"I first asked for a quote back in February of 2024. When I received the quote I decided to wait on this project. Then we lost power for 2 days due to a storm. I then decided it was time and contacted the contractor again. He sent me an updated quote and the project was scheduled. It's now installed and I'm very happy with how it turned out. Hopefully it will be a long time before we need to use the generator because we lose our power. But we are ready when it happens. I will definitely use this company again for any electrical jobs that come up. Andrew and his crew were great."

"I was pleased with the installation of the lightning rods--communication was great and the work was done quickly. What I wasn't happy with is he quoted me a price that was less then my actual bill was BUT the price was still less then two other contractors bids."

"John Sherlock and his wife Corrine called within 1/2 hour of looking for Lightning Rod installers. He was available and was over to talk with us within one hour. He sent all his credentials and licenses and insurance coverages of his business and they came over the next morning and completed the installation extremely fast. He gave a fantastic offer, and lifetime warranty coverage and will even come over and take down system when we replace the roof and place back up at no charge! His wife even saw some plants we had not put in the garden still sitting in containers, and offered and planted them in the spaces we wanted, just to help out. Very friendly, helpful, professional, extremely knowledgeable and even suggested adding Lakeland Electrics Surge Protector protection they provide to go along with the Lightning rods. Yes would have them again on any home anytime."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

To keep Galena homes safe for families, install tamper-resistant outlets and GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements where moisture is common. Add extra outlets to reduce reliance on extension cords, which pets might chew. Upgrade old fuse boxes to modern panels and ensure proper grounding, especially in older homes. Weatherproof outdoor outlets and consider whole-home surge protection to guard against frequent Illinois storms and river-related humidity.

Helpful?

Many Galena homes feature thick stone walls, plaster finishes, and balloon framing, which can make running new wiring difficult. Limited attic or crawl space access, narrow stairways, and additions built over time may hide outdated electrical systems. If your property is near the Mississippi River, consider potential for water intrusion and the need for enhanced grounding. Consulting a local electrician familiar with Galena’s architecture is highly recommended.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Galena often overlook the unique challenges of historic properties, such as failing to update knob-and-tube wiring or ignoring special requirements in preservation districts. Skipping permits or not considering the impact of local humidity and river proximity can lead to safety hazards. Attempting complex upgrades without professional help may also risk damaging original plaster or stonework common in Galena homes.

Helpful?

Upgrading electrical systems in Galena directly enhances comfort by supporting efficient heating and cooling, which is vital given the region’s seasonal extremes. Modern wiring ensures safer appliance use and reliable lighting, especially important in historic homes with unique layouts. Improved electrical capacity also supports home offices and security systems, making your Galena property more inviting for family, guests, or short-term renters in the city’s tourism-driven market.

Helpful?

In Galena, a seasonal electrical inspection routine should account for the area’s historic homes and changing weather. After winter, inspect exterior outlets and wiring for moisture or salt damage from snowmelt. In spring, test GFCI outlets and look for corrosion, especially in basements near the Mississippi River. Before summer storms, check surge protection and grounding. In fall, review attic and furnace wiring to prepare for colder months.
