My bathroom is in a dormer. I keep my house cool (55F) most of
the winter, and heat the room I'm in with small electric heaters.
The bathroom has two wall mounted lights, with two prong
unpolarized outlets. I was running a small (600W) heater off of
the light, until I discovered that the lights run off the old
knob and tube wiring in the attic, which are partially covered in
loose insulation. (!) This is the original lighting circuit
(15A)that feeds most of the overhead fixtures installed when the
house was built (c.1920).

I want new electric service, new panel, and removal of ALL the
K&T and old BX wiring in the house. Then I can INSULATE (yay!).

Just curious, why do you feel it necessary to remove the BX?
