Updating a Victorian house

A house more than a century old has often seen several generations of wiring. We identify what is still original, what was added and what must be replaced first, then run the new circuits without damaging the woodwork or ceilings. Interconnected smoke alarms are added during the work.

Downtown businesses

For a business in an older building, we plan the lighting, equipment circuits and panel for the use, and do shutoffs outside business hours when possible.

6 min readFuse panel: should you replace it, and why your insurer asksA fuse panel in good condition and used properly isn’t dangerous in itself. But it often lacks capacity and room, it doesn’t accept modern protection, and several insurers ask for it to be replaced. Here is how to recognize one, what to do when a fuse blows, what the insurer expects and how the replacement goes.Read the guide 5 min readAluminum wiring in a 1960s-1970s house: what to do, and what your insurer asksFrom the mid-1960s to the late 1970s, many houses were wired with aluminum. This wiring isn’t condemned: the risk is at the connections, which need devices and connectors marked for aluminum. Here is how to recognize it, the signs to watch for, what the Code requires and what the insurer asks.Read the guide 6 min readHard-wired, interconnected smoke alarms: what changes when you renovateWhen you renovate, you often affect the smoke alarms without knowing it: a new bedroom, a finished basement, open walls. In new work, the rules require hard-wired, interconnected alarms on every floor and near the bedrooms; when one sounds, they all sound. We build them in during rough-in.Read the guide
