"The services were fine until time to pay. We called them 3 times in about a 10 day span. We had used their services before and they had been great and priced well. This time, my elderly father and I needed a fan put up, a bedroom overhead light changed out and some outlets and light switches replaced. Each time we called, they came out right away and did a great job. The person who did the work was very professional and seemed to know exactly what he was doing. But each time it was time to pay for the services, the sticker shock was unbelievable. Those 3 visits cost us over $2,200. For all 3 service calls combined, they could not have been here more than 2 hours combined. We truly feel that we were totally taken advantage of. I have done a lot of research since their last visit and no other electric company in the area charges anywhere near what they charged us for that little bit of work. We will never call them again and buyer beware. Make sure you get their pricing in advance, which was our mistake. They owe us a big apology and a refund."

"WB Lightning Rods did an excellent job installing lightening rods on our home. The owner stayed onsite the entire time to supervise the work. He took extra care to plan the rod and cable placement to ensure the proper protection and retain the aesthetics of our home. His crew were knowledgeable, polite, neat and efficient. We could not be more pleased with the results."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The National Electric Code states that outlets should not be spaced more than 12 feet apart, and there should be an outlet placed every 6 feet at the floor line in areas designated as living spaces. Most homes in the United States have 75 outlets, but it will depend on the amount you need based on your home's size and your needs.

The NEC prohibits the installation of electrical panels within clothing closets. Closets are filled with flammable items like clothing, mothballs, shoe polish, plastic containers, and exposed light bulbs. If the panel develops a small electrical fire, it won’t take long to bloom into a real disaster. If you have an electrical panel in one of your home’s closets, move it as soon as possible with the help of a professional electrician.

The average lifespan of a home electrical system is anywhere from 30 to 70 years or more, depending on the type of system you have. Modern electrical wiring, like aluminum or copper, can last 50 to 70 years while older types may need to be replaced sooner. Additionally, circuit breakers tend to last anywhere from 30 to 40 years, while electrical outlets need to be replaced every 10 to 25 years. 

Before the widespread use of PVC, affixing a ground wire to plumbing pipes was generally considered to be an acceptable workaround. Nowadays, not so much. There are plenty of nonmetallic water pipes and fittings out there, so any ground previously provided by the metallic piping would be interrupted in these cases, which is dangerous.

It’s recommended that you test GFCI outlets monthly with the test and reset buttons. At minimum, you should test GFCI outlets when entering a new season, or every three months. These are important home safety features that you should ensure work properly.
