Locating Knob and Tube Wiring

Pro Tip

Pretty much all Electricians use the same method as a way to give a free estimate. A few electricians, make assumptions by the way the outlets, lights, and switches “look,” but I don’t feel this is a good way as it has too much room for error. The reason electricians don’t want to go completely through homes on a free estimate is because they may not get the job.

If an Electrician spends three or four hours at your home determining where the knob and tube is located; they just did you a huge favor. If you were then to take their scope write-up and pass it on to another electrician to bid. That would be very unfair to the first electrician who came through and did all the hard work for free.
