⚠️ Does Your Home Still Have Cloth Wiring? ⚠️
If your house was built before the 1960s, it could still have cloth-insulated wiring — and that’s something you don’t want to ignore.
🧵 What is cloth wiring?
It’s exactly what it sounds like — electrical wires insulated with fabric instead of modern plastic. Over time, that cloth can dry out, become brittle, or even fall apart, leaving your wires exposed.
💥 Why it’s a problem:
• 🔥 Increased fire risk
• ⚡ Greater chance of shorts or shocks
• 🚫 Often not up to code (especially for insurance)
🛠️ At King Electric & Construction, we’ve replaced cloth wiring in homes across the Florida Panhandle to bring them up to current safety standards — and give homeowners real peace of mind.
If you’re not sure what’s behind your walls, it might be time for an inspection.
