Knob and Tube Wiring Replacement in Cranford, NJ

Knob and tube removal near Garwood and Kenilworth

Cranford is in Union County, and our crews are in the area most days. If you are just outside town, we also work in Garwood, Kenilworth, Westfield and Roselle Park. Here we cover ZIP code 07016.

Older Union County buildings hide a lot behind the plaster. Around Cranford we regularly open a box and find ungrounded two-wire cable, a fuse panel still feeding part of the house, or circuits added by three different owners. None of that is unusual in North Jersey. The job is to trace it properly, fix what is unsafe first, and leave you with a panel schedule that finally matches the house.
