Schumann Electric transformed our outdated electrical system. The team was professional, efficient, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Highly recommend!

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.

Schumann Electric is by far the best electrician I ever had. He comes when he says & updates when in route. Tom can handle any situation. He has moved switches anywhere i asked. Many outlets been updated. Added ceiling light where I had none. Fixed outside boxes & figured out why one didn't work. Noticed my whole house surge protector wasn't working. Put one in. He has everything that he needs with him always. Steve, his worker works just as hard as Tom does. He knows exactly what he is doing. They even clean up!Posted on Google![]()

First off I wanna start off by saying this is my first Google review. But this electrician deserves a five star Google review for how professional quality work and being on time.He installed a hot tub for me it was a lot work it was about a 100 foot run from the breaker to Hot tub. He explained everything that had to be done and when he started he showed me the work he’s done during the steps Of insulation to me that shows he was not hiding any mistakes or coverups. Very professional in my opinion I would use this electrician for anything else and for any of my friends or family I would definitely recommend him . For me the best and honest professional electrician out truly a great persons ShawnPosted on Google![]()

I can’t recommend Schumann Electric highly enough. After moving into our new home, Tom and Steve helped us update and improve some outdated electrical work, making sure everything was safe, reliable, and up to modern standards. They were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything along the way. Not to mention the communication with them on scheduling is so much better than any other company I have worked with. No back and forth between multiple parties. They get you scheduled and get the job done right. They also did an outdoor lighting project for us, and the results have been absolutely incredible. The lighting has completely transformed the look of our home — it truly makes our house stand out as one of the most beautiful on the street. Their attention to detail, craftsmanship, and design sense exceeded our expectations. Schumann is the type of electrician you hope to find: trustworthy, skilled, responsive, and genuinely proud of their work. We are extremely happy with everything they have done for us and will definitely be calling them for any future electrical needs.+1

Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns it, when it must go, what outdoor meter box replacement costs
Who pays for outdoor meter box replacement, me or the utility?
In Pennsylvania, the homeowner owns the socket that houses the meter, and the utility owns the meter inside it. You pay for the socket work, and the utility handles its own equipment.
Can outdoor meter box replacement happen without a power shutoff?
No. The utility must disconnect service first, then reseal and reconnect after our work. We schedule that handoff so your outage stays as short as possible.
When is outdoor meter box replacement urgent after a storm?
Rust holes, a cracked cover, water in the case, or a box pulling from the wall. Melted plastic or scorch marks mean stay clear and call us at once.
Does my township require a permit for outdoor meter box replacement?
Often yes, because the box is service equipment. We check your Chester County, PA township rules, file what applies, and coordinate any required inspection.
Which parts does outdoor meter box replacement include?
The socket, its weatherproof seal, the service conductor connections, and the grounding at the box. The utility supplies and reseals the meter itself.
What will outdoor meter box replacement cost near Downingtown, PA?
Cost depends on the socket type, wall condition, and utility scheduling. An on-site look comes first, then a fixed quote in writing.
