Old Wiring That No Longer Meets Today’s Safety Standards
If your home still has knob-&-tube wiring, you may be walking on borrowed time. This old wiring style was cutting edge decades ago—but houses today draw far more power, and modern safety expectations are much higher. Sylvester Electric can help you figure out where you stand, why the wiring may be unsafe, and how to bring your system up to speed.
We’ll inspect your existing wiring (is it active? does insulation cover it? is it grounded?). If replacement is needed, we’ll walk you through the process: rewiring rooms, upgrading panels, and installing grounded modern wiring that meets current code. No judgment, no hard sell—just clear advice and safe, reliable solutions.
