What Is Knob & Tube Wiring?
Knob and tube wiring is a method of wiring used in buildings between 1880 and the 1930s. While this type of wiring was state of the art during its time, it is no longer used and may be considered dangerous in some situations. The main problem with this type of wiring is that it is not grounded. There are two prongs to the outlets, rather than three. It is important not to use three pronged, grounded electrical outlets, as no ground path is present in these systems.
Upgrading Your Wiring
Knob and tube wiring can be dangerous and most electrical contractors recommend replacing this
outdated wiring. In addition to improving safety, replacing this old style of electrical wiring may be necessary for insurance reasons. Some insurance companies won’t insure a building with knob and tube wiring, while others will charge much higher premiums.
