Is Knob & Tube Wiring Safe for Seattle Homes?
Knob and tube wiring was the first generation of electrical wiring installed in Seattle area homes built between the early 1900s to the 1940s. The “newest” knob and tube systems are at least 80 years old, and many are well over 100 years old.
Knob and tube wiring is far from ideal. For starters, the 60-amp service it delivers can’t reliably deliver the electricity demanded by modern electronics, appliances, and lights. It’s also unsafe because the rubber insulation is often brittle and there’s no ground wire, which means there’s a considerable risk of electric shock and fire.
What to Do If Your Home Has Knob & Tube Wiring
If your home has knob and tube wiring, we strongly recommend you replace it even if you aren’t experiencing electrical issues. Because of the lack of a ground wire and the potential for serious damage to your health, home, and personal property, it’s simply not worth the risk.
Our highly skilled electricians can inspect your wiring, assess your electrical needs, and will recommend a replacement solution that will improve the safety, reliability, functionality, and adaptability of your home’s electrical network.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I identify knob and tube wiring in my home?
The easiest way is to head into the basement and look at your joists. If you see white ceramic knobs and wires between the joists, you have knob and tube wiring.
Will my homeowners insurance cover homes with knob and tube wiring?
It depends. Many insurance companies are well aware of knob and tube wiring dangers and require homes with knob and tube wiring, aluminum wiring, or other out-of-date wiring issues to update it in order to maintain coverage.
Can I make repairs or modifications to knob and tube wiring myself?
Absolutely not! When your electrical system requires repairs or modifications, you should always hire a licensed and insured professional with the training and expertise required to safely work with electricity.
