Service Area
Lewisburg is the heart of what we do — well over half of Clear Electric's work is right here in the borough and surrounding Union County. Older homes, realtor referrals, panel upgrades and everything in between.
Local electrician
More than 50% of our jobs are in Lewisburg. That means we know the borough's older housing stock inside out: 100-year-old wiring, fragile plaster, two-prong outlets, undersized panels, ungrounded circuits and the quirks of homes that have been added onto a half-dozen times. We focus on safe, careful work in old construction — not the new-build subdivisions on the edge of town. Realtors, property managers and inspectors regularly refer us for pre-sale electrical evaluations, punch-list repairs and closing-deadline panel upgrades.
Lewisburg's Market Street Historic District is the textbook example of why we built our company around older homes. Behind the brick facades and decorative dentil molding is a layered electrical history — original knob-and-tube from the early 1900s, a 1950s 60-amp upgrade, a 1980s subpanel for a window air conditioner, and a 2000s kitchen remodel tied into circuits that were never meant to carry that load. Our job is to read that history before we cut into anything, so the work we do today still makes sense fifty years from now.
We also do a steady amount of work around Bucknell — student rentals, faculty-owned homes in Linntown, and the small businesses along Market and Third Street that depend on reliable power. For landlords, we handle between-tenant electrical turnovers, AFCI/GFCI updates, smoke detector circuits and rental safety inspections on tight timelines. For Bucknell-area homeowners, we focus on getting old wiring safely out of walls and ceilings without tearing the house apart.
Out in East Buffalo and Kelly Townships, the work shifts to outbuildings, well pumps, septic alarms, long underground feeders and standby generators sized for full homes with electric heat or heat pumps. Whatever side of Lewisburg you're on, we treat the job the same way: clear estimate, clean install, labeled panel, and an honest conversation about what's worth doing now versus later.
Whether you need a quick repair or a planned project, Clear Electric serves Lewisburg homeowners, landlords, realtors and businesses with residential electrical service, commercial electrical work, 200A panel upgrades, and Generac standby generator installs. You can request a free written estimate any time, or call (570) 220-4671 to talk directly with our team.

Lewisburg's brick Federal-style and Victorian homes around Market Street and South Third were wired for a 1940s electric range and a couple of lamps — not modern HVAC, EVs and induction cooking. We replace 60A and 100A panels (often Federal Pacific or Zinsco) with neat 200A services, rebuild the meter base, coordinate the PPL disconnect, and label every circuit so the next owner can actually read it.
Read more about service upgrades & panelsMost pre-1940 Lewisburg homes — especially in the Market Street Historic District and around Bucknell — still hide knob-and-tube in walls and ceilings, two-prong receptacles in every room, and 1960s extension-cord-style splices buried in the attic. We rewire carefully, room by room, working around plaster, original trim and tin ceilings instead of through them.
Read more about old construction & rewiringLewisburg loses power every major ice storm and a few summer thunderstorms a year, and well pumps and sump pumps in East Buffalo and Kelly Townships make outages real fast. We size Generac standby units to actually carry the load — heat pump, well, sump, fridge and a few outlets — pour the pad, run the gas/propane and tie in the automatic transfer switch.
Read more about generac generator servicesHalf-lit rooms in century homes near Bucknell, backstabbed receptacles failing 80 years after install, a breaker that only trips when the dryer and microwave run together — Lewisburg troubleshooting is detective work. We trace the actual root cause instead of swapping parts until something stops sparking.
Read more about troubleshooting & repairsHot tubs in Linntown backyards, mini-splits in finished attics, wall ovens and induction ranges in kitchen remodels, dedicated freezer circuits in basements that flood — Lewisburg installations almost always involve squeezing one more dedicated circuit out of an already-tight older panel. We size the load and add capacity properly instead of just stealing a slot.

Knob-and-tube replacement, two-prong to grounded outlet conversions, AFCI/GFCI updates, and dedicated circuits for the kitchen/bath remodels that century-old wiring can't support.
Dead outlets, half-lit rooms, breakers that trip when the toaster runs — we trace it, fix it, and tell you why it happened so it doesn't come back.

"They rewired two of our rental units between tenants and were spotless about it. Inspector signed off same day."
Lewisburg FAQs
