Renovate for safety, comfort & energy efficiency

A major home renovation or addition gives you the opportunity to incorporate energy efficiency features right from the beginning. You can make your home more attractive and comfortable, and also get the best value for your energy dollar.

Of course any time you modify your home's wiring, you're required to have an electrical inspection to ensure that the work meets the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. Wiring is not the place to take short cuts. For your own safety and that of your family and friends, have your wiring done by a licensed electrician and inspected by an Inspector from the Electrical Safety Authority.

Even if your project is not exactly one of the above, you'll probably find some useful ideas that you can apply.
