San Antonio Lightning Protection System Installation

We recently found out that contacts for 6 windows were not operating. In 1 window, the contact wires were twisted together. So while it appeared on the panel the system was operational, we were not fully protected. The panel box wiring was in absolute shambles. We were unaware until we went to change services. The first company (Smith Thompson Home Security) reviewed the system and refused to work on it. We hired a second company, Medina Valley Security who did agree to work on it.

Bonded was easy to work with, providing a quick free estimate and multi-day/multi-step install of a lightning protection system on my home. They showed up early, worked the entire time they were there, and were great about communicating. Price was not the cheapest, but overall best value.

I couldn't be more impressed with Mr. Hamilton and his team. Hamilton Lightning Rods stood head and shoulders above all the other tradespeople who worked on our home. Prompt, courteous and exceptionally professional! When we discovered one of our grounding rods had been damaged during grading, Mr. Hamilton set up a time to come out and repair the damage. He showed up as promised and quickly repaired the broken cable. Contractors with his level of professionalism are few and far between. Absolutely recommended!

My house was struck by Lightning and power was not coming up in several rooms. It was determined that ARC fault breakers and a GFCI receptacle were to blame. They replaced the faulty components and check out the rest of my electrical system. Will use again.

When my house was hit by lightning; he, came running. He always calls before showing up. He is the only one I trust to put wires into my house; because, we are correcting a bunch of junk from previous people.

Ronny was right on time and got right down to diagnosing the problem. A lightning strike recently destroyed the power company's pole-mounted transformer and caused damage to our home security alarm, cable box and GFCI receptacle. He diagnosed the problem and quickly fixed it. He was very friendly and professional. I will hire Good Electric the next time we need electric work done.

VERY PROFESSIONAL TECHNOLOGIST. EXPLAINED THE DAMAGE THAT HAPPENED IN FULL AND PROCEEDED TO INSTALL THE NEW SYSTEM IN A TIMELY MANNER. HE WAS PROMPT AND COURTEOUS. HE ALSO TOOK THE TIME TO EXPLAIN THE NEW SYSTEM FUNCTIONS TO THE FAMILY REASSURING THEM OF THE HIGHER SAFETY FEATURES THE NEW EQUIPMENT PROVIDED.

The installation looks amazing and he even went to the supplier to get an LED dimmer for me when I told him what types of bulbs I w as going to use. I am definitely going to use them again. Great job

One surge protector was not enough for my house. The contractor had to come back after consulting with the master electrician on where and how to install the surge protectors. It took severL tries at scheduling the electrician back out but when he arrived he did a great job. So far there have been no damaging electrical surges. A total of three whole home surge protectors were installed at the breaker boxes of my house.

Allgood was prompt to perform the work (a few minutes early, actually). Everything went smoothly. Ray and his co-worker fixed several incorrectly connected wires under our house and put them in junction boxes. They also replaced an old breaker in our exterior panel and grounded the panel to our gas line, as well as two large poles driven deep into the soil. Lastly, they installed a lightning strike surge protector. They also gave estimates for other projects which were not deemed necessary at the time but had been noted by the house inspector. Ray gave me a lot of really useful, honest advice. We are selling our old house and, thanks to Allgood Electric, I feel confident our electrical system is in great shape.

Although the electrician showed up on time and was very professional, the cost was much more than I had anticipated and thus I did not use the service.

Allgood has done electrical work for us three times now, and we've never been less than completely satisfied. They're always courteous, professional, friendly, and competent. They're always on time, and finish work at or below estimate. They explain what they're doing as they do it, and you can tell from their enthusiasm that they truly enjoy their work. On this occasion, my A/C went out just as they were leaving. We didn't know it at the time, but the lightning strike had fried the electronics in the thermostat. Chris, the electrician on this visit, promptly volunteered to diagnose the electrical portion of the A/C system at no extra charge--and without me even having to ask. It's truly refreshing to have a skilled trade come to your house, do exactly what you ask, and make the upgrade/installation look like it's always been there. As long as they continue to perform at this exceptional level, I will NEVER hire anybody but Allgood to work on my electrical system.

MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN TRAUMATIC AND FRUSTRATING. TO THIS DAY, THE WORK IS INCOMPLETE. GUARANTEED WORK HAS BEEN IGNORED BECAUSE THE GERLOFF COMPANY SAYS THEY WERE SHORT A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS. MY INSURANCE COMPANY THEREFORE SAYS THE OPPOSITE (MEANING THEY PAID THEM IN FULL).

Everything went terrific !! About as good as I thought it could get. They even mailed me some extra yard signs for remote portions of our property. It was like one day service on the extra sighns

So far, everything is working great. The technician (Kevin) called 30 minutes before he showed up and well within the time window. Punctuality and communication - A+ Once he arrived, he quickly evaluated my system and determined that I needed a new panel. Once he got started, he worked at lightning speed and was done within 30 minutes. He cleaned everything up like he was never there. The system works as before but now I have communication with my smart phone so I can arm/disarm the alarm. I also get notified when the alarm is tripped. We then sat down at my dinner table and filled out the necessary paperwork. Be advised that you must have a valid permit from the city to have a monitored system. I already had one but the paperwork you sign does state that you need to get a permit or face fines. Kevin walked me through some of the features of the new system. He then asked me if I wanted to pay quarterly or yearly. As an Angie's list member, we get 2 months of free monitoring so I took the yearly subscription. Cost for the year with smart phone capability and equipment came out to be $320. Overall great service at a great price and would recommend to anyone. My only real complaint is that Kevin seemed very rushed because he had a lot of calls that day that were spread out all over the city. The folks at Smith Thompson might want to consider scheduling their folks a little better. Kevin seemed very distant and hurried. One thing I would like to see is a few more features on the smart phone app. Finger print sensor for the iPhone would be nice (instead of having to enter the password each time) and better control over where the notifications go (instead of having to use the computer to select those features). Great job and looking forward to a long relationship with this company. Great prices and great features!
