The only requirement to appear on this page is a checked state electrical license, confirmed against the state licensing board as part of our approval process, that's why every listing above shows "License checked." Installers are listed alphabetically by default, not ranked by quality, and no installer pays for placement in that order. LumoWatt does not sell ranking. If paid placement is introduced, it will be clearly labeled and will not change the standard list order. Use the sort dropdown above to re-order the list yourself by years in business or how recently we checked a listing. See our editorial policy and listing standards & verification methodology for the full details.

Pennsylvania's outage risk is driven by Atlantic Nor'easters and heavy wet-snow and ice accumulation across its densely wooded terrain, plus summer thunderstorm and remnant-hurricane wind damage that regularly downs trees onto distribution lines; Philadelphia's dense urban grid sees frequent downed-limb outages, Pittsburgh's hilly, river-valley terrain adds prolonged restoration times after ice storms, and Reading's inland location in the Schuylkill Valley shares similar central-PA ice-storm exposure.
