I don't know how it's done in the lakes region but in Mass, with such a major undertaking, they would make you bring it up to code. If you're adding a larger service and you don't upgrade the wiring then it's a dangerous fire hazard. If the house has knob and tube wiring then it's got to go no matter what. It's a matter of safety and I would think if the owner is spending that kind of money they would want it to be safe. I know I would!
