Electrical Installation
Storm Electrical has all the knowledge and expertise to tackle all your electrical issues, including knob and tube wiring replacement.
If you have an older house, you have probably already considered knob-and-tube wiring replacement. Also called "K&T wiring," knob-and-tube wiring was among the earliest forms of electrical installation systems used in buildings. This method of installing electrical wiring dates back to the 1880s and 1940s, though some homes still use it up to date.
Today, the knob-and-tube wiring system is considered outdated and potentially hazardous, this is why many old buildings consider knob-and-tube wiring removal. Virtually every knob-and-tube wiring in use today is not up to current electrical safety standards. Other than being dangerous, this wiring system is not efficient enough to serve a modern home.
There are a few things you should know if you are considering knob-and-tube wiring replacement at your home.
Knob-and-tube is a form of wiring that was used in the old days though it was replaced by modern electrical wiring that is safer, more efficient, and practical. Homes that still use this wiring system should be aware that they are using very old wiring that makes their electrical system very dangerous and should consider knob and tube removal. Chances of experiencing a house fire are aloft in a home that has the old K&T wiring system, especially if it's inserting a lot of pressure on the system. Fixing this will definitely outweigh the cost to replace knob-and-tube wiring on your property.
Certain inherent properties of K&T wiring like lack of ground wire means it cannot power three-pronged appliances.
Here are more problems that will prove how important removing knob-and-tube wiring can be for your home:

I had the pleasure of working with Storm Electrical after the purchase of my new home. The house needed some electrical updates identified during the home inspection. They were able to provide a quote, schedule the work, and complete the job within a week. The guys also came on Saturday and Sunday, which was very helpful for me since I work from home and need internet. Will definitely call Storm again next time I need an electrician.
I had an excellent experience with Storm Electrical! From start to finish, their professionalism and expertise were outstanding. I highly recommend them for any electrical work. I'll definitely be using them again in the future.
I want to thank them for the excellent work done at my property. Great service from competent, qualified electricians. I recommend this company to anyone. Thank you for your attention.
