"I highly recommend them. One of my lighting rods was damaged during the tragic tornado that hit Ocean Ridge Plantation in South Carolina. They fixed it at no charge. Their work is excellent and timely. I highly suggest you protect your home from lightning strikes and recommend this company They stand behind their work and customers,"

"The problem turned out to be a burned out small electric door switch. I believe the price was way too expensive for the service performed and the price of the door switch. What more can I say? It got done."

"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."

"I thought the work was done well I definitely dont regret using them to get the work done however I did have an issue when it came to communication. I SPECIFICALLY asked him if I needed to be at my house the next day as I was staying in the hotel and I didnt have my own vehicle and he said NO. Well, fast forward to like 8:30/9 the next morning he calls me telling me that I need to be at the house THAT DAY. So I had to pack up everything and somehow find transportation to the house within a few hours or else I had no idea when I would be able to get electricity because he told me that he couldnt come back to the house for another week because he had other jobs. And my frustration didnt just come from that he was also saying that I had to give him the rest of his payment not even 24 hours after he completed the first part of the job and it had to be either a cash check or money order, well I dont have checks so let me just tell you my aggravation for my point of view I DONT HAVE A CAR how do you expect me to get cash or money order after not only having to pack up everything I had in the hotel and having to find a ride, he expected me to also somehow get a money order. He demanded the money but would not accept an electronic payment until I basically told them that he is asking for me to do way too much when I specifically asked him if I had to be at the house. Finally, he took my payment through cash app and was happy to see how quickly he got his money!... In my opinion, electronic payments are more convenient for both parties and should have been an option from the get-go. I hope this experienced changed his business practices or at least made electronic payments an option for people."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Though they may seem similar at a quick glance, outdoor electrical outlets are different from indoor electrical outlets in that they have extra safety precautions to prevent electrical hazards. These include GFCIs, which some indoor outlets have, and a watertight cover that allows you to use electricity from the outlet even on a rainy day.

Yes, California law requires that electricians be licensed by the state in order to do electrical work. However, there is an exception for small jobs valued at $500 or less. In these cases, an unlicensed handyperson is legally allowed to do the work. Limit hiring unlicensed contractors to minor tasks and fixes around your home.

Grounding an electrical outlet can take as little as 30 minutes if you only need to replace the outlet or around two hours if you need to add a ground wire. However, more extensive electrical work will take longer, such as hiring an electrician to ground multiple outlets during the same service.

Yes, but our analogy with the water hose doesn’t really work here. You see, electrical flow isn’t constant: It ebbs and flows like waves, coming in pulses of power. Hertz measures the rate of change in the flow of electricity, or how often it ebbs and flows. For example, 60Hz means that the electrons pulse through wiring 60 times per second. When they are pulsing, they’re in a brief retreat. Almost all United States equipment is rated for 60Hz.

GFCI stands for ground fault circuit interrupter, which means it has the ability to detect a ground fault and shut the circuit down before it creates hazards. General breakers may also do that because ground faults can cause overloads, but they’re more focused on amp overloads from any cause. GFCIs are often installed in specific outlets, but breakers can come with GFCI capabilities built in for broader ground fault protection.
