Knob and tube wiring removal and replacement in Calgary by Grand Star Electric

Safe, Complete Knob & Tube Replacement

Homes in Inglewood, Ramsay, Bridgeland, Mount Pleasant, and Hillhurst were built long before modern electrical demands. Knob and tube wiring can't handle today's loads, and after decades of wear the insulation breaks down, creating a real fire risk. We remove it all and rewire your home with modern, code-compliant wiring.

Most insurance companies in Calgary won't cover homes with active knob and tube, or they'll charge massive premiums. Once we complete the removal and rewire, you'll get a clean inspection and your insurance goes back to normal.

Common Questions

Knob and tube wiring was safe when it was installed, but after 80-100 years the insulation deteriorates, connections loosen, and the system can't handle modern electrical loads. Combined with blown-in insulation that traps heat around the wires, it becomes a serious fire risk.

Most insurance companies in Calgary will either refuse to cover homes with active knob and tube wiring or charge significantly higher premiums. Once the wiring is fully removed and replaced, your insurance rates typically drop and coverage is restored to normal.

We can do partial replacements, but most insurance companies require full removal of all knob and tube wiring before they'll update your policy. We recommend a complete rewire to fully resolve the issue and bring your home up to modern code standards.

Knob and tube wiring is most common in Calgary's older inner-city neighborhoods, including Inglewood, Ramsay, Bridgeland, Mount Pleasant, Hillhurst, Sunnyside, Bankview, and Mission. Any home built before the 1950s may have knob and tube wiring.
