"We had an excellent experience with Awesome Electrical Services updating our historic home from outdated knob-and-tube wiring to a modern electrical system. Brian was incredibly communicative, taking the time to discuss the project, timeline, and costs while patiently answering all of our questions. Patty was wonderful, making scheduling, paperwork, and communication easy and efficient. Their entire crew was knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and respectful. JR and Nick were exceptional foremen who went above and beyond to keep the project on track and ensure every detail was addressed. We'd also like to thank Mike, Julian, Trey, and Chris for their professionalism and craftsmanship. Rewiring an older home is a major undertaking, but they made the process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Awesome Electrical Services, especially for owners of older homes."

"The Electrician called me immediately after I filled out the form on Service Magic. He was able to come and replace a bad switch i had within three hours of my having spoken with him. He was polite, professional and finished the job quickly and at an excellent price. I was very happy with the speed and quality of the service and would definitely use BN Electric again."

"Working with BabyBird Electric has been an all around great experience. Rick is very knowledgable and explains in detail the work that is going to be preformed. We bought an older home with electric wiring of just about every type back to knob and tube. The work was extensive and Rick has walked us through each step with consideration for safety, cost, and aesthetics. The work included install of a new upgraded service, and essentially a rewire of the entire home. With other renovations underway and the serious challenge of solid brick walls, Rick has creatively solved problems and greatly improved the quality of our home. If you appreciate excellent customer service, high quality work, and the the personal touch of a family run business you won't be disappointed with BabyBird. We highly recommend."

"Paul and his team are great! Of all the estimates we got for the work, Scott stood out because he listened to what we needed and knew about the house, gave reasonable suggestions based on his experience, and gave us a clear idea of what the work would entail. There was some difficulty in pinning down a date for the work, but that was the only hiccup we had in working with Pricelight. They showed up when they said they would, rather than giving a few hours as a "range" of arrival time each day, and his workers Paul and Nick checked in by phone when we couldn't be at the house and something came up. If other electric needs arise we will go to them first, and have already put in a good word with a neighbor."

"Simon and Keaton were great; They were timely and efficient and explained the pros and cons every step of the way. The end result of our outside lighting project was wonderful. Our neighbors immediately called us to compliment the job and asked who did it. We were delighted to refer them to Prodigy and will use them again for any future electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

Black is the standard color for hot wires, which transfer electricity to your outlets and switches. Red wires are also hot wires. White (and sometimes gray) wires are considered neutral, delivering power back to the panel. Finally, green wires, which are sometimes bare copper, are ground wires, used to ground an electrical circuit and prevent electrocution.

The answer depends on your needs and the availability of your current electrical panel. If you’re hoping to seriously up the power in your detached living space, you may also need to consider increasing the power of the amp your home runs on (from 100-amps to 200-amps, for example).

Just as fluorescent lights are more efficient than incandescent lights, LED lights are more efficient to run than fluorescent lights. The specifics will vary from product to product, but LED lights are typically twice as efficient as equivalent fluorescent lights. A 13-watt CFL bulb can replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb, but a 6- to 8-watt LED bulb can offer the same amount of brightness. Fluorescent lights offer about 50 lumens per watt, while LEDs offer about 100 lumens per watt. LED light bulbs typically last two to three times as long as CFL bulbs, too. 

Provided you leave the switch in the off position, your broken bulb shouldn’t be drawing any power. However, there’s always the risk that the switch is turned on by accident, potentially causing electrical damage or even a fire. Plus, broken glass in the home is never ideal. For safety, it’s a good idea to remove broken bulbs as soon as possible. If you’re in doubt, a local lighting professional can help you remove the bulb safely and quickly.
