We provide this work in Avon for residential and commercial properties.

Choosing the right work for old circuits

Replacement scope

A circuit-focused job addresses the old wiring we identify. As an insured team, we can also discuss a wider rewire if the rest of the system needs work.

A different electrical fault

A dead outlet doesn't prove knob and tube wiring is present. We also repair outlets and switches when replacement of old wiring isn't the right job.

Panel needs

A panel upgrade is a separate service from replacing old branch circuits. We can discuss both if the property needs work at the panel as well.

How we identify old wiring

Ceramic tubes: Ceramic tubes protect old wires where they pass through framing. We look for them among the signs of knob and tube wiring.
Cloth insulation: Cloth insulation can cover old conductors. We assess its condition where the wiring is accessible.
Open splices: Open splices are wire connections outside an enclosure. We check accessible connections as part of assessing the old circuit.

Questions about replacing old wiring

For Knob And Tube Wiring Replacement, how can I tell if my home has knob and tube wiring?

Ceramic knobs can be a sign of knob and tube wiring, and GMB Electric can assess the wiring to identify it. You might notice them where wiring is exposed, such as an accessible attic or basement. Other wiring can be present in the same property, so a visible clue doesn't establish the scope of the old circuits. Don't touch exposed wiring while you look.

What should I tell you before an electrical assessment?

Details about the affected rooms and visible wiring help us plan an electrical assessment.

Tell us where you found the wiring.
Describe any flickering lights or dead outlets.
Share an inspection report if you have one.

Access matters too. Let us know about locked rooms or areas where stored items could block the wiring.

Which wiring routes change the replacement quote?

Wiring routes through hard-to-reach spaces can change the replacement quote. The scope also depends on which circuits need new wiring and how we can reach them. If the panel needs separate work, we can discuss that as part of the job. Give us the property details and we'll prepare a quote for the proposed work.

When is a whole-home rewire worth discussing?

A whole-home rewire is worth discussing when wiring beyond the identified old circuits also needs replacement. We can assess the electrical system and explain the proposed scope. Your plans for the property matter too, especially if you want to address several rooms together. We'll discuss the available work before you decide what to include.

Why might a breaker trip on an old circuit?

A breaker can trip because of an overloaded circuit or an electrical fault. The trip alone doesn't show whether knob and tube wiring caused the problem. We'll examine the affected circuit to find the issue and discuss the repair. Don't keep resetting a breaker that trips again, and don't attempt to replace it yourself.
