It’s interesting to note that the original purpose of knob and tube wiring was limited to lighting because appliances and other electronics were not yet available.

While this wiring system was a wonderful invention and great for the intended purpose of lighting, there are numerous reasons to have it inspected if your home in Enumclaw is dependent on this type of electrical system:

  • Two-stranded wiring lacks a grounding conductor
  • The wiring lacks sufficient capacity to meet the demands of a modern home
  • Most insurance companies refuse to insure a home with K&T wiring

We specialize in removing and replacing knob and tube wiring and have years of experience in working on vintage homes including those in Enumclaw that require special care for historical preservation.
