Renovation & Knob-and-Tube Wiring

Renovation can be an opportunity to address old electrical circuits while finishes are already being changed. The key is identifying old wiring early enough to incorporate it into the project rather than discovering it after walls are closed.

Evaluate before demolition gets too far

Knowing which circuits are active helps protect workers and prevents electrical scope from becoming an unexpected late-stage change.

Use open access strategically

When walls or ceilings are already open, replacement routes may be simpler than they would be in a fully finished occupied room.

Coordinate inspection points

Electrical rough inspections generally need to occur before work is covered, so renovation sequencing should account for the required inspection process.
