The electrical wiring in your home is a complex system that can understandably confuse many homeowners. Selecting the right company for a crucial service like knob-and-tube wiring replacement demands a trustworthy partner. Knob-and-tube wiring was the inaugural electrical system, popular in homes from the 1900s to the 1970s. While it was cutting-edge then, it doesn’t cater to the electrical needs of today’s homes.
As the name implies, this type of wiring incorporates ceramic knobs to keep wires steady and ceramic tubes to protect these wires. It only includes a black (hot) wire and a white (neutral) wire. This is a sharp contrast to contemporary systems that come with three wires, adding a ground wire that manages excess current. The absence of this ground wire makes your home vulnerable to hazardous electrical fires and shocks.
