Knob & Tube and Aluminum Wiring Replacement in Cloverdale, CA
Knob and tube wiring was state of the art a century ago, and aluminum branch wiring was a cost-saving shortcut in the 1960s and 70s. Both are common in older Cloverdale neighborhoods, and both create real fire risk as connections loosen and insulation crumbles. Unique Electrical Services replaces knob and tube and aluminum wiring in Cloverdale, CA with grounded copper.

Every project in Cloverdale starts with a thorough inspection of accessible attic, crawlspace and wall wiring. We document what is active, what is abandoned, and where connections show heat damage. From there we build a phased plan that replaces the risky wiring first and keeps your family's routine intact.

We explain both routes honestly. Homeowners in Geyserville, Hopland and Yorkville and across Sonoma County have relied on that straight advice.
