Introduction to the Knob and Tube to Romex Conversion in Annapolis, MD
Our team at Deshaies Electrical Services, your trusted electrician in Annapolis, MD, recently completed a significant project in Annapolis, MD 21401. The task involved a complete transition from the old-fashioned knob and tube wiring to the modern and safer Romex wiring in a residential property. Our local electricians carried out the work with precision, adhering to the latest electrical standards for safety and efficiency.
Details of the Installation Process and Wiring
The conversion process required the installation of 80 feet of wire mold, inclusive of wire mold boxes and wire mold 90, for efficient cable management. We used 30 wire mold straps to secure the wiring firmly. Our electricians also installed 65 feet of THHN black, white, and green wires, providing reliable and safe connectivity throughout the property.
Additionally, we made sure to clean up after the installation, leaving the second, third, and basement levels tidy and ready for use. We also took care of the drywall patching, ensuring a seamless finish after the electrical work.
Inspection and Testing for Optimal Functionality
Once the installation was complete, our team conducted rigorous testing of all electrical outlets and switches. This step was crucial to guarantee their optimal functionality and safety. We also ensured that all plates were correctly sitting on switches and outlets, maintaining a neat and professional installation throughout the property.
Additional Electrical Adjustments and Upgrades
As part of the project, we rehung an old porch light for inspection purposes, despite it initially having no power. We also installed a 2-gang box by the front door to address an existing hole in the plaster. Although the box sits a bit crooked due to the size of the hole, this installation met the necessary inspection criteria.
Completion of the Project and Final Touches
At the end of the project, all knob and tube wiring was fully replaced and removed, especially from the attic, ensuring a modern and safe electrical system. Our local electricians made sure that the entire house was ready for the final inspection, successfully upgrading to Romex wiring in Annapolis, MD.
