Hey, Roman here — your electrician near you in Pacifica and the Bay Area.
Let’s talk about something I come across all too often in San Francisco homes:
knob-and-tube wiring — the OG of electrical systems. It showed up back when folks were switching from gas lights to electric bulbs. That was, oh… about 90+ years ago.
And here’s the thing — yeah, it was clever in its time. But today?
It’s outdated and risky. No grounding. Cloth insulation that crumbles. Splices hidden behind walls with no junction boxes. It’s just not built for the demands of modern living — smart devices, high loads, or even basic surge protection.
To be blunt: it’s a fire hazard waiting to happen. Especially with today’s sensitive breakers and advanced safety equipment.
If you’ve got an older home — or you’re not sure what kind of wiring you have — let’s take a look. I’ll do a full inspection, explain everything in plain English, and recommend what’s safest.
Because your peace of mind matters.
And that’s what a responsible electrician near you should offer.
📍Based in Pacifica. I serve San Francisco, Treasure Island, Daly City, San Mateo, Palo Alto, and surrounding areas.
