Wired Tube
Posted on Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 at 10:01 amI have knob and tube wiring in my 120 year old house.?
I was planning to rewire the whole house, however, money is tight. I was thinking ...(dangerous I know) Why can't I just put in breakers that can handle more electricity? I know I need to seperate some of the lines on the first floor, they blow if I run too much stuff. But after seperating some of the lines, can't I just use higher amp breakers?
No you can't install higher amperage breakers. Your breaker's amperage rating is based on the wire size currently in place. # 14 AWG is rated for 15 amps maximum. # 12 AWG is rated for 20 amps maximum.
If you have knob and tube wiring, I highly recommend replacing it. The old knob and tube wiring used cloth insulation that breaks down and becomes very brittle rendering it useless.
