I Have Knob & Tube Wiring. Is It Safe?

Knob and Tube is an ungrounded wiring system. These outlets present a risk of shock to people while operating the everyday electronics and appliances in your home.
Because of the age of the wiring it is very likely additional electrical has been added to the system. For the homeowner, handyman or even electricians that are unfamiliar with knob and tube wiring it is common and dangerous that the modifications were made improperly increasing the risk of an electrical fire. (In the image to the right you can see someone illegally added onto the knob and tube circuit with modern romex.)
The wires are run in parallel to dissipate heat and adding insulation around them can make the wires overheat creating a fire hazard.
