Some of the older homes around Downtown Brampton and the city's established streets still have knob-and-tube wiring hidden in the walls and attic. This early ungrounded system wasn't built for today's loads, and many insurers won't cover a home until it's replaced. We remove and rewire it across Peel Region.
Knob & Tube Wiring in Brampton: local know-how
Knob-and-tube wiring has no ground, runs hot under modern loads, and becomes dangerous when buried under blown-in attic insulation, something we see often in older Brampton homes that have been upgraded for energy efficiency. We assess how much active knob-and-tube remains, then replace it with modern grounded cable, install proper junction boxes, and add grounded receptacles throughout. The work is ESA-coordinated and inspected. This matters most for insurance: many Ontario insurers refuse or surcharge coverage on homes with active knob-and-tube, and buyers' lenders frequently flag it during a sale near Downtown Brampton. We can stage the rewire room by room to keep the home livable, and provide the ESA documentation your insurer or real-estate lawyer will ask for.
