OUR EXPERTISE
Types of Wiring We Replace
Knob-and-Tube Wirings
Common in homes built before the 1950s, knob-and-tube wiring lacks grounding and often cannot safely handle today's electrical loads.
Aluminum Branch Wiring
Popular during the 1960s and 1970s, aluminum wiring is more prone to overheating and loose connections, increasing fire risks if left uncorrected.
Cloth-Insulated Wiring
Older cloth-covered wiring deteriorates over time, exposing conductors and reducing electrical safety.
Undersized Wiring
Many older homes were wired for far fewer electrical devices than modern families use.
