Few things test your patience like a power outage that drags on while the food in your fridge slowly gives up and the rest of the house sits dark and silent. Revival Electric takes that frustration off the table with dependable generator services for homeowners and businesses throughout Hellertown, PA, and the surrounding areas. Our whole reason for being here is to keep your power flowing when the grid lets you down, so a storm rolling through never means your whole routine grinds to a halt.
Based in Hellertown, PA, Revival Electric is a locally rooted electrical company. Our team specializes in setting up, servicing, and troubleshooting backup power systems of nearly every shape and size. From standby units that switch on by themselves to transfer switches, interlock kits, and ongoing service plans, generators are a big part of what we do day in and day out, and we handle the whole process from the first walk-through to the final test.

The problem usually shows up at the worst possible moment. A storm knocks out the grid, and suddenly your sump pump stops, the heat shuts off, the fridge starts warming up, and anyone relying on medical equipment is left scrambling. For most Pennsylvanians, an outage is more than an inconvenience, since it can mean a flooded basement, spoiled groceries, or a genuinely unsafe situation depending on the weather and who's home.
The cause is simpler than people expect. Aging utility lines, overloaded grids, fallen trees, and heavy storms all put strain on a system that was never built to be bulletproof. When any one of those gives out, your home has no backup of its own to fall back on, so you're stuck waiting on the power company along with everyone else in the neighborhood. Without a generator in place, your house is completely at the mercy of the grid.
Here's where we come in. One of our electricians will sit down with you to figure out how much power you actually need, then map out the right backup setup for your home or business. We size the unit, handle the generator installation, wire in a transfer switch to ensure a safe changeover, and coordinate any permits and inspections that accompany the installation. Every step of the process is handled by a licensed electrician who treats your property with care, and we walk you through how the whole system works before we ever pack up.
The result is a home or business that keeps humming no matter what the grid is doing. When the lights flicker out down the street, yours stay on, the heat keeps running, and you're not standing in the dark wondering how long it'll last. As your local electrical contractor, our goal is to leave you with a backup system you can count on and forget about until the day you really need it.
Our generator services help homes and businesses stay better prepared for the next outage.
Outages rarely send a warning, which is why a little planning ahead goes a long way. Sitting down with us to map out a backup generator strategy means you already know what kicks in and when, long before the next storm shows up.
Every property has its own power needs, so we start by matching the right system to yours. A portable generator can cover the essentials for a smaller home, while larger setups keep an entire property running without skipping a beat.
Homes and businesses both land on our schedule, and we're comfortable in either setting. Whether you need a home generator to protect your family during outages or a heavier system to keep a business open, our team has it covered.
Getting a generator wired into your property properly takes more than just plugging something in. Our crew handles the connections, wiring, and safety checks so the unit integrates cleanly with your electrical system and works as it should.
For folks who want a budget-friendly way to run a generator safely, an interlock kit is a solid option. We install these so you can power select circuits without the risk of backfeed, keeping you and any utility workers out of harm's way.
A backup system only helps if it actually starts when called on, and regular maintenance is how you make sure of that. Through our maintenance plan, we keep yours tested, serviced, and ready, so there are no nasty surprises during an outage.
When a generator acts up or quits altogether, we track down what's going on. Our team diagnoses the issue, walks you through the fix, and handles any needed replacement of worn or failed parts to get the system back in working order.
Standby units are the hands-off favorite, switching on automatically the moment your power drops. We size and place the unit, wire it in, and test the whole setup so it's ready to take over on its own.
A transfer switch is the piece that lets your generator take the reins safely once the grid goes down. Installing one correctly keeps the handoff smooth and protects your home's wiring.
When you'd rather not pick and choose which circuits stay live, a whole-home unit keeps everything running. Our whole-house systems cover the entire property, so the lights, heat, appliances, and everything else carry on as if nothing happened.
Got a new electric vehicle (EV) and a charging situation that just is not cutting it? Our EV charger installation service sets you up with a Level 2 station from ChargePoint, Tesla, or JuiceBox, along with the dedicated circuit it requires and a panel check to ensure everything can handle the load.
Behind every wall is wiring you rarely think about until it starts giving you grief, and that's where our electrical rewiring service comes in. We tackle everything from a single outlet to a complete whole-home rewire, swapping out knob-and-tube and aluminum wiring, adding circuits, updating service entrances and meter sockets, and handling grounding and bonding so your home meets today's code.
Modern homes ask a lot of their electrical systems, and an older panel can quickly run out of room to keep up. Our electrical panel upgrades cover main panel and fuse box replacements, subpanel installs, breaker and meter upgrades, and the utility coordination that ties it all together.
Planning a new build or finally tackling that remodel you have been putting off? Our new construction and renovation electrical services handle the wiring from the blueprint stage through the final outlet, covering custom home systems, garage wiring, home additions, and kitchen and bathroom remodels.
Heavy-duty appliances that draw a lot of power can trip your breakers if they share a line with everything else. With our circuit installation and dedicated circuits service, we give those big draws their own dedicated path, wiring up kitchens, laundry rooms, garages, workshops, hot tubs, spas, pool equipment, and HVAC systems.
Your solar panels handle the sunshine up top, but the electrical gear that makes them useful needs a little attention now and then, and that's our solar maintenance in a nutshell. We take care of the in-the-house side, including disconnects, inverter changeouts, battery installs, wiring, and system troubleshooting, while leaving the rooftop panels themselves to the roofing folks.
When the electrical side of your business hiccups, the clock starts ticking and so do the costs, which is why our commercial electrical services aim to keep you up and running. We take on commercial rewiring, tenant fit-outs, panel installations, service upgrades, lighting retrofits, dedicated equipment circuits, exit signs, and low-voltage work such as camera systems.
A backup power system is only as good as the people who put it in, so here's what comes standard when you work with us.
Generac generator systems, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) safety standards, and North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) solar technologies are all areas in which our team holds certifications.

Yes, a licensed electrician can install a whole-home generator in Hellertown, PA, when the project involves electrical hookups, transfer switches, interlock kits, panel connections, and load planning. Generator services should include a careful look at what the home or business needs to keep running during an outage.
Most backup generator setups require a transfer switch or an approved interlock kit to ensure power moves safely between the generator and the electrical system. An electrician can review the generator, panel, and building setup to help prevent backfeeding, overloaded circuits, and unsafe connections.
Most generators should receive regular maintenance at least once a year, especially before heavy storm seasons or winter weather in Eastern Pennsylvania. Generator maintenance helps catch battery issues, connection problems, worn parts, and startup troubles before the next outage occurs.
Start by checking the fuel supply, battery, breaker position, and any visible warning lights, but avoid taking apart electrical components yourself. If the generator still won't start, an electrician can safely troubleshoot the wiring, transfer switch, hookups, and related electrical components.
Portable generators can help with smaller power needs, while standby generators usually work better for whole-home backup power and automatic outage support. A licensed electrician can help match the generator type to the home's panel, must-have circuits, and everyday power needs.
