Knob and tube wiring was common in homes built before the 1950s — but it was never designed for today’s appliances and technology. Over time, insulation can wear down, and splices may loosen, creating a fire hazard. Our team specializes in safe, minimally invasive rewiring techniques that preserve your home’s structure while bringing your electrical system up to modern standards.
