new ceiling fans in our house as well as a new lighting fixture in our kitchen. He was fast yet thorough and made sure we were completely satisfied with the work before leaving, offering to handle anything else we needed.

Very Good Electrician – I had Schumann Electric out now I think for the 4th time in the past couple years. I will not use anyone else. This time it was to wire up our new hot tub. They are always on time and the job was completed as agreed.

Repair Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions Chester County homeowners ask when something stops working.
When does a tripping breaker need electrical repair?
Because something on that circuit is drawing more current than the breaker allows, or the breaker itself has weakened with age. A circuit that trips under a hair dryer is overloaded. A circuit that trips with nothing plugged in has a fault. We measure the load first, then decide which it is.
Does a dead outlet need urgent electrical repair?
Sometimes. A single dead outlet is often a failed device or a loose splice in the box behind it, and that can wait a few days. A dead outlet alongside a burning smell, a warm plate, or scorch marks is heat at a connection, and that gets same-day attention.
Can you repair a fault inside a finished wall?
Yes, and usually without opening it. We trace the run with a tone generator and narrow the fault to a section before any drywall is touched. When access is unavoidable, we cut one neat opening in the least visible place, and patching is discussed before we start.
When do you repair and when do you replace?
Whichever costs you less over ten years. One failed connection gets repaired. Brittle insulation, a recalled panel, or repeated failures on the same run get replaced, and we show you what we found before you decide. Both options are priced side by side.
How long does an electrical repair visit take?
Most single-circuit repairs finish within two hours, including diagnosis. Faults that cross several circuits, or houses where earlier work was done badly, can take a full day. We tell you the expected window once the cause is identified, not before.
Do I need a permit for electrical repairs?
Rarely. Straight repairs to existing circuits do not require one under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code. Replacing a panel, adding a circuit, or altering the service does. When a permit applies, we file it and meet the township inspector on site.
