Knob & Tube Replacement in Windsor

Knob & Tube Replacement for Windsor homes

Windsor's century homes, post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions mean everything from knob and tube to EV chargers, often on the same street. Windsor has one of the region's largest stocks of pre-1950 homes, from Walkerville and Olde Sandwich Towne to the streets around Ottawa Street and Ford City. We regularly find knob and tube still live in their upper floors, often spliced into newer cable by a previous owner, and we trace every run before we quote.

What's included

Removal and replacement of knob and tube wiring in older homes, with documentation for insurance and home sales. Depending on your property, the work can include:

• Tracing every circuit
• New grounded wiring
• Disconnecting the old system
• Careful access
• Paperwork
• Assessment.
• Written quote.
• Replacement.
• Inspection and paperwork.

Local conditions in Windsor

Windsor's plaster and lath walls, brick exteriors and balloon framing take patience to wire through. Older homes often have knob and tube in the upper floors, ungrounded outlets and decades of add-ons, so we trace what's there before planning new circuits, pot lights or a renovation.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for knob & tube replacement in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

• How much knob and tube is still live?
• Will the old system be disconnected completely?
• Is patching included?
• What's your ESA licence number, and will you file the permit?
• Will you provide paperwork for my insurer?

Permits and inspections

Electrical work in Windsor needs a permit (called a notification) filed with the Electrical Safety Authority, and paid work must be done by an ESA Licensed Electrical Contractor. ESA inspects the work and issues a Certificate of Acceptance, which insurers and buyers often ask for. Service upgrades also involve ENWIN Utilities for the disconnect and reconnect. Utility locates are requested before any digging for buried runs.
