Wiring replacement addresses the circuit, while an outlet repair focuses on the outlet itself. If the concern is limited to a faulty outlet, we'll assess whether repair fits the job.

Questions about replacing old wiring

When scheduling Knob And Tube Wiring Replacement, how is knob and tube wiring replaced?

GMB Electric replaces knob and tube wiring through circuit assessment, isolation, cable removal and installation of new wiring.
  1. We identify the affected circuits and agree on the scope.
  2. We isolate the circuits and replace the wiring included in the job.
  3. We test the affected circuits after installation.

The path of the existing wiring helps determine where we need access.

What should I share before an assessment?

An inspection report and details about affected rooms help us understand your concern.
  • Share any report that mentions the old wiring.
  • Point out outlets or lights with problems.
  • Tell us about areas that are hard to access.

You don't need to trace the circuits yourself. We'll assess the wiring and discuss the proposed scope with you.

Which parts of the wiring job change the quote for Knob And Tube Wiring Replacement?

The number of affected circuits and access to their wiring change the quote. A circuit that runs through hard-to-reach areas can require a different work plan from an accessible circuit. We assess the property and explain the proposed scope, so you can request a quote for the work you need.

When might a panel upgrade be part of rewiring?

A panel upgrade may be part of rewiring if the existing panel needs changes to support the planned circuits. We assess the panel alongside your electrical needs and discuss any proposed upgrade separately. Replacing older wiring doesn't automatically mean every property needs a new panel.

Why does a partial power outage need diagnosis?

A partial outage needs diagnosis because the affected circuit or its connections may be the source. We check the electrical concern and discuss the repair that fits what we find. Older wiring may be involved, but an outage alone doesn't establish that the entire property needs rewiring.
