New Outlet Installation in Columbus, OH
The brick Italianate houses of German Village and Victorian Village, and the early-1900s homes of Clintonville, were built with very few receptacles, and solid masonry walls make adding them slower than in frame houses. Electricians usually feed new outlets from the basement or attic, or along interior walls, and use surface raceway where a brick wall cannot be opened.
Older homes often have small services, ungrounded outlets and leftover knob-and-tube, and renovations commonly uncover them. Basements hold panels, sump pumps and laundry, so moisture and flooding affect electrical planning.
