What should I do if I smell burning near the panel for Knob And Tube Wiring Replacement?

A burning smell near the panel can signal a fire risk, so move away and call emergency services if you see smoke or fire.

Don't touch the panel or attempt to work on its wiring. Tell us where you noticed the smell and whether lights or outlets have also lost power.

Which details should I share when I request an assessment?

Inspection reports and the locations of affected outlets help us understand your wiring concern.

Tell us about flickering lights, dead outlets or breaker trips, along with any known old wiring. If you have a property inspection report, share the relevant findings so we can discuss the assessment with you.

When might a panel upgrade be part of the work?

A panel upgrade may be part of the plan if the existing panel can't support the proposed circuits.

We assess the panel alongside the wiring needs of the property. The wiring replacement and any panel work have separate scopes, and we'll discuss the proposed work with you before it starts.

Why does access to old wiring change the quote?

Access changes the quote because wiring behind finished walls or ceilings takes different work to reach.

The number and route of affected circuits also shape the scope. We'll look at the accessible areas and discuss the work needed for your property before preparing a quote.
