We’re going to have our 200+ house rewired this summer (it has all knob and tube wiring running through it). Is there something the electricians should do to prevent such a situation? I’m a “better safe than sorry” gal!

You need do nothing. The Carrington event generated about 20 volts per km of wiring. That means in your house it would generate about 0.2 V which is less fluctuation than the grid produces normally. So there is nothing to do for natural solar flares, or even most manmade nuclear EMP.

Knob and Tube? Years ago while house hunting we ran into a few. My wife an I had a "signal" for "just no." Know and Tube were one reason.
I'm still looking for the supplier contact. Ugh. In the piles of files I have. The device is more of a DC shunt that switches the entire house to a separate ground. This isolates the wiring from the grid and is suppose to be resistant to E1 and E2 too. I'll keep looking. No promises.

Found the link I was looking for (finally met with contractors for underground to barn).
