Knob and Tube Wiring Replacements

If you live in a home that was built between 1880 and the early 1950s, your house may contain knob and tube wiring. It doesn’t meet modern building codes, and most insurance companies won’t cover homes with live knob and tube wiring.

  • Ceramic “tubes” allow individual hot and neutral wires to pass through framing lumber, and ceramic “knobs” support the wires along the way.

  • Your licensed electrician will inspect the entire home to identify where knob and tube wiring is installed. He or she may leave the older components in place and simply add new circuits.

  • This method is the easiest, and the remaining wiring is rendered harmless because it won’t be reconnected to a power source. Some electricians prefer to pull out that old wiring. Neither method is superior; discuss these options with your electrician.

    Highly recommended! Installed my Tesla Charger and it was a difficult project with my breaker box in the basement but it was no issue at all.
