Questions to Ask About Knob and Tube Wiring

Answers to the questions we hear most — no sparks, just straight talk

K&T wiring is a type of electrical wiring that was installed in Toronto homes between 1880 and 1940. It consists of ceramic knobs that were used to hold wires in place and tubes that protected these wires. Many older homes may still have this type of wiring. It is deemed unsafe because it is noncompliant with current safety standards since it is an ungrounded electrical system that can pose a significant fire hazard. K&T wiring must be modified to replace the outdated wiring with modern copper wiring.

Based on today’s safety standards, knob and tube wiring is not considered safe because there is no ground wiring, which creates a higher risk for electrical shocks and fires. Also, the materials have deteriorated over time and can be dangerous. K&T wiring is only considered safe when it is replaced with modern copper wiring.

In general, knob and tube wiring replacement costs between $10,000- $25000+ based on the complexity of the project, the scope of the project, and the sides of your home.

Keeping K&T wiring in Ontario may result in a higher safety risk for your family and home. Since it is not designed for modern appliances, you run the risk of the system being overloaded and potential electric shock or fires. Most home insurance companies in Ontario will not insure homes with K&T wiring, and if they do, coverage will be limited and you’ll often have to pay higher premiums.

Replacing K&T wiring in Toronto is important for a safer home, eligibility for insurance, compliance with OESC regulations, and increased property value. Replacing this outdated wiring reduces the risk of fires and electrical shocks. You’ll also be able to insure your home after the upgrade. Without replacement, you may run into problems when trying to sell your home as it tends to deter buyers. In addition, a home with knob and tube wiring is incompatible with modern living.
