Upgrade Your Home’s Electrical System the Safe Way

If your home’s electrical system is outdated, unreliable, or still running on original wiring, it might be time for a professional upgrade. At Catman Electrical Contracting in Dallas, PA, we specialize in whole-home rewiring and knob-and-tube replacement for homeowners throughout Dallas, Shavertown, Back Mountain, Harvey’s Lake, Clarks Summit, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, and surrounding communities.

Older homes across NEPA often have outdated electrical systems that weren’t designed to handle today’s appliances, lighting, and smart-home devices. Aging wiring, brittle insulation, and undersized breaker panels can all lead to flickering lights, tripped breakers, or even potential fire hazards. Our licensed electricians inspect every circuit, identify problem areas, and safely replace old wiring to meet modern electrical codes.

Whether you live in a historic home in Scranton, a mid-century house near Wilkes-Barre, or a mountain property in Dallas or Harvey’s Lake, our team delivers dependable power and peace of mind. We use quality materials, follow NEC safety standards, and ensure your upgraded system is built to last for decades.

When it’s time to modernize your home’s wiring, trust the experienced local electricians at Catman Electrical Contracting for expert workmanship, code compliance, and lasting results.

Why Whole-Home Rewiring Matters

Many NEPA homes were built decades ago, with wiring that simply can’t keep up with today’s electrical demands. Over time, old or damaged wiring can lead to flickering lights, tripped breakers, or even fire risks.

A professional home rewiring brings your system up to code and gives you:

    Better Safety and Fire Protection

    Many homes in Dallas, Shavertown, and Clarks Summit still rely on outdated or brittle wiring that wasn’t built for modern loads. Replacing these old systems helps prevent overheating, sparks, and electrical fires — keeping your home and family safe year-round.

    Improved Performance for Modern Appliances and Devices

    Older wiring systems can struggle to power today’s high-demand electronics, HVAC systems, and smart devices. Upgrading your wiring ensures steady voltage and prevents flickering lights or tripped breakers — especially in homes throughout Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, and Back Mountain.

    Increased Home Value and Energy Efficiency

    A modern electrical system makes your home more appealing to buyers and helps lower monthly energy costs. Properly sized circuits and efficient wiring reduce wasted energy — something that matters during long NEPA winters when heating systems work overtime.

    Consistent Power Throughout Your Home

    Uneven power flow is common in older homes across Harveys Lake and rural NEPA areas, where aging wiring and patchwork fixes can cause dips or surges. A full rewire balances your electrical load, giving every outlet and light consistent, dependable power.

    Ready for Future Upgrades and EV Charging

    Whether you’re planning a kitchen remodel, installing new HVAC equipment, or adding an EV charger, a modern wiring system keeps your home ready for the future. Rewiring now prevents costly electrical limitations later.

    Reduced Risk of Power Outages and System Overloads

    Harsh Pennsylvania storms can expose weak spots in older wiring and panels. By upgrading your home’s electrical system, you reduce the risk of outages, damaged appliances, and costly emergency repairs.

    Peace of Mind and Long-Term Reliability

    When your home is rewired by a licensed electrician from Catman Electrical Contracting, you can rest easy knowing your system is safe, efficient, and code-compliant. It’s a long-term investment in your home’s comfort and security.

    Our Rewiring Process

    We make the rewiring process as smooth and organized as possible, minimizing disruption while maximizing safety and performance.

    Our goal is to give you a system that’s not only reliable but ready for the future.

    Detailed Wiring Inspection & Planning

    Every home in Dallas, Back Mountain, and surrounding NEPA towns is unique—especially older houses with decades-old wiring. We begin with a full inspection of your existing circuits, outlets, and panels to identify safety risks, overloaded circuits, and outdated wiring types like knob-and-tube or aluminum. This allows us to design a customized rewiring plan that meets current electrical codes and your home’s real-world needs.

    Safe Removal of Old or Unsafe Wiring

    Before new wiring goes in, we carefully remove all unsafe or non-compliant lines while minimizing damage to walls and finishes. Our electricians follow NEC and Pennsylvania state electrical codes, ensuring the removal is done cleanly and safely—especially important in historic homes across Wilkes-Barre and Scranton where preserving structure matters.

    Modern Rewiring & Installation

    Once the old system is cleared, we install modern copper wiring and updated grounding designed for today’s power demands. This upgrade supports everything from HVAC systems to kitchen appliances and future smart-home setups. Homes in Clarks Summit, Shavertown, and Harvey’s Lake benefit from higher efficiency, stable voltage, and long-term reliability.

    Testing, Circuit Balancing & Final Upgrades

    After installation, we test every circuit, outlet, and junction for performance, safety, and balanced load distribution. This step ensures your home’s new wiring can handle heavy usage during NEPA’s cold winters and humid summers, when HVAC and electrical systems are pushed hardest.

    Patching, Cleanup & Final Walkthrough

    We take pride in leaving your home looking just as good as it did before—often better. Our team patches small access points, cleans up debris, and walks you through the finished system, explaining what’s new and how it improves your home’s safety and performance.

    Signs You May Need Rewiring

    • Flickering or dimming lights — especially when using appliances or HVAC equipment, common in older Dallas and Back Mountain homes.
    • Frequent breaker trips or blown fuses — a sign your system can’t handle today’s electrical load.
    • Two-prong or ungrounded outlets — often found in pre-1970s homes around Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, and Shavertown.
    • Warm or discolored outlets and switches — indicates overheating or loose, unsafe connections.
    • Knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring — outdated systems still found in older NEPA houses, particularly near Clarks Summit and Harvey’s Lake.
    • Burning smells or buzzing sounds — may mean arcing or overheating inside walls — a serious safety hazard.
    • Sparking or dead outlets — corrosion or failing connections can prevent safe power flow.
    • Old or corroded electrical panel — if your panel still uses fuses or shows rust, it’s time for an inspection and possible upgrade.
    • Not enough power for modern use — tripping breakers when running space heaters, window ACs, or kitchen appliances is a red flag.
    • Home additions or remodels without wiring updates — mismatched or overloaded circuits are common after years of piecemeal improvements.

    .

    Even if your home “seems fine,” outdated wiring could still be hiding behind your walls — and waiting too long can lead to costly damage or danger.
