Holmes On Homes Behind The Scenes | Knob and Tube Wiring | Mike Holmes Podcast

On every job, we come across electrical issues that homeowners didn’t even know existed—and it’s a fire waiting to happen. In this Holmes On Homes Behind The Scenes 4-part series, I’m joined by Trevor Tremblay from the Electrical Safety Authority as we dig into some seriously dangerous electrical work found in a home in Ontario. From faulty wiring to unsafe DIY fixes, we’re shedding light on the risks that could be hiding in your home.

In the first episode, we’re focusing on Knob and Tube Wiring—an outdated and hazardous system that’s still found in many older homes. It’s not just about the inconvenience; it’s about the very real danger it poses, from potential electric fires to deadly shocks, which is why it’s so critical to identify it and get it replaced by a Licensed Electrical Contractor. If you’ve got an older home, this episode is a must-listen.
