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.-


note you said 15 years........ thats a long time..


before all the wild unpredictable weather that wipes out entire
communities and costs insurance megabucks in losses


plus insurance is a competive business. why should homeowners
insurance companies take on higher risk customers? that hurts their
bottom line


K&T homes are functionally obsolete, with just ONE outlet per bedroom,
few outlets overall, requiring lots of extension cords, with a long
lifetime to aquire hacked upgrades, like the photo in this discssion.
K&T doesnt use boxes for connections, thats a real hazard. a buddy of
mine has K&T and has connections fry.


will the posters who claim K&T is fine please post if they still have
it???


every time this topic comes up we have the same discussion


That is because every time someone mentions K&T wiring you go off on a
religious rant and if anyone dares to disagree it gores your sacred ox
and you rant all the more. *How about we all chant three times "K&T
wiring is evidence of the devils influence in this world and a brazen
manifestation of evil." *Will that satisfy your religious fervor on
this issue.

I will confess here and now that I am one of the devils agents. *I
have installed K&T wiring in the last twenty years. *The fact that it
was an historic building and that it was installed with money from a
preservation grant will never assuage a true believer but that is OK
with me.
