These terms cover your use of phillyknobandtube.com, operated by Philly Knob & Tube. By using the site, you agree to them. Questions go to office@phillyknobandtube.com.
What the information is for
The guides explain how knob and tube wiring works and what replacing it involves in Philadelphia houses and small residential buildings. They are general information, not an inspection or advice about a particular property. Codes, permit rules and fees change, so check current requirements with the Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections before relying on them.
Price ranges and tools
The price ranges, the cost estimator and the assessment are budgeting and planning tools. They are not quotes, offers or a judgment about whether any house is safe or insurable. The price for a house comes after a walk-through, in a written quote.
The work itself
Philly Knob & Tube offers and manages knob and tube replacement in the City of Philadelphia. The electrical work is performed by appropriately licensed and insured electrical contractors. The terms of any job are the ones in its written quote or contract, not these site terms.
Sending a request
Sending a form or calling does not create a contract. Please send accurate details and only for a property you own or are buying, selling or managing. Automated or abusive submissions are blocked.
Safety
Nothing on this site asks you to open, touch or test electrical equipment. If you notice heat, scorching or a burning smell at an outlet, switch or light, stop using it and call an electrician. If you see smoke or flame, leave the house and call 911.
