Knob-and-tube wiring was the standard method of electrical wiring in homes from the 1880s to the 1940s. Despite its age, this type of wiring can still be found in many older homes today. However, it’s important to note that while knob-and-tube wiring isn’t inherently dangerous, it doesn’t meet modern safety standards and often needs to be replaced or upgraded for a variety of reasons. This is where JDV Electric comes into play.

While knob-and-tube wiring may have been adequate at the time when electricity consumption was minimal, today’s households use significantly more power. Modern appliances require more energy than what knob-and-tube systems can safely provide. Overloading these outdated systems can lead to overheating and potentially fires.
