Is your house showing any
of these symptoms?
• Your TV picture shrinks when the dryer starts.
• Your wiring can’t handle any more new appliances, like the air conditioner
you’ve been saving for.
• Fuses keep popping.
• Your house is plagued with extension cords and too many plugs with too
few outlets.
If so, your house may be showing its electrical age. Older homes with
only 60 or even 100 amp service simply won’t handle all the modem elec
trical appliances that have become part of our family living.
And these symptoms are not only inconvenient, they’re downright
unsafe.
Modernize your home. Upgrade your electrical system and wiring... and
enjoy a comfortable and safe electrical future.
