It takes professional experience, patience and understanding of historical construction to retrofit a historical home with modern convenience, efficiency and artfulness while preserving the ambience of yesteryear. Modern Electric can plan and configure your electrical distribution and lighting plan and install it with minimal architectural intervention.
Electrical technology advances every day as Modern Electric‘s reputation for Old World Craftsmanship carries forward. The challenge remains adaptation of modern fixtures to legacy architecture. From functional stucco and timber to colonial, and from elegant Victorian to arts and crafts, each historic architecture has its own peculiar personality, both within and behind the walls.
Preservation societies can place what seem to be insurmountable restrictions upon the renovations of a grand old historic residence. New fixtures can mean snaking of ceilings, drilling of vintage paneling and restoration of walls with original plaster recipes.
In earlier years, demand for electicity was much lower, and many older homes were installed with very few electrical outlets, no provisions for multiple telephones, and no Internet wiring at all. Over the years, electrical and communications add-ons can cause a lot of clutter and expense.
Today, Modern Electric can expand, consolidate and integrate your electrical and communications circuitry to add capacity, while at the same time restoring your historic home to its original state by installing push-button switches, restoring existing fixtures, and eliminating excessive wiring.
