Hello,
I have the need to drill a number of holes in a residential ceiling with
ceiling heat (house built in early 70's in Oregon).
As I obviously do not want to drill into any of the elements, I need to know
a method for locating the elements.
What about one of the little proximity testers for electricity? Turn
the thing on and see if you get a pitch change near the wire.
Nobody else asked, so I will- what do you need to drill all the holes
for? You know you can't hang anything large from the ceiling, or you
will get a cold spot underneath it? (I know, not supposed to happen,
but I hung out a lot in a house that had ceiling heat, and it was
noticeably cooler under the dining table.)
