Older-home rewiring and knob-and-tube removal, done safely and to code, the fix most insurers now require. NJ License #14695.
Knob-and-tube wiring was standard before about 1950, but it was never designed for today's loads, and many insurers now require it removed before they will cover a home. Elite Electric rewires older North Jersey homes and removes knob-and-tube safely, often the difference between getting insured and not.
We assess how much knob-and-tube is present and plan a rewire that limits disruption to the home.
We install modern, grounded wiring and remove the old knob-and-tube, to code, with the permit filed.
We get the work inspected so you have the documentation your insurer wants.
Common questions
Older knob-and-tube can be a fire risk when overloaded or altered by past owners, so many insurers require it removed or certified before they will write or renew a policy.
We plan the rewire to limit wall openings wherever possible, using existing routes and access points. We will walk you through what a given home needs before we start.
