Haller, the point is: I don't care!!! The point is YOU making these
definitive statements, based on a few accounts, as if NO ONE can get
insurance if they have K&T wiring. If you are going to be that definitive,
you have an obligation to prove it.




others HERE reported they HAD to upgrade to get homeowners.........

isnt that sufficent?

anyone who questions this just call and ask espically the OP and do ask
about rates since they may not be affordable(

Others HERE reported they could get insurance

isnt that sufficient?

You can't generalize your experiences to the whole country.

Getting insurance with k&T wiring may or may not be a problem depending
on area and insurance company.



And K&T wiring is not a defect under the NEC and there is nothing to
disclose (unless local codes don't allow its continued use).
