Hello all,

I was interested in re-wiring the tenant floor of my 2-unit Brownstone. A few questions:

1) A few electricians suggested adding a separate circuit breaker in the top floor tenant apartment. Seems reasonable but is this standard/normal/necessary?
2) Is there any way to preserve tin ceilings during rewiring (tenant apt. is top floor…tin ceilings are on garden and parlor floors)
3) Tenant floor has NO lighting fixtures in the living room and bed room. Does anyone have suggestions of fixtures that would be fitting to a house of this era? 1890′s brownstone.
4) Any licensed electricians worth recommending?

Thanks to any and all
