The real check on the work is the permit and inspection under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code.

- 2. Ask for insuranceGet a certificate of liability insurance in writing.

Older homes
Old houses and rewiring in Saxonburg
Saxonburg was founded in 1832 by John A. Roebling and his brother as a German farming colony. Roebling first made wire rope in a workshop here, years before he designed the Brooklyn Bridge.
The borough has homes from the 1800s next to newer houses on its edges. Older homes can still have knob and tube wiring, cloth-covered cable, two-prong outlets and small fuse panels.
Kitchens are where old wiring fails first. Modern kitchens need several 20-amp circuits, GFCI protection and dedicated lines for large appliances.
Signs a house needs rewiring
- Fuses that blow often, or a fuse box still in use
- Two-prong outlets and no grounding
- Cloth-covered or brittle cable in the basement
- Lights that dim when the microwave runs
- An insurer asking about knob and tube
Power supply
West Penn Power and outages
West Penn Power, a FirstEnergy company, owns the lines and meters that serve Saxonburg. You can buy your electricity from a separate supplier, but West Penn Power still delivers it and fixes outages.
The meter base, panel and wiring inside the house belong to the owner. A licensed electrician repairs them, and West Penn Power reconnects after service work passes inspection.
Winter storms
- Ice and wet snow bring down limbs and service drops.
- Generators connect through a transfer switch or interlock only.
