Why Should Knob & Tube Wiring Be Replaced?
Knob and tube wiring, commonly found in homes built before the 1950s, was once a standard electrical solution, but it no longer meets modern safety or power demands. Over time, insulation can degrade, wires can become brittle, and connections may loosen, increasing the risk of electrical fires. This type of wiring also lacks a grounding system, making it incompatible with today’s appliances, electronics, and surge protection needs. Replacing knob and tube wiring ensures your home is safe, code-compliant, and capable of handling modern electrical loads, giving you peace of mind while protecting your property and family.

How Do I Know If I Have Knob & Tube Wiring?
Identifying knob and tube wiring in your home is important for safety and planning electrical upgrades.
This type of wiring is typically found in homes built before the 1950s and has some distinct characteristics, including:
- Round, cloth-covered wires - Knob and tube wiring consists of single, insulated wires wrapped in cloth rather than modern plastic sheathing.
- Ceramic knobs and tubes - The wires are threaded through small ceramic knobs along beams and studs, and pass through ceramic tubes when going through walls or joists.
- Separate hot and neutral wires - Unlike modern wiring, which is bundled together, knob and tube wires are usually spaced apart and run separately.
- No grounding wire - These systems lack a dedicated grounding wire, which is standard in modern electrical systems.
- Exposed wiring in attics or crawlspaces - You may notice wires running along joists or beams, often without protective covering.
If you suspect your home has knob and tube wiring, it’s best to have a licensed electrician inspect it and schedule whole-home rewiring.
