Knob and tube wiring present, not as safe as modern wiring, engage qualified electrician to evaluate, budget for repairs/replacement: Older knob and tube wiring is present in the house; it is not as safe as more modern wiring. Many insurance companies will not issue homeowner insurance coverage if knob and tube wiring is part of the electrical distribution system. Even if the accessible knob and tube wiring appears to be abandoned or dead, this does not preclude the distinct possibility that some of this wiring may still be in use in inaccessible areas such as within wall cavities. Have the knob and tube wiring evaluated by a qualified electrician, and budget as needed for repairs or replacement.
