There are many positive elements to be found in older homes, but
unfortunately, knob and tube wiring isn’t one of them. If your Toronto home is
currently wired with outdated electrical, it’s time to consider an update so that
your home is as safe and functional as possible.

There are a lot of myths and facts about knob and tube wiring that can easily
be found with an internet search. However, the simplest way to understand this
older system is that it wasn’t created to safely power today’s homes. In fact,
this outdated wiring system often can’t supply enough power to modern day
appliances. Investing in a rewire is a smart decision, and one that will revitalize
your entire living space.

Up until about 70 years ago, knob and tube was the preferred method of wiring
homes as it was low in cost and seemed to provide enough functionality for
homeowners. However, we now know that over time the knobs and tubes used
breakdown, leading to exposed wires. Over time, this outdated wiring system
becomes a significant fire hazard that just isn’t safe for use today.
Again, the myths and facts about knob and tube wiring may lead you to believe
that you can keep this older wiring system, but the reality is you’re putting your
home at risk. In addition, it will likely be difficult to find home insurance with
outdated wiring still in place. Replacing old wiring will give your Toronto home a
new lease on life.
More specifically, here are some top benefits that make the effort and
investment worth it:

inconsistent with moisture, and has likely been improperly modified over time.
All of these issues make old wiring extremely dangerous.

· An increase in the value of your property.
· A chance to improve your home. A rewire project will allow you to install more
outlets, add more lighting and ensure your home has all the power it needs to
function efficiently.
