Knob and tube removal in Keasbey

Knob and tube wiring replacement in Keasbey: common questions
Is knob and tube wiring illegal?
No, existing installations are allowed to remain. But it cannot be extended, it should not be covered with insulation, and many insurers will not accept it.
Can I insulate over knob and tube?
No. The wiring relies on open air to stay cool. Replace it first, then insulate.
Do you have to open the walls?
Less than you might think. Most new cable is fished from the basement and attic.
