After more than five months, we finally have power.
When we bought our house, the majority of the wiring was knob and tube. Removing the old wiring was one of our first priorities.
We hired electricians to completely rewire the house. During the rough-in phase, we were left with only two electrical outlets (and no lights!) We got by with extension cords, floodlights and flashlights. But, this got more and more difficult to handle as the days started to get shorter.
So, as you can imagine, it was pretty exciting when we reached the point where we were ready for the electrical work to be completed.
Now we have electrical outlets and lights in every room, including:
- pot lights in the living room, dining room, main floor hallway, kitchen and basement
- an exterior pot light above the front door
- a sensor light in near the rear of the house
- bare bulbs everywhere else (until we get a chance to select the rest of our light fixtures).
We used DSK Electric Inc. dskelectric@rogers.com. They did a great job and we are really happy with the work.

let there be light! Someone had to say it!
Yay! We also had to upgrade from fuses when we bought our place. And all of the bedrooms have a light switch that does nothing because they removed all the overhead lights. We still flick 'on' the switches over a year later! duh.
Congrats! I can remember how great it was to get power back. We bought all but 3-4 of our lights at Union Lighting (Castlefield/Caledonia) ... I'd highly recommend them for their selection.
Yay! Now you can do renos well into the night :o\ I second Union Lighting.
