WTF!? ⚡ When old wiring meets new wiring, things can get interesting!
Today’s inspection uncovered active knob-and-tube wiring connected to newer Romex cable, exposed electrical splices, and a grounding wire that was left disconnected.
All right next to the electrical panel. 😳
Knob-and-tube wiring isn’t automatically unsafe just because it’s old. But exposed connections and improper wiring transitions create real safety concerns.
Just because someone updated part of the wiring doesn’t mean they did it correctly!
Another reason we look beyond what’s visible in the living room.
