Knob and Tube Replacement and Wire Update

KNT Electric did a wonderful job at re-wiring our home and removing the old knob and tube from our home. They arrived on time, finished the job on time, were clean, covered all our furniture, did what they said they would do and fixed all the holes they made. KNT is very professional and I recommend them to anyone looking a good electrician to service their home.

Knob & Tube Replacement

We chose Bill and his team to replace the original knob and tube wiring in our 100+ year old home based on the excellent reviews his company had on Homestars.
The quote given by KNT was accurate and transparent. Bill advised us every time an addition to the original quote was required and was completely understanding and helpful when change orders were requested. He was upfront and truthful when he told us that our lath and plaster walls could be saved. (This was after asking two other contractors if they would work with plaster, only to be told that they needed to be TORN OUT!)
KNT staff arrived on time (in fact they were early every day) they are friendly and are always willing to accommodate the homeowner's requests. They are respectful of personal property and take their time to clean up after each work day.
Bill and KNT truly restored our faith in contractors as we have had unpleasant experiences in the past with unscrupulous tradesmen.
KNT went above and beyond what they were asked to do and did an excellent job restoring and installing our antique light fixtures. Bill even included small things free of charge, including the installation of extra protection when it was found that our walls contained SAWDUST.
The staff at KNT electric are fast, efficient, professional and courteous. This is everything anyone would want in a contractor. We would not hesitate to recommend KNT Electric to anybody with a vintage home that needs knob and tube replacement. KNT will be our electricians of choice from now on. If you hire them, you will not be disappointed!

Knob and tube rewire

Bill and crew did a great job quickly and on budget for the complete knob and tube replacement in our home. They must use magic tricks to replace the wiring because there were an impossibly small number of very discreet holes (which they expertly patched up). They are entirely professional, respectful of people and property in the home and incredibly accommodating. I highly recommend them and would be happy to speak with anyone considering their services. I am comfortable saying that you will not go wrong hiring them.

Knob and Tube Replacement

Bill Tang and his team were extremely professional, accomodating and helpful. We had a tight timeline before we moved into our house, and found that there was a lot of old knob and tube wiring. They went above and beyond to make our house meet the electrical standards (including replacing all of the knob and tube), and even did a great job patching up all the holes they had to make in our walls - after a little paint we can't even tell where they were. They were extremely pleasant to work with and I would highly recommend their services.

repllacement of knob and tube wiring

Our home still had the old wiring although some had been replaced when there was an electrical fire about ten years ago. We have been living in this house since October of last year. It was a worry and were very pleased to have it all replaced now. KNT had replaced the old wiring in another home that we had and we were very pleased. That is why we called them back when we purchased our present home. The work was done quickly and professionally and the guys are great to deal with. Thank you very much

Knob and Tube Replacement

I found KNT (Bill Tang) on Homestars. He was the only electrician I called to replace some knob and tube and do some other updates in a newly purchased rental property. Bill did exactly what he said he would (actually he did a little more), exactly when he said he would do it, and at the exact price quoted. Bill provided excellent documentation as needed by my insurance company before and after the project. His crew was professional and very accomodating of the tenants' concerns. In fact, they came back late on a Friday night to solve a largely unrelated problem with a dryer. KNT is now my go to electrician.

Thank you for the nice compliments. Your tenants were very nice to us, but I guess you now that since they are so close to you. It was no problem to come by on Friday night, I was having dinner close by. I wish you all the best and good luck with your new property.

Replace knob & tube wiring & repair

KNT did a fast, respectful and tidy job and even threw in some extras, all at $1,000 less than nearest other contractor. They did not harm the panelling or wall coverings and finished faster than estimated. I highly recommended Bill Tang.

remove knob and tube wiring, install wiring for a new kitchen, breaker panel repair and remediation to accommodate new demands, the removal and replacement of faulty wiring throughout the house in general

If you hear the words, “Leave that to me.” from Bill Tang of KNT electric, go mix yourself a cocktail because your job is done.

Bill stepped in after an incompetent electrician had left us with a mass of code violations, half wired rooms with no power or rooms with reversed polarity, sparking outlets, ceiling fixtures that were left hanging and/or smoking pot lights. Lights would come on with no reason and turn off by themselves. The breaker panel had been compromised, the house was not grounded and we had no idea if the knob and tube that was supposed to be removed by the first electrician, had in fact, been removed and or worse, what it had been replaced with. Further complicating matters was the fact that our basement was being turned into an apartment and the contractor for that job, had his own electrician for that particular project.

It was mess and so were we by the time KNT stepped into the picture. From the friendly, efficient and quiet electricians employed by Bill to the dust cloths over the furniture and the cat’s food and water dishes someone thoughtfully moved to a room with less action that particular day, to the daily check-ins Bill made to answer our questions and provide progress reports, to the truly skillful fishing of wire through our lath and plaster walls and the insignificant damage to same when a new outlet or switch was required, it was a flawlessly executed project.

Bill dropped by a few days before the city’s electrical inspection to ensure everything was as it should be that none of his work had been compromised by our renovation still in progress. He need not have bothered. We sailed through the inspection.

Outstanding.

Knob and Tube replacement and new fixtures

Bill and his team did a great job on re-wiring my old house. They were very detailed in their quote and itemized everything. They came prepared and did a walk-through in the house and marked where each new outlet or fixture would go. They even patched the holes made where the wire wash fished. The panel was even fully labelled upon completion. Very satisfied with the server and work. Highly recommended.

Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Do the walkthrough with them so you can decide the locations of new outlets and make decisions on whether to keep old fixtures.
