Electrical Work While Doing Home Renovation Mike Holmes 2024-05-18 | If you're planning a home renovation don't forget about the electrical. If you own an older home you may have old wiring or knob and tube which should be removed and upgraded as it's a potential fire risk. Pair that with upgrades like adding a home office, better lighting, basement apartments, hot tubs, and people spending more time at home, and you will find that the risk of electrical fires and shocks has risen.Listen to the full Season 3, Episode 4 episode of the Holmes On Homes Podcast on all major streaming platforms or watch it at makeitright.ca/podcast-s3-ep4-diy-electrical #ElectricalSafetyMonth #ElectricalWork #HomeRenovations #HolmesOnHomes #Podcast
Light Up Shower Niche Installed On Holmes Project Mike Holmes 2024-05-17 | We recently installed this prefabricated light-up niche from Schluter on one of our projects and I love the look —I'm thinking of redoing my bathroom just to get this installed.

What Are Surge Protectors And Why Are They Important? Mike Holmes 2024-05-16 | A power surge is a significant increase in voltage that can last three nanoseconds or more. If the surge is high enough, it can cause some heavy damage to your home appliances. Trust me, I know. I once had a power surge and lost thousands of dollars in appliances – including a brand new TV. That hurt. That's why we install one in every single home we work on, even if we are not touching the electrical work in that house. I always recommend you PROTECT IT RIGHT and a whole home surge protector is a MUST!

Ask Mike about MiniSplit HeatPump Mike Holmes 2024-05-07 | #AskMike - Are mini-splits a heater/air conditioner in one? My upstairs has no ductwork, the central is downstairs only.We’ve recently been adding mini-split heat pumps to our projects when we are doing an addition, like a sunroom. It’s important for us to give our homeowners a healthy, COMFORTABLE home back. On one project for Holmes on Homes, we fixed a home that had a 17-degree difference in temperature between the top floor and the basement. That’s not right. A mini-split heat pump works to heat and cool a home.I’m not an HVAC professional but I spoke to the experts and here’s what you should know about how mini-splits work.#TipTuesdays #HVAC #MiniSplit #HeatPump #HeatingAndCooling #HomeRenovation
