About Placentia

Service Questions
Original knob-and-tube can be hazardous when modified, overloaded, or covered with insulation that traps heat. It also lacks an equipment grounding conductor. Insurers and home inspectors frequently require replacement. We evaluate what is still energized and quote a code-compliant copper system.
Yes — that is common. Panel upgrades and whole-home rewires are different scopes. We only recommend rewiring when branch circuits are unsafe or inadequate, not as an automatic add-on to every 200A service change.
Aluminum branch-circuit wiring from the 1960s–70s is a known fire-risk concern when connections were not installed with compatible devices. Options include full copper rewire or listed remediation (CO/ALR devices, pigtailing with approved connectors) per manufacturer and CEC/NEC rules. We inspect terminations and recommend the safer path for your home.
