Knob and Tube Replacement | Safe, Modern Electrical Upgrades
If your home still relies on knob and tube wiring, it’s time to consider a safer, more efficient solution. Outdated electrical systems can pose serious risks, including fire hazards, poor energy efficiency, and insurance complications. At Mauro Electric, we specialize in knob and tube replacement, offering expert solutions to protect your home, enhance performance, and give you peace of mind.
Understanding the Risks of Knob and Tube Wiring
Knob and tube wiring was once the gold standard for residential electrical systems. Installed in homes from the 1880s through the 1940s, this system uses ceramic knobs and hollow tubes to route electrical wires through open spaces. While innovative for its time, today’s demands far exceed its capabilities.
Old knob and tube systems lack grounding and cannot safely support modern appliances. They also tend to degrade over time, leading to frayed wires, exposed conductors, and increased fire risks. Most insurance providers won’t cover homes with knob and tube wiring unless it’s been inspected or fully replaced. That’s why Mauro Electric strongly recommends replacing outdated tube wiring to ensure your home meets current safety codes.
Replacing Knob and Tube Wiring: A Smart Home Investment
Knob and tube replacement isn’t just about safety—it’s also an investment in your home’s efficiency and functionality. Upgraded wiring systems can accommodate today’s electrical loads, improve energy efficiency, and pave the way for smart home upgrades. If your outlets are limited, circuits are overloading, or lights are flickering, these are all signs it’s time to take action.
At Mauro Electric, our expert team works closely with homeowners to develop tailored replacement plans that minimize disruption and maximize safety. We understand that tearing into walls can be daunting, so we take great care to preserve your home’s integrity during every step of the project.
