24-HR Emergency Service 905-634-5577 | 289-301-7383
If your home was built before the 1950s, there is a good chance some knob and tube wiring is still in the walls. It was the standard of its day, but it has no ground conductor, the insulation becomes brittle with age, and it was never designed for the load a modern household puts on it. For over 70 years, Brant Electric Limited has been removing and replacing knob and tube wiring for homeowners in Burlington, Oakville, Hamilton and the surrounding communities.
Most homeowners come to us for one of two reasons: an insurance company has asked for the wiring to be removed before renewing a policy, or a home inspection has flagged it during a sale. Either way, we assess what is actually still live, give you a clear scope, and rewire in a way that keeps drywall damage to a minimum. All work is completed by licensed electricians and notified to the ESA where required.
Got questions? Give Brant Electric Limited a call today to install, upgrade or repair your lighting systems.
We inspect the property to determine how much knob and tube wiring is present and which areas of the home are affected.

Power down or a safety issue? Our crews respond around the clock for commercial & industrial clients.
A breaker trips because something on that circuit is drawing more current than it should, or because there is a fault. Resetting it repeatedly does not address the cause and is not safe as a long-term habit — have the circuit looked at.
It depends entirely on the fault. Some are found in minutes; an intermittent problem that only appears in certain conditions takes longer. We will tell you what we are seeing as we go.
