Why Knob and Tube Rewiring Matters

Knob and tube wiring was commonly used in older homes, but it no longer meets modern safety standards. As homes add more appliances and electronics, this outdated wiring becomes a serious fire and shock hazard.

Why knob and tube wiring is unsafe:

• Not designed for modern electrical loads
• Lacks proper grounding
• Insulation can deteriorate over time
• Higher risk of overheating and fire

Why rewiring is important:

• Brings your electrical system up to current code
• Improves overall home safety
• Reduces insurance and inspection issues
• Supports modern appliances and devices
