Your options

Knob and tube has no ground wire and insulation that turns brittle with age, especially where attic insulation has been piled over it. Aluminum branch wiring expands and contracts more than copper, which loosens connections and creates heat. Both are common in older Bloomfield neighborhoods and both can be dealt with.

Knob & Tube and Aluminum Wiring Replacement FAQs for Bloomfield

Does aluminum wiring have to be completely replaced?

Not always. Replacing it with copper is the most complete fix. A recognized alternative is to repair every connection in the house with connectors made for joining aluminum to copper. We explain the cost and trade-offs of each.

Is knob and tube wiring illegal in Bloomfield?

Existing knob and tube is not automatically illegal, but it cannot be extended, it should not be buried in insulation, and many insurers will not cover a home that has it. Replacement is the long-term answer.

Will replacing old wiring damage my walls?

We keep openings as few and small as we can by working from the attic and crawl space. Some patching is normal, particularly in plaster and adobe.

Which areas around Bloomfield do you cover for old wiring replacement?

All of Bloomfield and the surrounding San Juan County communities, including Aztec, Flora Vista, and Blanco.
