Knob And Tube Upgrades

Knob and tube wiring is an older electrical system commonly found in properties built before the 1950s. It consists of ceramic knobs and tubes to support electrical wires. Upgrading knob and tube wiring is necessary because it lacks modern safety features, insulation, and grounding, making it a potential fire and safety hazard.

You can identify knob and tube wiring by its distinctive appearance, with visible ceramic knobs and tubes securing the electrical wires. If your property was constructed before the mid-20th century and has not undergone significant electrical upgrades, it may have knob and tube wiring.

Knob and tube wiring poses several risks, including inadequate insulation, lack of grounding, and limited capacity to handle modern electrical demands. These factors can lead to electrical fires, overheating, and electrical shocks.

Upgrading your knob and tube wiring to modern electrical systems provides numerous benefits, including enhanced safety, compliance with current electrical codes, increased electrical capacity to meet modern demands, and reduced fire hazards.
