Knob & Tube Replacement in Tallahassee
Outdated Wiring Replacement Across the Greater Tallahassee Area & Southern Georgia
Knob and tube wiring was the standard in American homes from the late 1800s through the 1940s. It did its job for a long time, but it was designed for a world where a household's entire electrical load might be a few light fixtures and a radio. It wasn't designed for air conditioning, modern appliances, or the kind of continuous high-draw usage that's completely ordinary today.

What Makes Knob & Tube Wiring a Concern
Knob and tube wiring lacks a ground wire, which is a fundamental safety feature in modern electrical systems. Without it, certain faults that would otherwise be redirected away from people and equipment become considerably more dangerous. The original rubber and cloth insulation compounds the problem, degrading over time from heat, moisture, and physical contact. In Florida attics, that breakdown happens faster than almost anywhere else in a home.
Capacity is the other issue. These circuits were sized for the modest loads of their era and were never designed to carry modern appliances, HVAC systems, and electronics running simultaneously.

The Knob & Tube Wiring Replacement Process
Replacing knob and tube wiring means running new, grounded wiring throughout the affected areas of the home. In most cases, this involves working within existing walls, accessing the attic and crawl space, and sometimes opening drywall in targeted locations. The scope depends heavily on how much of the home still has its original wiring and what has been replaced over the years.
Weston Trawick approaches rewiring projects with as much care for the property as for the electrical work itself. We're straightforward about what the project involves, what it will take, and what you get on the other side: a safe, grounded, code-compliant electrical system built for how you actually live.
