Knob & Tube Wiring
Modern, Safe Electrical Solutions for Older Homes
Knob and tube (K&T) wiring was commonly used in homes built before the 1950s. While it once served its purpose, it is now considered outdated and often unsafe for today’s electrical demands. E-Care Electrical specializes in inspecting, upgrading, and replacing knob and tube wiring to bring older homes up to modern safety standards—without compromising their character or charm.
Why Knob & Tube Wiring Is a Concern
Even if hazard signs aren’t visible, K&T wiring often poses risks due to age and limited capacity. Common concerns include:
- Brittle or deteriorated insulation
- Overloaded circuits
- No grounding system
- Higher risk of overheating
- Difficulty supporting modern appliances
- Potential insurance restrictions
