Working carefully in historic homes
Historic homes deserve electrical work that's both safe and respectful — routing new wiring through attics, crawl spaces and existing cavities, and choosing fixtures and devices that suit the home. Any visible exterior work may also be subject to local historic review, so check with the town before changes to the exterior.
Old wiring such as knob-and-tube should be evaluated, especially if insulation has been added around it.
Everyday repairs for surrounding neighborhoods
Outside the historic core, homeowners call for the usual needs: tripping breakers, dead outlets, ceiling fans and lighting upgrades.
Lighting that suits an older home
Modern LED fixtures and dimmers can be chosen to suit older interiors — warm color temperatures, period-appropriate shapes and discreet recessed or accent lighting where it won't disturb original ceilings. See indoor lighting.
