Whole House Rewiring In Saucon Valley, PA

Fresh Copper Circuits, A Right-Sized Panel, & Wiring Brought Up To Code
A Full Electrical Replacement Backed By A 2-Year Warranty & Lifetime Workmanship Coverage


An electrical system installed decades ago wasn’t built for how you live now. Modern kitchens, home offices, and heavy appliances pull more load than old circuits were meant to carry. Whole-house rewiring in Saucon Valley, PA replaces the aging system with new grounded wiring, updated devices, and a panel sized for real demand.

At Shafnisky Electric, we plan each rewire around your actual load and your home’s layout. We trace circuit paths, replace failing runs, and update the panel so power flows safely to every room.

The goal is a complete home electrical replacement that meets current code without turning your house upside down. You get clear scope, tidy work, and a warranty that stands behind the result.



How We Rewire A Home In Saucon Valley, PA

A whole-house rewire in Northampton County, PA, is a sequence, not a single task. Here’s how each stage moves your home from old wiring to a safe, code-compliant system.

Circuit Mapping & Load Review

We start by tracing every circuit and reviewing how much power your home actually draws. This tells us which runs are undersized, which lack a ground, and where new dedicated circuits should be installed.

Mapping first means we plan wire paths and avoid guesswork once walls are open. You end up with a rewire scoped to your home, not a one-size template that leaves rooms underpowered.

Old Wire Removal & Copper Runs

Next, we pull out aging or ungrounded wiring and run new grounded copper in its place. Fresh conductors handle today’s appliances, HVAC, and electronics without overheating or nuisance trips.

We route new wire through existing cavities wherever access allows. That keeps the home usable during the work and gives you circuits built to carry modern load for the long haul.

Panel Upgrade & Grounding

Then we upgrade the service panel using Square D or Siemens equipment and set the grounding correctly. A right-sized panel supports every new circuit and leaves headroom for future additions, such as a shop or an additional room.

Proper grounding is the backbone of electrical safety in the house. This step ties the whole system together so breakers trip when they should.

Devices, Testing, & Code Sign-Off

Finally, we install new outlets and switches, test each circuit, and coordinate the code inspection. Testing confirms every run is live, grounded, and correctly loaded before we close up.

We patch access points as we go so your walls and trim get cleaned up. The rewire includes wraps, documentation, and an inspection confirming full code compliance.


Deciding On Scope For Your Whole House Rewiring Project In Saucon Valley, PA

A few choices shape how a whole-house rewire runs in Northampton County, PA. Here’s how to think through each one before work starts.

Full Rewire Vs. Partial Circuit Replacement

If most of your wiring is old or ungrounded, a full whole house rewiring is the cleaner, safer path. If only a few circuits are failing, targeted replacement may cover it. We walk the system with you and recommend the scope that fixes the real problem without paying for work you don’t need.

Panel Capacity Now Or Extra Headroom

Your new panel should match current load, but leaving headroom is worth considering. A larger service supports future circuits for an addition, a workshop, or heavier appliances. We size the panel around what you run today and what you’re likely to add, so you’re not upgrading again in a few years.

Rewire During A Renovation Or On Its Own

Timing matters. If you’re already opening walls for a renovation, folding the rewire in reduces patching and cost. If not, we fish new wire through existing cavities to limit disruption. We’ll help you decide which approach fits your project and keeps electrical safety on schedule.

Whole House Rewiring FAQs For Saucon Valley, PA

Straight answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners planning a rewire.

Can I stay in my home during the rewire?

A: In most cases, yes. We work through the house in stages and keep power available to areas we aren't actively rewiring. For larger projects, we'll map out which circuits go offline and when, so you know what to expect each day.

Can you add smart wiring to an existing house?

A: Yes, we retrofit smart home wiring into existing homes across the area. We fish low-voltage wiring through existing wall and ceiling cavities to limit disruption. Access varies by house, so we assess the layout first and plan runs that minimize drywall work.

Can You Coordinate With My Gas Or Fuel Company When Installing My New Generator?

We always recommend a company we trust to complete the gas or fuel section of a generator installation, but we leave the final decision up to the customer. If you choose to work with an outside company, you would be responsible for scheduling gas and fuel services.

Can You Upgrade My Knob & Tube Wiring?

Absolutely! Although the process can be quite tedious and time-consuming, we are experts at upgrading Lehigh Valley homes and businesses from knob and tube wiring to safer, more efficient electrical systems.

Do I Need To Upgrade My Electrical Service To Have An EV Charger Installed?

With the invention of smart panels and load-shedding panels, upgrading your entire electrical system may not always be necessary. We have the expertise to prioritize your electrical service using smart home technology to assign priority levels, such as priority 3 for water heaters, priority 2 for cooking appliances, and priority 1 for electric vehicle chargers. This ensures that your car is ready for work tomorrow without overwhelming your electrical system.

Do you install automatic standby generators throughout Lehigh County, PA?

Yes. We install and wire residential standby generators in Limeport, PA and across Lehigh County, PA. Our two-state footprint covers the wider Lehigh Valley and North Jersey. Use the form below with your zip code, and we'll confirm coverage and schedule a sizing visit for your home.

Do You Offer Any Other Services Other Than Electrical Such As Plumbing Or HVAC?

No, we do not. As a company focused on providing our customers with top-tier services, we choose to focus solely on electrical solutions for the Lehigh Valley and Northern New Jersey. Be sure to check back later; we are always expanding the scope of our skill set.

Do You Provide Your Own Trenches Or Excavation Equipment?

We always use in-house equipment when we take on electrical projects that require trenching or excavation services. If we need an extra set of hands or vehicle, we have a secondary trusted crew of professionals from the Lehigh Valley area on standby, ready to give assistance.

Does the rewire include a code inspection?

A: Yes. We bring the system up to current code and coordinate the inspection as part of the project. Once the new wiring and panel pass inspection, you have documented code compliance and a system ready to meet modern electrical safety demands. You can explore more of our work across the region on ourservice areas overview.

How Do I Know If I Need After-Hour Emergency Electrical Service?

Not sure? Give us a call! We will troubleshoot over the phone for free to save you money and time, and we can even suggest options before our workers come in the morning during normal working hours. Our emergency services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

How do I know my house needs to be rewired?

A: Signs point to a rewire when you see ungrounded two-prong outlets, breakers that trip often, dimming lights, or warm outlet covers. Older wiring types like knob and tube or cloth-insulated conductors are strong reasons to plan a complete home electrical replacement. We assess the system and tell you what your house actually needs.

How does an automatic standby generator actually work?

An automatic standby generator starts on its own within seconds of a power outage and shuts down when utility power returns. It sits permanently outside on a pad, connected to your gas line and an automatic transfer switch.

You don't touch anything during an outage. The system senses the drop, starts, and automatically restores power to your circuits.

How High In The Air Can You Install, Replace, Or Rewire Signs & Lighting In North Jersey & PA?

When it comes to installing billboards, signs, and lighting designs high in the air, there’s no limit to how high we will work. We have worked over 120 feet in the past but have the equipment to go further.

How long does a generator install take?

Most residential standby generator installs finish in one to two days of on-site work. Sizing, permits, and equipment delivery happen before that. The install itself covers the pad, gas line coordination, transfer switch wiring, and startup testing. Larger whole-house systems with longer runs tend to be on the higher end of that range.

How long does a smart home wiring job take?

A: Timing depends on scope and whether it's new construction or a retrofit. A basic lighting control setup can be completed quickly, while a fully structured wiring backbone across a whole house takes longer. We provide a timeline for your scope so you know what to expect before we begin.

How long does whole house rewiring take?

A: Most whole-house rewires run from a few days to about two weeks. The timeline depends on the home's size, the number of circuits, and the accessibility of the walls. We give you a schedule up front and keep you posted as the work moves room to room.

I Have Knob & Tube Wiring, Do I Need To Rewire My Entire Lehigh Valley Home?

While it may not be mandatory in the state of Pennsylvania to upgrade from knob and tube wiring. It is essential to comply with local municipality codes when it comes to electrical requirements. Rather than requiring your entire home to be updated, bringing it up to code is often sufficient.

Natural gas or propane, which is better?

Natural gas is the simpler option when your home already has a utility gas line, since it never needs refilling. Propane is the right pick where there's no gas service, drawing from a tank you keep filled. We look at what's already at your home and how long you need runtime, then help you decide.

What brands do you use for home automation?

A: We build lighting control and automation on Lutron and Leviton equipment. These are established brands with real support and long-term parts availability. Using name-brand gear means your keypads, dimmers, and scenes stay serviceable years down the road.

What drives the cost of a whole house rewire?

A: The biggest factors are your home's square footage, how many circuits need replacing, how easy the walls are to access, and whether the panel needs upgrading. Homes with finished walls or tight cavities take more labor to route wire. We scope the work in person and explain what's driving the number.

What drives the cost of generator installation?

The main cost drivers are generator size, fuel type, transfer switch complexity, and the distance from the unit to your gas line and panel. Whole-house units cost more than essential-circuit setups. Longer gas and electrical runs add labor. We give you a written scope so you can see exactly what each piece of the install includes.

What drives the cost of smart home wiring?

A: The main cost drivers are home size, how many device locations you want, wall access, and how deep you take lighting control. A few smart switches cost far less than a full structured backbone with lighting scenes. We walk your home and give you a scope before any work starts.

What is structured wiring?

A: Structured wiring is low-voltage cabling that all runs back to one central panel. Every network drop, control line, and audio run terminates at a single labeled hub. This layout makes troubleshooting and adding devices much easier, since everything connects in one organized place rather than at scattered junctions.

What size generator do I need for my home?

The right size depends on your home's electrical load, not its square footage. We add up everything you want running during an outage, like your well pump, furnace, fridge, and central air.

That total sets the generator's output rating. Backing up essential circuits needs a smaller unit than running the whole house at once.

What Size Generator Should I Have Installed?

Our electrical experts determine the perfect size generator for your home or business based on many individual factors. These factors include the size of the space needing energy, which appliances or systems will run off the generator, local permitting regulations and code requirements, and so on.

What warranty comes with smart home wiring?

A: Every smart home wiring project carries a 2-year warranty on all work plus a lifetime warranty on our workmanship. The 2-year warranty covers the work broadly, and the lifetime workmanship warranty covers how it was installed. If something we wired fails, we come back and make it right.

What warranty comes with the installation?

Every generator installation carries a 2-year warranty on all work plus a lifetime warranty on our workmanship. The workmanship warranty covers the wiring, connections, and transfer switch setup we perform, for as long as you own the system.

The generator itself carries its own manufacturer warranty from Generac, Kohler, Caterpillar, or Cummins.

What warranty covers the rewiring work?

A: Every whole house rewiring project carries a 2-year warranty on all work plus a lifetime warranty on our workmanship. The 2-year term covers the job broadly, and the lifetime coverage supports the quality of the work. Both are current, active warranties on our residential work.

If you ever have doubts about your electrical system's safety or integrity, call us! Our quotes are quick and free, and will get to the bottom of your electrical problems with long-term solutions. It never hurts to be informed and prepared!

Why is wired smart home wiring better than wireless?

A: Wired systems stay faster and more stable than wireless alone. Structured cabling carries lighting, control, and network signals without the dropouts that happen when too many devices share Wi-Fi. Wireless still has a place for some devices, but a hardwired backbone keeps the whole system dependable, especially in larger homes.

Will rewiring tear up my walls?

A: We keep wall openings to a minimum by fishing new wire through existing wall and ceiling cavities. Some access points are unavoidable on a full rewire. We patch those spots as part of the job and coordinate the finish so your home isn't left with open drywall.
