- Potlights, we offer various designs for potlights. A very popular system has a “square within a square”. We install for example 4 potlights in a square around the perimeter of a room and an additional 4 in a square in the center of the room on separate switching. This gives the beauty of potlights without the expense of having all the lights burning at once. You can have the outer set providing general lighting for just relaxing, watching television etc. or if you have company you can turn on all the lights. Add dimmers to this and you have total control of the lighting in that area.
- Potlights to existing ceilings does not have to mean a big mess and damage to the ceiling to pull new wires. We can install the potlights by installing the wires around the perimeter of the room and installing crown molding to cover the wires

Knob and Tube Wiring
Knob and tube wiring was used in older homes and is still in use in a lot of homes. It is recognizable by the two individual wires running along the joist spaces supported on porcelain “knobs” and going through wood in a porcelain “tube” hence the name knob and tube.
Insurance companies are very hesitant to cover homes with knob and tube wiring because of the fact that there is no ground in this type of system and because the wires are in many cases (NOT ALL) in bad shape due to overloading or other damage. In fact most insurance companies will not insure homes having knob and tube wiring. They will normally give the homeowner a certain time frame to re-wire the home in order to obtain insurance.
Re-wiring homes with knob and tube is a relatively expensive job but what most people do not realize is that the job becomes so expensive because a lot of contractors literally destroy the walls to pull in new wiring. There is no doubt that some damage will occur to the walls and ceilings. It would be impossible to do without some damage but we can do this job with a minimum of damage saving the homeowner a lot of money and mess on the repair work to patch the holes.
