West Houston Electric prices knob‑and‑tube replacement after an on‑site evaluation because total cost varies by home size, access, and any panel or code upgrades required. The largest share is labor to abandon old runs where safe, fish new grounded copper wiring, and add modern protection like GFCIs and AFCIs. Our licensed team often finds the cleanest approach is to leave inaccessible sections in place and pull new dedicated circuits to each outlet and light, reducing wall damage. We regularly complete whole‑home rewiring in the Katy area and can coordinate panel upgrades when needed. If the old wiring is brittle, overheats, or lacks grounding, full replacement is usually safer than piecemeal fixes; treat scorch marks or frequent breaker trips as urgent.
What affects your final price:
- Square footage and number of circuits to replace
- Attic/crawlspace access and drywall/plaster repair needs
- Panel capacity and any required panel upgrade
- Required GFCI/AFCI additions and smoke detector updates
