- Every breaker labeled on a printed schedule
- Permit filed where your township requires one

Schumann Electric transformed our outdated electrical system.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

About Schumann Electric
Craftsmen Who Love a Hard Puzzle
Troubleshooting is where 25 years of experience separates us from parts-swappers.
Anyone can replace an outlet. Finding out why that outlet keeps failing is the craft Schumann Electric has sharpened across Chester County since the 1990s. Our owner-led team approaches every service call like an investigation: test, isolate, prove, then repair. 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
What to know about size, cost, and time for an electrical panel installation
How long does electrical panel installation take?
Most homes finish within one working day. Older wiring, a relocated panel, or utility scheduling can add time, and we confirm the timeline in your written quote before the work begins.
Which panel size does electrical panel installation need?
That depends on the load calculation, not the house size. We total appliances, heating, and planned additions, then fit the panel size and breaker count that carry them safely with spare capacity.
Is a permit required for electrical panel installation in PA?
Chester County, PA townships typically require an electrical permit for a new panel. We check your township’s rules, file the permit where it applies, and schedule the required inspection.
Will power go off during electrical panel installation?
Yes, for part of the day. The utility disconnect and our wiring transfer take the house offline briefly, and we tell you the window in advance so you can plan around it.
What does electrical panel installation cost in Downingtown, PA?
Cost follows panel size, wiring condition, and any utility work. We inspect first and quote in writing, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Are sub-panels part of electrical panel installation?
Yes, when a garage, basement, or addition needs its own feed. We size the feeder to the load and confirm the main panel can support the extra circuits.
