Yes - in most cases, replacing knob and tube wiring is strongly recommended. It lacks a grounding system, can’t safely handle modern electrical loads, and may have deteriorated insulation. Many insurance companies won’t insure homes with active knob and tube wiring. Murtex Electric provides full inspections and complete rewiring options to bring your home up to modern electrical standards.
A complete rewiring typically takes 3–7 days, depending on the size of the home and how accessible the wiring is. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring everything is brought up to current electrical code. We also coordinate with homeowners to schedule work in phases when needed.
Some access holes may be required, but we always work to keep them minimal. Murtex Electric uses modern tools and strategic wiring methods to limit drywall repairs. After rewiring, any small access points can be easily patched by a drywall professional. We prioritize clean workmanship and protecting your home throughout the entire project.

You may need an upgrade if your lights flicker, breakers trip often, your panel is outdated, or you’re adding high-demand appliances like HVAC systems, EV chargers, or hot tubs. If your electrical system struggles to keep up, it’s time to upgrade.
Most upgrades can be completed within a single day, depending on the complexity of your system. Murtex Electric handles all permits, inspections, and coordination to ensure a smooth, efficient process with minimal downtime.
Absolutely. A modern panel improves safety, reduces the risk of electrical fires, increases your home’s power capacity, and adds value to your property. It also ensures your system is ready for future electrical needs and modern technology.
