Allentown electrical inspections office
Any new service install or panel upgrade in Allentown needs a PPL service-installation inspection to confirm the work meets PPL safety standards before the meter is connected.
Office address
PPL Electric Utilities
827 Hausman Road
Allentown, PA 18104-9392
Tip: schedule the inspection at least 5 business days before you need the meter set. Faulty grounding is the most common failure on residential service installs.
