Customers say: Quick response

"Josh was great he took down and put up a new ceiling fan in family room, a new chandelier in dining room, new foyer light. Replaced a dimmer switch and reconfigured a four switch wall switch. He was on time and very thorough. I thought the price was very reasonable. Would definitely hire him again when we need any electrical work done."

"Mr. Jim Gorman who is the owner of the business called me back within a half hour of my email posting. He visited my home 3 days later, inspected things, and told me what the approximate cost would be. He and his helper then installed an entire lightning protection system on both my house and a back garage/storage area. He did things exactly as I wanted in every way. Also threw in a free weathervane which increased the beauty of my home. I would have no objection to recommending this gentleman and his company to anyone who is in need of a competently installed lightning protection system for their home/property. MID-AMERICA LIGHTNING RODS is one fine company run by a man who cares about doing good work according to the latest safety codes etc. Having lost my previous retirement home to lightning, it was very important to me to get this job done and quickly because the thunderstorm season is upon us and with the climate change, those storms are very wicked, especially here out in the country where i live!"

"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."

"Words can't describe how thankful we are. January 24th hours before the snow storm hit we had electrical problems no electricity. They were here immediately. They located the problem and worked 2 days outside in the snow storm. They cared about our safety. They were knowledgeable, very thorough and clean. We recommend them highly! They have our business. GOD BLESS THEM!!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Salem, electrical panels from homes built in the 1960s through the 1980s often need upgrades. Outdoor lighting and wiring can deteriorate quickly due to humidity and storms. Basements with moisture issues frequently require electrical updates, while kitchen and bathroom outlets may need GFCI replacements. Attic wiring and garage or workshop circuits are also likely to need attention as your home ages.

Helpful?

When planning electrical projects in Salem, always factor in local building codes and neighborhood guidelines, especially if you live in a historic area. Severe weather, including tornadoes and ice storms, should influence your choices for outdoor electrical work. Contractor availability can vary throughout the year, so scheduling major projects in spring or fall often leads to smoother timelines and better access to skilled professionals.

Helpful?

As a new homeowner in Salem, start by scheduling a thorough electrical panel inspection, especially if your home is older. Prioritize installing GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas to meet safety codes. Consider adding whole-house surge protection to guard against storm damage. Upgrading attic and basement wiring, and hardwiring smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, will help ensure your home is safe and up to date.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Salem often overlook required permits for electrical work, risking safety and code compliance. Attempting DIY electrical repairs instead of hiring a licensed electrician is a frequent error. Many also forget to plan for humidity and storm-related risks when upgrading outdoor wiring. Skipping updates to outdated wiring or missing opportunities to improve energy efficiency—such as switching to LED fixtures—are other common missteps in the area.

Helpful?

Completing electrical projects in Salem offers immediate safety improvements, more reliable power during storms, and better lighting for darker months. Over time, you’ll benefit from increased home value, lower energy bills thanks to efficient upgrades, and fewer unexpected repairs. Keeping your electrical system current also helps with insurance requirements and ensures your home is ready for future technology and potential resale.
