Frequently Asked Questions
My home has knob-and-tube wiring — do I need to replace it?
Knob-and-tube wiring was standard in homes built before 1950. While not automatically illegal, it lacks a ground wire, can be a fire hazard if improperly modified, and is often rejected by homeowner's insurance. Rutledge Electric can assess your existing wiring and recommend whether a full rewire is needed.
What is aluminum wiring and is it dangerous?
Aluminum wiring was commonly used in homes built in the 1960s and 70s as a cost-saving measure. It can loosen over time and create fire hazards at connection points. Rutledge Electric can perform an aluminum wiring inspection and install CO/ALR-rated outlets and devices — or replace the wiring entirely.
How do I know if my home needs to be rewired?
Signs your home may need rewiring: lights flicker or dim regularly, breakers trip often, you have outlets without ground slots (2-prong), there are burned marks on outlets or switches, or your home is 40+ years old and has never been rewired. Call for a free assessment.
