Outdated Wiring. Serious Risks.

Safe Electrical System Upgrades.

Knob and tube wiring lacks grounding and insulation protection required by modern electrical systems. As wiring ages, insulation can deteriorate, connections can loosen, and circuits may become overloaded under modern electrical loads such as kitchens, laundry areas, and entertainment systems. Our electricians remove unsafe wiring and upgrade your electrical system to safely support modern appliances and electrical loads through properly grounded circuits and code-compliant rewiring.

Reduce Fire and Electrical Hazards

Removing outdated wiring helps reduce the risk of overheating, electrical fires, and unsafe circuit conditions inside older homes by eliminating ungrounded and deteriorated wiring systems that are no longer considered safe under current electrical standards.

Meet Insurance Requirements

Many insurance companies require knob and tube wiring to be removed before issuing or renewing home insurance policies due to increased fire risk, lack of grounding, and inability to support modern electrical demand.

Upgrade to Modern Electrical Wiring

Replacing knob and tube circuits allows your home to support grounded outlets, modern breakers, and improved electrical capacity through updated wiring systems connected to a properly rated electrical panel caused by undersized or ungrounded legacy wiring systems.

Improve Electrical Reliability

Modern wiring systems provide stable electrical performance, reducing breaker trips, overloaded circuits, and inconsistent power.

AMAZING!! That’s the word that I’d use to describe Platinum and their crew. Brandon, Adam and Harrison are consummate professionals. Always on time, hard working and no messing around. They had a job to do and they did it perfectly. We had some knob and tube wiring to be replaced. A terrible job, in our older home, that they completed ahead of schedule and cleaned up after. Platinum Power Solutions is the only electrical company that I’d call for any further work.

Harrison B. did a great job installing 2 new plugs in our mechanical room and making sure the appropriate electrical lines were rendered safe for an upcoming reframing. Would highly recommend him and Platinum in addressing your electrical needs.
