Knob & Tube Replacement in Westford

Electricians Serving Massachusetts, Southern NH & Southern ME

Knob and tube electrical systems date back to the late 1800s.  Because they are older wiring systems, knob and tube circuits are physically unable to conduct the power necessary to run an average home’s fixtures and appliances. Is your your home electrical system safe and up to date? Ryan Gath Electric provides knob and tube replacement wiring for local Massachusetts homeowners.

What is the Risk?

Knob and tube systems were implemented a time long before KitchenAid mixers, central air conditioning units, jacuzzies, or even washers and dryers were installed. Older households with knob and tube electrical systems run the risk of not only frequent power outages, but of serious electrical damage.

Why Must Knob and Tube Systems Be Replaced?

Simply stated, knob and tube electrical systems are a liability. Here’s why:

Often denied homeowners insurance coverage

No safety grounding conductor

Low circuit capacity

Risk of overfusing

Cloth and rubber insulation becomes brittle with age

Easily damaged by rodents and renovations

Illegal in most U.S. counties due to safety hazards

Modern electrical panels are better suited than fuse boxes to safely deliver power to homes and businesses. However, a professional may still need to service and update them in certain situations.


Consult Ryan Gath Electric if you notice the following:

Sparks when you plug things into your outlets
