Avoid the fire hazard - get your cloth wires replaced!

Cloth wires are a type of wiring that is made of cloth. They are often used in homes in Florida because they are cheaper than traditional metal wiring.

Unfortunately, they are also more likely to cause fires. 🔥🔥🔥

According to the United States Fire Administration (USFA), "cloth-sheathed 'knob and tube wiring is very hazardous." This type of wiring is banned in most areas of the world today because it can be a fire hazard.

The cloth insulation on the knob and tube wiring can dry out, crack, and let electricity leak into the home that it serves. Although some fire codes had called for electricians to replace this wire, others simply required some safety procedures like turning off the power before inspecting the wiring which may have limited some of the fires.

Simply, there's better alternatives to Cloth Wire.

Cloth wire is not a good conductor of electricity because it has air in its fibers. The space between the fibers and cloth allows electricity to flow through the air instead of the cloth, so there isn't much electricity going through the wires as a result.

Electrical wire is made of metal, which conducts electricity really well. There are different kinds of metals that conduct electricity differently. Copper is the best at conducting electricity. Aluminum and silver are pretty good too. Steel isn't very good at it though. Plastic is not a conductor either, but it's better than cloth.

Wires that are made of cloth can become brittle and break from excessive use. The wire becomes weak, and then it breaks. This happens when the wire is used for a long time.
