Will insurance company accept up to code knob and tube wiring?
Question is if insurance companies will accept a duplex that has knob and tube wiring but has been approved by certified electrician that it is up to code

@Aidan Hadley it may be up to the code that existed when it was installed, 80-100 years ago, when FDR was president, but that doesn’t mean it’s up to current code. Replace ASAP. Electrical is not like women and wine, it doesn’t get better with age.
