About Abington
Abington Township is one of the largest and most established communities in Montgomery County, stretching along the Old York Road and Susquehanna Road corridors just north of the Philadelphia city line. The township grew rapidly in the decades after World War II, when families moved out from the city in search of space and good schools, and it has remained a stable, family-oriented community ever since. Villages within the township — McKinley, Roslyn, Crestmont, Ardsley, Rydal, and Meadowbrook among them — each carry their own identity while sharing the township's strong civic backbone.
Abington Memorial Hospital (now Jefferson Abington) anchors a healthcare and employment hub that gives the township real economic weight, and the Abington School District is one of the reasons families put down roots and stay for decades. The result is a community where homeowners genuinely invest in their properties over the long term — exactly the kind of place where careful, code-aware electrical work is valued.
Homes in Abington
Abington's housing stock spans a wide range. The bulk of it was built between the 1940s and the 1960s — Cape Cods, ranches, split-levels, and brick twins that filled in the township during the postwar boom. Closer to Jenkintown and along Old York Road there are older, larger homes from the early 1900s, while pockets of newer construction and infill have been added over the years on the township's outer edges.
What ties most of these homes together electrically is age. A great many Abington homes still run their original 100-amp service panels, and the older homes near the borough line sometimes carry fuse boxes or early wiring that predates modern standards. As families add central air, finish basements, set up home offices, and bring home electric vehicles, that original service quickly runs short — which is why panel upgrades and EV charger installations are among our most frequent jobs in the township.
Common Electrical Concerns in Abington
The most common electrical concern in Abington is simple capacity. A 100-amp panel that was generous for a 1950s ranch struggles to carry a modern household's combined load — central air, a kitchen full of appliances, home-office equipment, and a 240V EV charger all drawing at once. Breakers that trip under normal use are usually the first sign that the service has been outgrown.
Beyond capacity, we regularly help Abington homeowners replace ungrounded two-prong outlets with grounded, GFCI-protected circuits in kitchens, baths, and exterior areas, add dedicated circuits for new appliances and workshops, and evaluate older wiring in the township's pre-war homes. Where we find aging or hazardous panels — including Federal Pacific and Zinsco brands installed across the region from the 1950s through the 1980s — we treat replacement as a safety priority, not just a capacity upgrade.

Panel Upgrade Considerations
Most Abington homes still run original 100-amp service, and some near the borough line still have fuse boxes. A modern 200-amp upgrade is the foundation for central air, EV charging, and additions — and we handle the permit and inspection with Abington Township.

Abington's driveways and attached garages make Level 2 charging convenient, but a 1950s or 1960s panel rarely has the spare capacity for a dedicated 240V circuit. We assess your panel first so you know whether an upgrade is needed before installation.

With homes regularly changing hands across Abington's villages, a pre-purchase or pre-renovation safety inspection surfaces aging panels, ungrounded outlets, and hazardous FPE or Zinsco equipment that a standard home inspection won't fully evaluate.

The township's pre-war homes near Old York Road can carry cloth-insulated wiring and ungrounded outlets. We assess each system honestly and bring circuits up to grounded, GFCI-protected standards where the code and your safety require it.
