Why Should You Replace Your Knob and Tube Wiring?

Replacing knob and tube wiring is essential for safety and efficiency. This outdated system can pose safety hazards and may not meet modern electrical standards. Upgrading ensures better insulation, reduces risk and improves overall home value.

  • Knob-and-tube systems don’t have grounding, meaning there’s no safety protection if something goes wrong.
  • The rubber insulation in knob-and-tube wiring can become brittle and wear out with age.
  • If any part of the system fails, it could create serious problems or safety risks.
  • Older systems often don’t have enough circuits to meet today’s electrical needs.
  • Knob-and-tube systems typically use 60 amp service panels, which usually aren’t enough power for modern homes.

The Benefits of Knob and Tube Wiring Replacement

Improved Safety

Knob and tube wiring lacks modern safety features, making it more susceptible to electrical hazards. Upgrading to newer wiring systems significantly reduces these risks.

Insurance companies often charge higher premiums for homes with knob and tube wiring because of the risks involved. Modern electrical systems can qualify for lower rates.

Today's lifestyles require more power for various devices and appliances. Upgrading allows your home to handle increased electrical needs more effectively.

Compliance with Local Codes

Old wiring might not meet current building codes and safety standards. Upgrading helps make sure your home complies with these standards, preventing potential issues.

Uninterrupted Electricity

Outdated wiring can be unreliable, causing frequent power interruptions. Modern systems ensure a more consistent and dependable electrical supply & minimize disruptions.
