When my daughter wanted to buy a K+T wired house about 15 years ago, I
specifically asked the insurance agent if K+T wiring was a problem.
He said no, there were many more problems with aluminum wiring causing
fires than K+T wiring.

Part of our building at work dates back to about 1890. A large storage
closet and a small utility room each have one light fixture with K&T and
neither is ever used. Insurance inspector said they must be changed. The
rest of the building had been rewired decades ago.
