Lighting and Fans

• Landscape Lighting
  Metal Halide (MH) – Typically used for outdoor lighting, comparable usage and lifespan to fluorescent. Bluish tinge. Recommended for outdoor areas where security camera viewing at night is important.
• Ceiling Fan Installation
• Recessed Lighting
  “We have an old two-story cape, ca 1849. JP McCurdy did a whole-house electrical overhaul: remove knob-and-tube wiring and rewire all circuits; replace fuses with circuit breakers; rewire ceiling fixtures; wire for (and will ultimately install) recessed lighting in the kitchen, two wall sconces, two closet lights, and cellar lighting; re-wire the washer-dryer outlets; add new switches and outlets; wire for smoke alarms and a kitchen range hood, and add an exterior outlet, and other things I’m sure I’ve forgotten.
• Security Lighting
  Security lighting is a great way to protect your home from intruders, yet when they are not  working properly they can be a real headache! Malfunctioning security lights may stay on longer than they should, and not turn on when they should turn on, or face a number of other issues that stop them from working properly. Below is a list of the most common security lighting issues we’ve encountered.
• Exhaust Fan Installation
• Attic Fan Installation
• Light Fixture Installation

General

• Surge Protection
  Once the surge protector is in place and connected to your load center, telephone service or cable service, it will redirect surges to the ground and dissipate the energy. The surge protection selected must be UL rated on response time. A point to remember is that the greater the surge current rating, the longer the surge protector will last.

Safety and Security

• Smoke Detectors
  Technology is such today that you can place cameras anywhere, even wirelessly, and they can even be disguised as everyday items. For instance, you can have cameras disguised as a smoke detector, wall clock, speakers, pictures, even a water bottle!
• Motion Sensors
  Motion sensor lights are intended to come on when they detect movement and shut off after a few minutes when movement stops. In some cases, motion stops and the lights stay on, generally as a result of a spike in current.
• Fire Alarm Systems
  Even though it might seem daunting, this is certainly not something to be looked at negatively.  Plus, it’s actually quite important.  Here are a few top reasons and benefits to have your Fire Alarm system inspected and tested now, and continue to do so each year...
