Old plaster walls and worried what adding extra outlets might entail in holes and Labor costs? Though pulling ("fishing") wire through walls is usually the first choice for electricians and homeowners when circuitry must be brought to place of needed and desired locations, above-baseboard moulding is a good Plan B. In fact, a great option when accessibility issues within old walls themselves just present too many obstacles horizontal and otherwise. (Financial as well!)

VMO has installed moulding in such cases on upper floors, for example, in some of the fanciest homes in old grand neighborhoods of the North Side like Allegheny West. Despite initial reservation, all customers have been extremely pleased with the results.

The circuit comes out of the hole where a junction box for existing outlet already sits in the wall. Its safe, to code, and the final look is clean and polished and can be painted any color beyond original ivory.

Autumn is the time to be sure all your outdoor electrics are working and protected from the elements. We get many calls about outdoor outlets not working anymore, and the culprit is usually just the fact that the elements got to them over time. New installations should definitely include covers; pix shows one that a homeowner provided, otherwise VMO picks up the best to do the job as well as fit in aesthetically with your home's exterior. And of course... these are GFCI outlets per code (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, designed to prevent shock from overload). The little green light shows proper functioning, so no need anymore to plug a power tool into old socket and be surprised with no potency!

We recently were called to rewire, wherever necessary, for a kitchen remodel. As we often find, a lot of the outlets, switches and light fixtures had good modern romex superficially behind plates or a little further into the wall. But when we trace the circuitry further in or below floors, we find feeder wires from the basement and other branch circuitry that is old cloth/rag wire, k**b and tube, or even old aluminum.

Some wires are easily identifiable as in need of a replacement though, such as the stove circuit pictured below. When you pull out appliances from the wall and encounter any circuits whose insulation is frayed, or the like, that should always be top priority in thinking about getting some electric updates to your home.
