Fybe and Spectrum are updating services in the area with homes still being connected. We have observed fiber/cable lines drilled through foundations and floors during other visits for our electrical services.

We would like to offer homeowners in the area a professionally installed, pre-run system for internet services. This includes conduit under homes as needed, with a pull wire, and low voltage wall boxes and cable pass through wall plates. We locate the wall closest to the desired modem/router location from under the home and drill up inside the wall to conceal it from view. Doing this allows for a neatly run cable and eliminates a hole drilled directly through the floor of your home.

If you are interested or have any questions give us a call!

Special thanks to Gates Auto Repair for giving us a call to upgrade their shop lighting. Retrofitted the old fluorescent lights to use brighter and more efficient LED bulbs without the need of replacing the whole fixture. This also eliminates the replacement of a ballast in the future.
