Knob and Tube Wiring Replacement in New Milford, NJ

Old house wiring replacement in New Milford

The first step is finding what is actually live. Houses are often partly rewired, and old runs get spliced into new ones. We trace each circuit, disconnect the knob and tube, and run new grounded cable to every device it served. Dead wiring left inside walls is disconnected at both ends.
