"Updated bathroom electrical during remodeling. They came the day after I called them for an estimate for 1 hour of work and completed it immediately. Also gave me an estimate for a household generator. I would hire them again."

"We purchased an older home and the living room was without a ceiling fan. I also noticed some other electrical issues that weren't right so ultimately I hired Dwayne to remedy a number of issues. I took Dwayne around the property and we discussed what needed to be done. Project included a ceiling fan in the living room, an exhaust fan in the bathroom, reducing the load on circuit breakers to name a few. I also wanted an electrical panel in the garage for a 220 hookup. Dwayne discussed it all and made recommendations. Later that day he provided an estimate. I thought it seemed reasonable but had nothing to compare it to. Ultimately I feel I got my money's worth. Dwayne is a big guy and he had to go up in the attic to run wiring for the fans. My attic has blown in insulation and a very low roof line. He had very little room to maneuver and had to lay on his belly with his nose inches above the insulation, but he got to work done in record time. Everything went smoothly until the garage. Nothing about the garage wiring was correct. In the end Dwayne hat to run new wiring under concrete to get power to the garage which was fraught with complications and took a day and a half longer than anticipated. My bill remained the same as his estimated which is why I decided a got my money's worth. The only extra was a ice cold beer which he highly deserved. I would not hesitate to recommend Dwayne Olney to anyone wanting any type of electical done."

"They did fine. They could be better. When they came out, they didn't bring the Rock box so it caused another service fee and the guy that was here was supposed to take care of that. I think he called them to take it off but they didn't. So its still billing and its all screwed up. They went up more than they said they'd go up. They had to come out twice."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

The best solar-panel mounting system will depend on your property layout, but you’ll typically want to try for south-facing panels to get the most sun. Roof mounting and wall mounting are both popular, but if your well setup is far away from buildings and other structures you can also set up a freestanding aluminum frame to mount your panels.

Insurance companies aren’t against solar panels, but they may have concerns about the risks and costs of insuring solar. The type of policy, where you live, and the insurance company itself matter. Extreme weather can damage solar panels, and faulty installation or electrical malfunctions pose a fire risk—this, in turn, can increase insurance company liability and payouts. However, you’re likely to keep coverage as long as you have a pro install the solar system, keep it maintained, can pass a solar panel inspection, and update your homeowners policy to include solar.

While you can install solar panels by yourself, it can be a complicated process full of lots of manual labor, risky roof work, and knowledge of electrical wiring. Most solar panel installation projects should be reserved for a trained professional—especially if you plan on connecting your panels to the electrical grid rather than for off-grid use, which doesn’t require utility services.

You shouldn’t hook up a solar panel directly to a battery. That can damage the solar battery and your appliances over time. Instead, install a charge controller between your solar panel and solar battery. Charge controllers regulate voltage, prevent overcharging, and minimize the amount of electrical current to protect your battery from voltage spikes.

You can install solar panels on a metal roof, but it will require some additional thought and care versus a traditional asphalt shingle roof. That’s because heat dissipates off a metal roof differently than asphalt or wood, so you may need to space the panels further from the roof. However, a pro can help you with the details and provide a safe and effective installation.
