You can, but it pays to get a licensed electrician to check your existing wiring as older cables have a poorer insulation that may have degraded further over time. This type of wiring has a real risk of overheating and causing a house fire.
Your house will probably be your biggest investment, better to be safe than sorry for the sake of a $75 call out; have somebody inspect for you.

Why are electrical cords insulated?
Electrical cords are insulated to prevent the electricity from going from one wire to the other wire without first going through the lightbulb or electrical device. Electricity is lazy. It would rather jump from the hot wire to the neutral wire and go back to the power plant without doing any work than have to go through the light bulb and do some work. You would still have to pay the electric bill.
Does algae have a electrical charge?
Algae can develop an electric charge due to ion movements across its cell membrane. This phenomenon is commonly seen in algae species that exhibit biophotovoltaic processes, where they can generate electrical currents from photosynthesis.
What is the role of the myelin in a neuron?
A neuron is analogous to an electric wire. If you look at an electric wire going from a lamp to a wall plug, you do not see the actual wire. Instead, you see the insulation. If you would scrape off the insulation, you would see two wires. If those two wires touched you would hear a loud pop. Then a circuit breaker would throw. The wire would be just as good as it was before you removed the insulation. The wire carried the electricity. The insulation protected the wire and let it do its job. Without the insulation, the bulb would not work. The Myelin sheath protects the nerve from outside forces. It lets it carry its signal free from outside influence. It is a piece of insulation.
Why do rabbits eat electrical wire insulation?
Rabbits have a natural need to chew and they will chew on anything they can find. I suggest that you provide many toys (Toilet paper rolls, the yellow pages, etc.) for them to chew on instead.
Identify health and safety factors related to electrical voltages?
Would be to make sure that cables aren't damaged and that your not going to get an electric shock off of it, also to make sure that the correct fuse is being used in the plugs or that the plug sockets are not being overloaded with to many plugs.
Can going through a deep puddle cause a Cylinder misfire?
YES, If the insulation on the plug wires is degraded enough (old) ,water from splashing can act as a electrical conductor and ,if effect, short out the ignition on the affected cylinders.
Is there a electrical relay switch that controls the ac from going through defroster?
no it is manual
How do insulators keep you safe?
insulators or insulation does not permit electricity to flow through you.
Why are electrical cords insulated?
Electrical cords are insulated to prevent the electricity from going from one wire to the other wire without first going through the lightbulb or electrical device. Electricity is lazy. It would rather jump from the hot wire to the neutral wire and go back to the power plant without doing any work than have to go through the light bulb and do some work. You would still have to pay the electric bill.
Why are insulators important for electricity?
Insulators are important because they stop electicity from going through the spot where the insulator is.
What are the conductor and the insulation?
In the application of electrical wiring:the conductor (e.g. copper) carries the electricity where it is neededthe insulator (e.g. PVC) around the conductor keeps the electricity from going where it is not neededThere are many many other applications, this is just one.
When did insulation paper on sockets become out dated?
The last I remember seeing cardboard lamp socket shell insulation was the late 50's or early 60"s. Going on the internet it looks like they can still be bought today for special applications. Once PVC became prevalent as an insulator in the electrical trade, the cardboard insulators were phased out.
What are heart rhythm abnormalities?
It's when the electrical charge is not going through the heart correctly causing the valves to not open and close in sync.
What is a picture of a car with a spanner going through it on an opel zafria?
the car with a spanner is an electrical fault warning light ( keeps flashing if there is a problem)
Does algae have a electrical charge?
Algae can develop an electric charge due to ion movements across its cell membrane. This phenomenon is commonly seen in algae species that exhibit biophotovoltaic processes, where they can generate electrical currents from photosynthesis.
What are the disadvantages of cavity wall insulation?
1st answer is that scaffholdings are going to have to be installed and taken off which is going to take some time
How do I replace my wall insulation?
When you replace wall insulation, you are first going to have to tear down the entire walls. You will have to place a layer of foam and fiber to keep the wall warm.
