Professional inspections identify issues such as loose connections, overloaded circuits, and outdated components. We recommend immediate inspection if you notice flickering lights, frequently tripping breakers, or burning smells.

Many Highland Falls homes built before 1950 still have original knob and tube wiring, especially in older sections near the village center. This antiquated wiring system lacks modern safety features, such as grounding and proper insulation. Insurance companies often require knob and tube replacement before providing coverage.

According to the National Association of Realtors, knob and tube wiring is found in approximately 8 million U.S. homes. Highland Falls' historic housing stock makes this wiring type more common here than in newer developments. We specialize in complete rewiring projects that bring older homes up to current electrical codes while preserving their historic character.
