It's fairly unusual to find a house that still uses knob and tube wiring, but if you have an older home that hasn't been updated in a long time, it is possible. The key words there are "long time"—knob and tube wiring was phased out in the 1940s when better, safer alternatives came on the market. That means any building still using knob and tube wiring hasn't had an electrical upgrade in at least 75 years, and that's a major problem.

The biggest issue is that it's a potential fire hazard. The wiring in a knob and tube system is insulated with a rubberized fabric that begins to break down after about 25 years. By this point, the insulation is likely pretty much gone, and uninsulated wires can easily start an electrical fire. That's obviously well worth avoiding, but it's also likely that you're experiencing other issues like simply not getting enough power to keep all your modern appliances and devices running. Upgrading your electrical system to a modern circuit breaker box will make your home and household a lot safer, but a new breaker panel upgrade will also improve comfort and convenience.
