Your Local West Chester Electrician
A West Chester electrician is a licensed electrical contractor who provides residential and commercial electrical services to properties within West Chester Borough and surrounding Chester County townships.
These professionals handle panel upgrades, circuit repairs, outlet installations, and code compliance work for the borough's diverse housing stock—from 1800s rowhouses in the downtown historic district to 2010s construction in East Bradford Township.
West Chester is the county seat of Chester County, Pennsylvania. Population: approximately 20,500 residents in the borough, with tens of thousands more in adjacent townships like West Goshen, East Goshen, and Westtown.
The borough's architectural character creates specific electrical challenges.
Properties along Gay Street, Church Street, and High Street date from the 1790s through the Victorian era. These buildings were constructed long before household electricity existed.
D & D Electric has upgraded hundreds of these systems. Our master electricians coordinate with PECO for service entrance upgrades and with West Chester Borough for permit compliance—without compromising your home's historic character.

Common Electrical Issues in West Chester
D & D Electric has addressed these challenges in West Chester properties for over 38 years.
Downtown Historic District Wiring
Pre-1920 homes with knob-and-tube and deteriorated cloth insulation. 1920-1945 construction with 30-amp fuse boxes and ungrounded circuits. 1945-1965 homes with 60-amp service and aluminum branch wiring. Federal Pacific breakers from 1965-1990 that may not trip during overloads.
West Chester University Housing Challenges
Rental properties with high turnover and deferred maintenance. Overloaded circuits from space heaters, window AC units, and computing equipment. Extension cords used as permanent wiring. Missing or painted-over GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms.
Panel Upgrade Requirements
Your 1960s split-level on Roselyn Drive still has the original 100-amp panel. The breaker labels have faded. Two slots are occupied by tandem breakers that shouldn't be there. D & D Electric upgrades these panels to 200-amp service.
