How much does it cost to replace knob and tube wiring?

Replacing knob and tube wiring is priced after an in-home evaluation because the scope, access, and required safety upgrades drive cost. Appleton Campbell starts with a $29 Whole Home Electrical Safety Inspection to assess your wiring and panel capacity. Full replacement is usually the safest long-term fix; partial rewiring can work during targeted renovations. Homes with prior additions can hide mixed wiring behind finished walls, which may change the plan once opened. Our licensed electricians handle these projects for homeowners around Jeffersonton with up-front pricing. If you notice burning smells, frequent breaker trips, or shocks, treat it as urgent and shut off the affected circuit.

Key price drivers:

  • Total circuits and square footage to be rewired.
  • Attic/crawl access and wall type (plaster vs drywall).
  • Need for panel upgrades or smart panel integration.
  • Added protection like GFCI/AFCI and whole-home surge protection.

Schedule the $29 safety inspection to receive a written scope and up-front rewiring price.
