Knob and Tube Wiring Replacement and Removal in Toronto

Knob & Tube Wiring Replacement Service

The knob and tube wiring systems can last a long time but one of the main problems that you as a homeowner can encounter is the wear and tear that happens over time due to excess use, any kind of damage, or worn out insulation. This can cause the wiring to break off leaving it bare and exposed.

Bare wires can cause house fires and that can result in far worse damages which no homeowner wants. Replacing or repairing the knob and tube wiring system is not expensive and can also be done fairly quickly with minimal damages, if done by the right electrical service providers. Regular and timely replacement and rewiring will maintain the integrity and most of all, the value of your home.

Many homeowners search for the best licensed electrical contractors for knob and tube wiring replacement in Toronto to bring older homes up to current safety standards. As one of the top-rated licensed electricians for knob and tube replacement in Toronto, Canadian Wire Wizards offers comprehensive rewiring services that comply with ESA and Ontario Electrical Safety Code requirements.

What You Should Know

FAQs – Knob and Tube Wiring Replacement Toronto

Knob and tube wiring was popular in homes built before the 1950s. However, when knob and tube wiring begins to show signs of wear, it must be replaced. With knob and tube wiring replacement in Toronto, you can rest assured that your home's electrical system is safe and up to code. Always hire a certified technician to protect your family from hazardous electrical conditions.

Knob and tube wiring can cause many potential problems, making it important to be aware of the associated risks. If knob and tube wiring is present in your home, knob and tube replacement in Toronto is recommended for preventing electrical shocks, fire hazards, and other complications.

Trusting a professional electrician for knob and tube installation inspection or repairs is key for ensuring your safety.

While it’s not illegal to have K&T wiring, having it may constitute a breach of regulations that govern how commercial premises operate with respect to building safety.

Most K&T wiring systems were fitted way back in the 1930s, so it’s highly unlikely it’s still safe, particularly given how modern businesses use far more electricity than offices did nearly a century ago!

If you have K&T wiring, we strongly recommend giving us a call so that we can come out and inspect it for you. We can then advise you on the best course of action.

The short answer is that it depends. We provide individualized quotes that are tailored to each customer and their premises. Some factors that we take into consideration include the size of the premises, the age, quality, and accessibility of the current wiring, whether it needs replacing or maintaining, and the kind of wiring the client wants to upgrade to.

We do offer FREE, no-obligation quotes on rewiring jobs, so get in touch and we’ll come out, take a look at the situation, and discuss what needs to be done. Based on our recommendations, you can then decide the best course of action depending on your budget and requirements.

Companies that focus on older homes typically offer full panel upgrades, staged rewiring, and ESA permit coordination. They’re familiar with plaster walls, limited attic access, and other challenges common in heritage properties.

Trusted contractors are fully licensed by the ESA, carry liability insurance, and provide proof of previous ESA inspections. They offer clear project timelines, staged work for occupied homes, and written warranties.

  I called Young for a small job after using his company Canadian Wire Wizards previously about a year ago. Once again I was not disappointed. Young came himself on time, and quickly assessed the issue, and offered good advice on the optical placement of a new electrical receptacle for a basement dehumidifier. The work was completed in a professional, timely, and efficient manner that you would expect from a master electrician. We have lived in our century year old Toronto home for over 40 years and have had the occasion to hire many tradesmen over that period. Young and his team from Canadian Wire Wizards stands out among the best in helping us live safely while preserving our investment!

  As a first time homeowner moving into an older Toronto house, there were a lot of daunting/new challenges; one being knob and tube. Demetri was very professional and reliable. We had called a few places to get some quotes (some of which didn't even show up or showed up very late). Demetri and his team was a pro from start to finish. Would definitely use them again and recommend them to everyone!

  Excellent team of electricians.  Installed a small panel in my shed and left the place cleaner than before they started.

They even gave me some tips, like dimmer switch should not be used with motion sensor light, which I did not know.

Fair price and excellent service, highly recommended!

  We hired Canadian Wire Wizards to install new 15amp GFCI type
receptacles in our home and garage as well as to repair our exterior back light and switch.

Overall, Demetri and his team of technicians (Jason and Sean) were great and I highly recommend Canadian Wire Wizards.  They are very professional, friendly, efficient and customer-oriented.  We asked 3 different vendors for their quotes and Canadian Wire Wizards team was the most reasonable and diligent one from start to finish.  Demetri first came to our home to assess our needs in person and came back to us with very reasonable and thoughtful estimate.  Jason and Sean completed their installation and repair work in a timely manner and left our place clean.

Due to their outstanding service, I intend to use Canadian Wire Wizards for any future needs.

  We just bought our first house and we were VERY Nervous when we found out there was Knob and Tube in it. Our realtor suggested Young and his crew and we couldn't be happier! Young did a full survey of the house and let us know what would be needed to update the wiring to code, there wasn't any pressure or crazy upsells, he listened to what we need and just provided some great suggestions on placement to make our lives easier!  We had a bit of a rushed timeline and he was able to get started right away. He kept us updated on the process, always calling or texting if he had any questions or concerns before he placed an outlet or switch.

We couldn't of asked for a better experience and we have found our electrical team for life!

Electrical stuff can be scary but not with this team! make sure you call them ASAP.
