WB Lightning Rods is a third-generation lightning protection contractor. Family Owned and operated for over 60 years. installing U.L.

We look forward to working with you on your Lightning Protection Project. Thank you. **WE ARE NOT ELECTRICIANS** **WE ONLY INSTALL LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEMS **

"I recently had a lightning rod system installed on my home by WB Lightning Rods. In contrast with other contacts made for this installation, WB Lightning Rods responded in a timely and informative manner. My contact was with William Burden, Owner & CEO. I found Mr. Burden to be knowledgeable and articulate. Although prepared to ask a series of materials and installation procedure questions based on researching residential lightning rod systems, Mr. Burdenâ s description of both was thorough to the point that all my questions were answered without asking a single one. I found Mr. Burden to be ethical. He expressed concern over the long-term viability of an aluminum system in my coastal location. He rescheduled my installation when inclement weather was forecast rather than risk the safety of his staff and the quality of the installation. He was willing to perform the installation on a Sunday when the forecast called for more inclement weather early the next week. Mr. Burden and his staff arrived promptly at the agreed upon time. Affable, pleasant, and courteous they undertook the installation with a notably positive attitude. Mr. Burden was present the entire installation ensuring consistency with the specifications of our contract. The installation was completed in two and half hours. In conclusion, I found WB Lightning Rods to be expert, honorable, professional, and quality driven. When Mr. Burden requested my approval to post a small WB Lightning Rods sign in my yard at the completion of the installation, I replied that he could rely on it to be a permanent fixture. I have never had a better home improvement experience. . ."

Electrical services FAQs

It’s important to ask an electrician a few questions before you commit to hiring them so you can make an informed decision as a consumer. If you’re getting estimates or considering hiring an electrician, ask them these questions:

  • Are you a full-time electrician?

  • Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?

  • What level of experience do you have as an electrician?

  • Can you please share three references?

  • Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?

  • What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?

  • Will any subcontractors be performing the work?

  • Are permits and inspections required?

  • Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?

  • What is your schedule?

  • Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?

Tipping an electrician is not a requirement nor is it expected, as they build a fair wage into the price of the job. It’s up to your discretion. There are no set rules for tipping electricians, but if they did a great job and you’re so inclined to tip 10% to 15%, it will likely be received with thanks.

Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate. 

Yes, although there are different types of electricians, they must be licensed, certified, and in most cases insured. States have different requirements for electrician licensing and certifications. In some cases, there may be licensing requirements at the local level, but not the state level. It’s always a good practice to confirm requirements with your local municipality. If licensing is not required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed electrician with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Certified” badge. Angi Certified businesses meet our standards for certification, which include:

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
