KNOB & TUBE REPLACEMENT
Retire the century-old wiring hiding in your walls. Complete rewiring that restores safety, insurability, and resale value.
Knob and tube wiring served homes well in its era — but that era ended decades ago. Ungrounded, brittle with age, and never designed for modern appliance loads, it's now a fire risk that most insurers refuse to cover. If your character home still carries it, replacement is the single best safety investment you can make.
Able Electrical performs complete rewiring of heritage and vintage homes: new grounded circuits throughout, a modern panel, and proper device counts in every room. We plan cable routes to minimize wall openings and preserve the character details that make older homes worth owning.
Insurance is usually the trigger, so we work to the standard insurers require. We provide the documentation and coordinate the inspections needed to satisfy your insurance company, with all work permitted through Technical Safety BC and inspected to the current BC Electrical Code.
Where access holes are unavoidable, we coordinate drywall repair so the project ends with finished walls — not a house full of patches waiting for another trade. One contractor, one timeline, one fully rewired home.
