What we do

Why it matters

Thousands of homes in Norristown, Abington, Ambler, Pottstown and Lower Merion were built before 1950 and still have some original knob-and-tube or cloth wiring. That wiring has no ground, its insulation gets brittle with age, and many insurers will not write or renew a policy until it is replaced. Rewiring also lets you add the outlets and dedicated circuits modern kitchens and home offices need.

Rewiring & Knob-and-Tube Replacement FAQs

Is knob-and-tube wiring dangerous?

Knob-and-tube isn't automatically unsafe, but after 80 to 100 years the insulation is often brittle, it has no ground wire, and it was never meant to be buried in insulation or carry modern loads. Many insurers require replacement.

How long does rewiring a house take?

Partial rewires are often done in a few days. A full rewire of a typical Montgomery County home usually takes one to two weeks, and you can generally stay in the house.

Will rewiring damage my plaster walls?

Experienced electricians fish new cable through existing cavities and make small, neat access holes that are patched afterward. Big wall openings are rarely needed.

Do I need a permit to rewire?

Yes. Rewiring requires an electrical permit and inspection from your township or borough. The electrician handles it.
