Services Provided By Hooper Electricians

Hooper electricians Do you have KNOB & TUBE wiring in your house? If so it could be an accident waiting to happen. Old wiring is not only inefficient but poses a serious fire hazard. Back in the 30's, 40's, and 50's, when this type of wiring was installed, the demand for current was low. Today's electricity demands are a hundred times what they were 50 years ago.

Not sure if you have knob and tube in your house? Go down to your basement and take a look at the ceiling. If you see white knobs affixed to your joists with electrical wire snaking through them, you have Hooper knob and tube wiring. The knobs (or insulators) keep the wires isolated from objects, and the ceramic tubes are used to line the holes through the wooden floor joists.

The old knob and tube wiring was a great system for the time as it was originally designed to carry modest currents. Today, however, the electrical demands for the average family are considerably greater. Fifty years ago there were no microwaves , air conditioners, toasters, or computers in the home. This puts an enormous strain on the old style of wiring.

So don't wait for your old wiring to cause a problem. Have a professional check it and give you proper advice on its replacement.
