Knob-and-tube wiring: risks and options
Common in homes built before the 1940s, knob-and-tube wiring isn’t automatically dangerous, but it has real limits.
Electrical questions
How do I find my panel’s size?
The main breaker, usually at the top of the panel, is labeled with its amperage, such as 100 or 200. Older homes often have 60 to 100 amp service.
Do I always need a bigger panel to add electric appliances?
Not always. A load calculation shows whether your existing panel can handle new equipment, and load-management devices can sometimes avoid an upgrade.
