A Homeowner's Guide to Knob and Tube Wiring Replacement

📖 The Scoop

Was your home built before 1932? Are you planning to update your electrical wiring system? This guide book will take you through the entire process including:

* What is knob and tube wiring? And what does it look like?

* Why should my knob and tube wiring be replaced?

* What are the steps to replacing it? How invasive of a process is it?

* What kind of electrical materials are used?

* How do electricians estimate it?

* How do i pick an electrician to do the job?

* What to expect with contracts and billing.

This guide is the first in a series which address older wiring in homes. As a Master Electrician and owner of Kuhlman Electric in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, Jesse Kuhlman sees far too many customers who have no idea about how having their electrical system updated should work, and can be completely mislead by electricians who don't have their best interests in mind. After hearing from far too many homeowners that "The last electrician said i will have to gut some walls to run the new wiring" Kuhlman knew something needed to be done! The result is this series

Kuhlman's goal with these guides, as with all aspects of his business, is EDUCATION of the customer first and foremost. If you are educated to the process (from estimate to install to final billing) think about what a great advantage that will give you while getting estimates / meeting with electrical contractors. And honestly, it should help the electrical contractor meeting you as well! After reading this guide, you will be able to distinguish the difference between the legit electricians who do this work all the time and the ones who don't.
