Toronto’s Premier
Provider of Knob &
Tube Replacement
Knob and tube replacement and upgrading to modern, more conventional wiring, 100% copper wiring is often necessary and almost always a good idea. Why? Back in the day, knob and tube wiring was the standard practice for electricians installing residential wiring and circuitry. What has happened over time, however, is that the knob and tube wiring in vintage homes in Toronto suffers from wear and tear. The covering has dried out, cracked and/r crumbled – even chewed on by rodents. That means it’s nearing the end if its useful life.
Modern appliances & fixtures require that a bonding wire be connected to the outlets. Knob and tube wiring systems are missing this. If you have such a system, it’s time for a knob and tube wiring replacement upgrade to 100% copper wire.
