Waterheaters Nothing is more costly than cheap, inadequate wiring. Too many homes have been wired without due regard for the many uses of electricity. Twenty-five to 30 years ago, wiring for a home meant wiring for a sin gle light in some of the rooms. Howiver, soon after these lights were in stalled, new uses for electricity were found. New device^ and appliances were brought into the home. Wiring which seemed adequate and satis factory at the time it had been installed became hopelessly inadequate within a few short years. The modern home, with its countless uses of electricity, needs modern wiring. The great number of lights and appliances makes it necessary to plan the wiring system for the home so that all appliances can be used con veniently and economically. Todays homes, using only an average number of appliances, have higher power requirements than the small factory of 20 years ago. To make this home industry work at top efficiency, you need good wiring which is planned to good engineering standards and employs the best and most suitable materials.
