Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Honesdale's typical home dates to 1952, decades older than most of the county. Knob-and-tube remnants, fuse boxes, 60 amp services and ungrounded outlets are still common finds behind the walls. None of that is unusual for a house this age, and none of it has to stay that way.
Our electricians cover the borough and the townships around it, from Prompton and White Mills to Beach Lake, all from their own stocked vans. Call 215-227-7000 any hour.
PPL Electric Utilities serves Honesdale, with Penelec covering other parts of Wayne County. A rewire or panel swap means coordinating the meter side with whichever one bills your address.
A 1952 Honesdale home often still has a fuse box instead of breakers, and some rooms may run on knob-and-tube wiring behind the plaster. Replacing the fuse box with a modern panel through circuit breaker repair and upgrades adds room for the appliances a 1952 kitchen never had.
Ungrounded, two-prong outlets are common too. We ground what can be grounded and add GFCI protection where a true ground is not practical. A safety inspection is the clearest way to know where an older Honesdale house stands.
Honesdale Borough issues electrical permits under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, like every municipality in the state. As in most of Wayne County, the borough relies on a third-party inspection agency rather than running its own building department. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection.
PPL Electric Utilities serves Honesdale, with Penelec covering other parts of the county. A panel swap or new service needs a disconnect and reconnect at the meter, and we book both. Everything from the meter into the house is ours, at any hour.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to resolve your electrical woes.

Mike from Thomas Edison Electric replaced our out-of-service-life whole-house surge protectors and repaired a lighting fixture for our deck. He did an excellent professional job. He didn't try to sell us things we didn't need. I highly recommend Mike.

Absolutely thrilled with our electrician Dennis! He was very knowledgeable and polite. Made this process very easy and stress free. We had two light fixtures put in along with an exhaust fan, cleaned up after and everything. Highly recommend this company and their electrician!

Honesdale Electrical FAQs
Not automatically, but it was never built for today's loads, and its insulation gets brittle with age. We check what is active and rewire what matters most.
Yes, one of our more common calls here. A 1952-era fuse box gets swapped for a modern breaker panel, clearing the way for a generator or EV charger later.
Honesdale Borough does, under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, using a third-party inspection agency like most of Wayne County.
Usually not without help. A 60 amp service common in a 1952 home leaves little room for a Level 2 charger. We run a load calculation, and a panel upgrade usually solves it.
