Knob and Tube Wiring Replacement in Seattle

Many of Seattle's most charming homes, from Ballard Craftsmans to Capitol Hill foursquares, still have knob and tube wiring hidden in their walls and attics. It was the standard a century ago, but it was never designed for today's electrical needs. Greenwood Heating and Home Services' licensed electricians replace knob and tube wiring safely and carefully, with as little disruption to your home as possible.
What Is Knob and Tube Wiring?
Knob and tube was the most common way to wire homes from the late 1800s into the 1930s and 1940s. Individual wires run through ceramic tubes where they pass through framing and are held away from wood by ceramic knobs. The wires are wrapped in rubber and cloth insulation rather than modern plastic sheathing.
If your home was built before the 1950s and hasn't been fully rewired, there's a good chance some knob and tube wiring is still in use. Common places to spot it are unfinished basements and attics, where you may see the white ceramic knobs and single wires running along the joists. Learn more about knob and tube wiring.
