Knob And Tube Wiring Replacement

Why Replacing Your Home’s Knob & Tube Wiring Is Crucial

It might be tempting to delay replacing your knob and tube wiring, but doing so puts your home and safety at serious risk. Here’s why it’s essential to upgrade:

• Inadequate for Modern Needs: Knob and tube wiring wasn’t designed to handle today’s electrical demands. It can’t safely power your appliances, entertainment systems, or computers, leaving you vulnerable to electrical issues.

• Overheating Hazards: This outdated wiring system can get dangerously hot. It was designed to release heat into the air, but if it comes into contact with insulation or building materials, it could easily spark a fire.

• Unreliable Modifications: Over the years, many knob and tube systems have been modified without professional oversight. At Suncoast Energy, we’ve encountered all kinds of dangerous DIY fixes hiding behind the walls of homes across Los Angeles and Orange County.

• High Insurance Premiums: Insurers know the risks associated with knob and tube wiring, and you could end up paying a steep premium for coverage or struggle to get coverage at all.

• Inherently Dangerous: Knob and tube wiring is fundamentally unsafe and cannot be properly updated or repaired. For the safety of your family, friends, and neighbors, we strongly recommend a complete replacement.
