still have knob and tube wiring? it's time to replace it asap!

If you live in an older home (one that was built in or prior to the 1940s), you may have heard about knob and tube wiring. While it might have been a revolutionary electrical system back in the day, it's just not up to modern safety standards. So, if your home still has knob and tube wiring, it's important to replace it ASAP. But here's the thing - this is definitely not a DIY project. You need to hire a licensed electrician in Windsor, Ontario to do the job right.

Why, you ask? Well, for starters, knob and tube wiring can be dangerous. It lacks the safety features that modern wiring systems have, and the insulation can deteriorate over time, increasing the risk of electrical shocks and fires. Plus, knob and tube wiring may not be able to handle the electrical demands of today's homes. If you try to DIY this, you could be putting yourself and your family at risk.

Plus, aside from safety concerns, there's the issue of insufficient capacity to handle modern electrical demands.  AND there's the issue of insurance and compliance where if your property is still outfitted with outdated wiring, you won't be eligible for home insurance or your home premium prices will be through the roof, so to speak.

So, bottom line - if you have knob and tube wiring in your home, call a licensed electrician to replace it. It's a small price to pay for peace of mind and a safer home.
