Bethel, MN Electricians has the necessary expertise and equipment to address all your electrical needs, no matter how simple or complex. In this piece, we will focus on a service that every owner of an old home needs to know about - knob and tube wiring replacement.
Understanding Knob and Tube Wiring
Before delving into why and how to replace it, it's crucial to understand what knob and tube wiring is. This form of wiring was prevalent in homes built from the 1880s to the 1930s. As an electrical contractor, we encounter these systems in older homes, particularly those that have not undergone substantial electrical upgrades.
While it was the best option available during its time, knob and tube wiring now presents several safety and efficiency issues. It lacks a grounding conductor, which modern systems require for certain appliances and fixtures. It’s also not rated for the high electrical loads that today's homes typically demand.
Why Replace Your Knob and Tube Wiring?
Upgrading your old electrical wiring is about more than just staying in line with current safety standards; it's about protecting your home and your loved ones. Knob and tube wiring, given its age, can pose a fire hazard due to deteriorating insulation, outdated capacity, and a lack of a grounding system. Furthermore, many insurance companies won't cover homes with this antiquated system, as it's considered too risky.
Replacing knob and tube wiring with a modern electrical system ensures the safe and efficient operation of all your devices and appliances. It also increases the value of your home, as future owners won't have to worry about undertaking this significant upgrade.
