"Really nice and serviced same day as quote. Even took the time show us how the electrical wiring was set up in our older home so we know how to handle the issue ourselves the next time we want to change out light/fan fixtures. Not many companies would be willing to do that anymore!"
A win for the owners of this panel change.
Ready to label and get inspected
This is guaranteed to provide adequate electric needed to provide heating and cooling on demand.
Panels are installed and look great.
Without yearly inspections of your electrical services in your home this could happen to you. This is the panel that failed and we upgraded.

"I estimate I have just under $100k in electronics and appliances in my house. We have significant lightning storms in my location. To NOT have lightning suppression installed is significant risk in my mind based on my location in New Jersey. RS LIGHTNING PROTECTION was responsive with a quick cost estimate and a reasonable price based on my research for installation. By the way...installation is part art, such as bends in cable are not more than 90 degrees. It's not just about running grounded cables. This installation in conjunction with surge protection on my electrical panel performed by my electrician and cable protection gives me significant piece of mind that all my appliances and electronics are protected from lightning and any potential surge generated by a near strike. Mr Richard Sherlock knows his subject. Highly recommended. Five stars."

"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!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Newport’s humid summers and chilly winters require electrical components that can withstand moisture and temperature fluctuations. Because thunderstorms are common in the Ohio Valley, surge protection and reliable grounding are essential. In flood-prone Newport areas, consider installing elevated panels and using water-resistant materials. Scheduling electrical work in spring or fall helps avoid extreme weather and ensures safer, more efficient installations.

Helpful?

After finishing electrical work in Newport, it’s important to promptly schedule a final inspection to confirm compliance with local codes. Retain all permits and inspection records, especially if your property is in a historic district. Transitioning to ongoing maintenance, test GFCI outlets monthly due to Newport’s humidity, and arrange annual electrical system checks before peak summer and winter seasons. Review surge protection yearly, as storms are frequent.

Helpful?

If you notice flickering lights, frequent outages, warm outlets, or burning odors in your Newport home, these are clear signs to schedule electrical work. Rising utility bills or notifications from your insurance company may also indicate the need for upgrades. Pay attention to issues that worsen during heavy AC or heating use, or when planning to sell or renovate a historic property.

Helpful?

Homes in Newport built before the 1980s, particularly those in historic neighborhoods or near the river, often benefit from electrical upgrades. Signs your home may need work include an old fuse box, outdated panels, frequent breaker trips, or if the house is over 40 years old. Insurance providers may require electrical improvements in older Newport homes to maintain coverage eligibility.

Helpful?

Common mistakes in Newport include skipping required permits, overlooking historic district guidelines, and using materials unsuited for the area’s humidity. Homeowners sometimes neglect surge protection during frequent storms or fail to elevate electrical panels in flood-prone neighborhoods. Attempting complex electrical upgrades in older Newport homes without a qualified contractor can result in safety hazards and code violations.
