Toronto has many homes built before the 1950s, in neighbourhoods like the Annex, Cabbagetown, Leslieville, Riverdale, Roncesvalles, High Park and the Beaches, and many of them still have some knob and tube wiring hidden in the walls and ceilings, even after past renovations.
We will explain up front how any wall and ceiling openings are handled in your quote.
Homes with knob and tube often also have a 60A or 100A service. Doing the rewire and a panel upgrade together is usually simpler, with one permit process and fewer visits. Learn more about the fire hazards of knob and tube wiring, or request a quote and call (647) 529-2972.
