Knob and Tube Wiring Replacement Dover, NH

It's crucial to replace any knob and tube wiring in Dover area homes due to the safety risks associated with the aging materials and the increased demand on home electrical systems. Older wiring can cause performance issues, especially given today's electrical demands. Frequent breaker trips, inconsistent lighting, or warm outlets may indicate that your system is under strain, and the lack of grounding and insulation associated with old knob and tube wiring increases the likelihood of electrical shocks and fire hazards, particularly when insulation has already begun to fail.

Upgrading outdated wiring helps ensure safety and peace of mind that your home can support the devices and appliances that you depend on daily. If you notice any of the above issues, or if your home has not been inspected in many years, a professional assessment can help determine if knob and tube components are still present.

Rewiring a home often presents the ideal moment to update other electrical components. Mr. Electric of Southeast NH provides a range of additional services that improve safety, increase convenience, and prepare your home for long-term efficiency:

• Electrical outlet upgrades: Outlets that have been in place for decades may not meet current safety requirements. Upgrading them during rewiring allows us to install grounded, tamper-resistant options that better protect your home and support modern device usage.
• Panel upgrades: Even with new wiring, an older electrical panel may limit your system’s capacity. Modernizing your panel helps your home better manage higher electrical loads, supports new technologies, and allows room for future electrical additions. Panel upgrades often go hand in hand with major wiring projects.
• Dedicated circuits: Certain appliances and devices function more reliably when placed on dedicated circuits. Items such as HVAC equipment, refrigerators, microwaves, and EV chargers often benefit from their own circuit to prevent overloads and maintain consistent performance.
• Whole house rewiring: If their home has extensive aging wiring beyond knob and tube wiring, Dover residents should consider a whole house rewiring to update their home's entire electrical system, improving its safety, efficiency, and overall value. We often recommend doing so during major renovations or when homes have not seen electrical updates in several decades.
