Chris
this is a very good and helpful
pic!
90% chance its knob and tube wiring
I can not see small
details, but think this particular problem could be fixed in 1 or 2 hrs
if bare wire(s) go above the box, than more than 2 hr
and I must
tell you that this exact problem could be present in other light boxes and in many other
locations, representing a much higher risk of a short and fire
My partner or I will discuss risks and options with you if you
wish
We will call you Sat or Sun and tell the time for Mon
Thank you. Sam.

Hi Sam,
Attached are some photos, but I don't know
how helpful they will be. There are a lot of cloth wires in the box covered in
electrical tape. Let me know what you think and if you will be able to come on
Monday to take a look.
Thank
you,
Chris

Hi Sam,
I need to have the wiring for a light box
fixed. When I attempted to change a light fixture in a bedroom, I noticed the
cloth covering on the wire had come off exposing the bare conductor. I'm not
sure if the entire wiring to the light box needs replaced or if there is an
easier fix.
Can you please confirm if you are available on Monday August
15 to take a look? If so, please let me know what time you will arrive.
Thank you,
Chris

Chris,
Thank you.
some old thermostats and their wiring are not compatible with the modern ones and require running a new
wire and work of the HVAC technician. If that is your case we won't be able to
help with Installation of the thermostat but can run a new wire
The
rest should be straightforward
Could you please send a good pic of your
panel?
A minimum service call fee is $160, it includes 1st hr or less of
work for very short jobs + $65 per hr after the 1st hr (Mon to Fri. 8 am to 7
pm). You'll pay exactly as much as it takes
You'll pay extra for
materials used
Time is counted from the moment of electrician's arrival
to the moment of payment. So pls have more than enough cash or certified cheque
on hand to avoid expensive delays. If you needed to go to the bank, the job
would take more time of my time and more of your
money
