Knob and Tube is a wiring method that was used in homes in the early 1900s to 1940s and is no longer used. These older electrical systems do not have the same safety benefits as modern ones. For example, ground fault circuit interrupters make wet locations like bathrooms and outdoor locations safer. It may surprise you that many insurers will not provide or renew coverage on homes with this type of wiring. They consider it to be a higher risk. Some insurers may make you replace the knob and tube

What do we do with knob & tube wiring? We rip it out! Every pre-war building has secrets...and sometimes, they’re electrical. Knob-and-tube wiring powered the 1920s—today, it’s a liability hiding behind plaster and floorboards. It’s dangerous in any condition. When it gets disturbed, it’s a ticking clock and race against time. It’s not IF you’ll have a fire, it’s WHEN. #integrobuilders #buildsmarter #historic #electrical #buildbetter | Integro Builders

Check out this early 1900s Knob and Tube panel! Unbelievable!! I can’t imagine being an electrician in this era. The time it would take to execute these installations with no where near as many tools as we have today! Knob and Tube is still recognized by the NEC in article 394. Although, if Knob and Tube is present good luck getting homeowners insurance! Given this, it is mandatory to remove! I want to rip this out and take it with me! So much appreciated for the history!⚡️🤘 #electrical #fyp #o
