"It's the 'man about the wiring, ma'am.
It's true, living in any older home without up-to-date wiring just doesn't hold
a candle to truly modern electrical living.
The changes that electrical modernization brings will brighten your life
throughout every room in your home — for years to come. You'll have more
outlets and switches where you want them, better performance from your
appliances — and, you can even add the year-round comfort of electric
climate control.
And rewiring an older home needn't be complicated
or expensive. in fact, the cost will probably be less
than you imagine. Fr
wp For greater comfort and convenience --and
-w an extra margin of safety, too — call your
