Mountain Lakes' century-old Hapgood homes are a Morris County treasure, and their original wiring is exactly our specialty.
Mountain Lakes is defined by its grand early-1900s Hapgood houses, and homes of that era often still carry knob-and-tube wiring and undersized services. We de-energize and bypass old knob-and-tube, upgrade the service to carry modern loads, and do it with respect for a home that has stood for a century, documented for your insurer.
We de-energize and bypass it rather than tear the house apart, run modern wiring, and document the work. Many insurers want exactly that before they cover an older home.
Usually yes, once the service is sized for it. We confirm with an on-site load calculation and upgrade the panel only if it truly needs it.
Industrial, commercial or residential, licensed and insured since 2000. Call or text for the fastest answer, or send us the details and we will follow up.
