Avoid An Electrical Shock. Replace That Outlet Near The Sink With A GFCI Receptacle.

Codes dictate that any outlet within 6 feet of a water source, sink, laundry tub, etc, MUST be a GFCI. GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor. These devices automatically shut down the power to a circuit instantly in case of a false ground and saves you from being electrocuted.


Add a New Outlet

Florescent lighting can quickly change the way a living area is illuminated. Florescent lighting is ideal in a workshop, garage or other areas where you need bright lights.


Adding Recessed Lighting to New Construction

If you are working in new construction or tearing out an old ceiling, you should use this type of can lights because these housings need to be installed to ceiling (or floor) joists.


Adding Recessed Lighting to Existing Home

When using can lights with existing ceilings, use the smaller can lights that will fit up through a hole in the ceiling.

Track lighting gives a modern contemporary flare to your home and allows you to direct the light to where you want it such as on a picture or wall.
