They were quick to get out to a leak issue, inspect the problem and figure out exactly what needed to be done. Price was very reasonable and affordable. Joe and his team showed up on time, work was efficient and clean up was perfect! They were done in about 5 hours inspection and everything! I’m so glad this is done and our problem is solved. Will definitely use this company for future projects and refer to all family and friends. Thank you so much!

Knob and Tube Wiring Replacement We Specialize In

Knob and tube wiring was designed for a different time. It uses single insulated wires run through ceramic knobs and tubes, without a ground wire and with limited capacity for today’s electrical demand. Modern wiring is built for safety, efficiency, and consistency. It includes grounded systems, protective insulation, and the ability to handle appliances, electronics, and higher loads without the same level of risk. The difference is not just age. It is how safely and reliably your home can run day to day.

Grounded System for Improved Safety

Modern wiring includes grounding, which helps reduce the risk of shock and gives excess electricity a safer path to travel.

Better Protection Against Fire Risk

Today’s wiring materials and installation methods are designed to better manage heat and lower the chances of electrical fire.

Handles Modern Electrical Loads

Modern systems are built to support the way we actually live now, with larger appliances, more outlets, and constant device use.

Supports Appliances and Smart Devices

From kitchen equipment to TVs to smart home features, modern wiring is made to power the technology older systems were never designed to handle.

More Consistent Power Through the Home

Updated wiring helps your electrical system run more smoothly, which can mean fewer issues with flickering lights, overloaded circuits, or uneven performance.

Easier to Maintain, Repair, and Upgrade

Modern wiring is more straightforward for electricians to work with, which makes future repairs, additions, and updates much simpler.

Knob and Tube Wiring Services FAQs

Why is knob and tube wiring dangerous?

Knob and tube wiring was not built with the safety features we expect today, like grounding and modern insulation. Over time, the wiring can wear down, get damaged, or be overloaded by today’s electrical use. That combination can increase the risk of overheating and fire if it is still in active use.

Is it worth replacing knob and tube?

In most cases, yes. Replacing knob and tube wiring improves safety, supports modern electrical demand, and helps avoid issues with inspections or insurance. It is one of those upgrades that makes the whole home function better, even if you do not see it every day.

Can you replace knob and tube yourself?

This is not a project to take on without professional experience. Electrical work requires proper planning, code compliance, and safe installation practices, which is why it should be handled by a licensed electrician. A qualified team will make sure the replacement is done correctly, safely, and without creating new problems.
