Older Wiring in Honesdale Homes
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.
Common Electrical Projects in Honesdale Homes
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.
Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Honesdale
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.

Such a positive experience! Hector swapped our old can lights for efficient new LEDs, and it looks amazing. His attention to detail was so good…when the original lights he purchased didn’t fit quite right, he went back to the store for a more precise fit. Highly recommend Thomas Edison electric!

Honesdale Electrical FAQs
Is knob-and-tube wiring dangerous in a Honesdale home?
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.
Can you replace an old fuse box in Honesdale?
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.
Who issues electrical permits in Honesdale?
Honesdale Borough does, under Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code, using a third-party inspection agency like most of Wayne County.
Can an old Honesdale service handle an EV charger?
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.
