Was your home built before 1950? Are you planning to update your electrical system? This guide book will take you through the entire process including:

• What is BX wiring? How can i identify it?
• What are the issues with BX wiring and why should i replace it?
• What are the steps to replacing it?
• How invasive of a process is it?
• How do electricians estimate this kind of work? How do i pick out the right electrician for me?
• What to expect with contracts and billing.

This guide is a second in a series which address older wiring in homes. As a Master Electrician and owner of Kuhlman Electrical Services in Massachusetts, Jesse Kuhlman sees far too many customers who have no idea about how having their electrical system updated should work, and can be completely mislead by electricians who don’t have their best interests in mind. After hearing from far too many homeowners that “The last electrician said i will have to gut some walls to run the new wiring” Kuhlman knew something needed to be done! The result is this series

Kuhlman’s goal with these guides, as with all aspects of his business, is EDUCATION of the customer first and foremost. If you are educated to the process (from estimate to install to final billing) think about what a great advantage that will give you while getting estimates / meeting with electrical contractors. And honestly, it should help the electrical contractor meeting you as well! After reading this guide, you will be able to distinguish the difference between the legit electricians who do this work all the time and the ones who don’t.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Many of the processes of the new wiring installation, materials used, contracts, billing, estimating are the same, it doesn’t matter which kind of old wiring you have. If you have purchased “A Homeowner’s Guide to Knob and Tube Wiring Replacement”, the information about new wiring installation, materials used, contracts, billing, estimating in “A Homeowner’s Guide to BX Wiring Replacement” is the same.
