Knob and tube electrical

[Brendan Chetuck]

Hi all,

Looking at a house in the Albany, New York area and had a question. Has anyone ever dealt with knob and tube electrical?

I know prices vary from region to region but I would like a rough estimate for how much it would take to replace knob and tube in a 2700 sq ft duplex but in 1914.

Also I was wondering if it is required to update it?

It’s a pretty nice house and a reasonable area, but depending on the knob and tube, it could be a game changer.

Thanks everyone!
