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.
Brian Brown

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.

Customers get a plain-English explanation of what failed and why, a written price before the fix, and wiring that stays fixed after we drive away.

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.
