Inspection & Home Condition
Knob and Tube Wiring
Knob and tube is an early electrical wiring system used in BC homes built before ~1950. It has no ground wire and uses ceramic knobs and tubes to route conductors. Most insurers will not write home insurance on active knob and tube without a remediation plan, and many lenders refuse mortgages without it removed. Inspection by a licensed electrician is the standard step before insurance or lender decisions; full replacement typically costs $8,000–$25,000+ depending on home size. Knob and tube is a standard line item in a home-inspection report on a pre-1950 property.
