Knob & Tube Wiring in St. Louis
Knob & Tube Wiring Replacement in Franklin, St. Charles, & St. Louis Counties
St. Louis has some of the Midwest's most beautiful older housing stock. The brick row houses of Soulard, the craftsman bungalows of Maplewood, and the historic homes lining the streets of Webster Groves and Kirkwood are houses built to last, and many of them have.
What hasn't aged as gracefully are the electrical systems installed when they were constructed. Knob and tube wiring, the standard method used in American homes from roughly the 1880s through the 1940s, was designed for a world that used a fraction of the electricity a modern household demands. If your St. Louis home was built before 1950 and has never had a complete electrical update, there is a good chance some or all of that original wiring is still in the walls.
Potts Electric works with homeowners throughout the St. Louis metro to assess, repair, and replace knob and tube wiring. Our licensed team can provide you with an honest evaluation of what you have, the risks, and your options before any work begins.

Our Knob & Tube Wiring Services
Potts Electric assesses and remediates knob and tube wiring for homeowners throughout the metro, starting with a thorough inspection that documents exactly what is present before any recommendation is made. Because knob and tube systems are frequently mixed with wiring added in later decades, getting an accurate picture of the whole system is the essential first step.
The remediation path depends on what the inspection reveals. In some cases, targeted work on specific circuits is the practical solution. In others, the condition of the wiring or the homeowner's plans for the property make a more complete rewire the smarter long-term investment. We can walk you through both options with clear, honest information about what each involves and what it costs.
Insurance is a practical consideration worth raising early. Some homeowners' insurers in Missouri are reluctant to write or renew policies on homes with active knob and tube wiring, and others require remediation as a condition of coverage. If you are buying or selling an older St. Louis-area home, knowing your options before the transaction begins puts you in a much stronger position.
