"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."

"Upgrade by James G. (JZG Electric) James G. from JZG Electric did an outstanding job on our main panel upgrade. From the very beginning, he was prompt, professional, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to walk through the existing setup, explain the required changes in plain language, and outline exactly what to expect during the upgrade. On installation day, James worked efficiently and with clear attention to detail. His workmanship is clean, organized, and clearly reflects a deep understanding of electrical systems/code and safety standards. He coordinated the utility shut-off smoothly, kept the workspace neat, and ensured everything was brought up to code without any surprises. After the upgrade, he double-checked all circuits, labeled everything clearly, and made sure we understood the new panel layout. The difference in reliability and safety is immediately noticeable. Overall, James delivered exceptional service from start to finish. Highly recommend JZG Electric!"

"What a great experience it was working with Wes. He pre-wired an unfinished room for home theater installation and returned to install the in-wall/ceiling speakers, AV Receiver, as well as mount the TV to the wall once the room was completely finished. From the beginning to the end of the project, Wes has provided professional genuine service that you often find missing today. He is also extremely knowledgeable in his field of work and responsive to questions regarding equipment needs, or any concerns the client may have. It was a pleasure working with Wes, and I would definitely work with him for any future projects."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The copper wire used in knob and tube wiring systems can last up to 100 years. However, it’s considered a dangerous and outdated wiring method because the cloth, fabric, or rubber insulation sheathing can become brittle and fall apart. Knob and tube wiring systems should be inspected if you’re considering buying a home with this type of wiring, or if you have problems with frequently tripping breakers, a sign that you may need to replace them.

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.

A blinking, or twinkle, bulb makes Christmas lights blink. Usually, this type of bulb has a silver or red tip, making it easily distinguishable from other non-blinking bulbs. Most packages of Christmas lights come with additional blinking and non-blinking bulbs. Additional bulbs can be purchased at a hardware store or online retailer.

Yes, you must use an extension cord specifically rated for outdoor use to power outdoor lights, such as Christmas lights. Extension cords intended for indoor use lack the protective properties to withstand exposure to outdoor elements. To safely hang and power lights outside your house or in your yard, always connect them to an outdoor power source using an outdoor-rated extension cord.

Most 200-amp panels have 40 to 42 slots, which can accommodate 40-42 single-pole breakers or 20 double-pole breakers. Some panels can accept even more circuits through the use of tandem breakers. The exact number of breakers allowed is determined by the panel manufacturer's rating, which you can find on the panel itself. It is important to avoid using all breakers at the same time; as a general rule, you should not use more than 160 amps of power at once to prevent overloading your 200-amp system. For specific guidance, it's best to check your panel's rating or consult with a qualified electrician.
