"We had lightning rods installed at our home after having 2 previous lightning strikes. The first strike was minor, with only slight damage in the yard. The second was significant when a very large pine tree was hit close to our house causing various electrical issues in the home -- despite having a whole home surge protection system. Just months after having the lightning rods installed, lightning struck an even larger pine tree in our small back yard, Thankfully, the lightning rods saved us! It was a huge strike, and we had no damage at all in the house. These lightning rods were potentially life-saving."

"Great install/product (so far—brand new unit): However, before Blizzard Jan 2025 heard Optimize electrical panel door rattling/“clanking” when I was outside wrapping pipes before blizzard—asked Optimize to check panel door to ensure it’s flush/secure so snow & ice cannot penetrate their electrical box since NEW. Optimize came to check & said there is nothing they can do with loose/rattling panel door, “not to worry”, that no moisture can get to wiring….?? Door is so loose, you barely press the door & it sinks in/a LOT of play. Tech said they have to “allow some air to get inside box”?? Optimize CHARGED me $150.00 to check loose electrical panel door & did not tighten door.. (DEMCO’s generator panel door, installed by Optimize’s electrical panel, is tight/no banging….??). There would be no banging if Optimize panel door was not loose! Once Generator is installed, you have to pay $150.00 for Optimize to come out to check anything you are concerned about with new Unit, post install."

The modern suburban and small town home of today has become an ideal lightning target. The home owner would do well to recognize lightning for the destructive force that it is and protect against this major life and fire hazard. Donohue's Lightning Rods is based in Missouri, near the factory where most of the residential and commercial lightning rod supplies are manufactured. Jim travels regularly to Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New York. Call today to find out when Jim will be in your area. For installations outside Missouri, Kansas, or Texas, Jim waits until there are a few customers lined up, thus being able to provide the same quality services at affordable prices. **WE DO NOT DO ELECTRICAL SERVICES.** (ONLY LIGHTNING RODS)

"The job was beautifully and professionally done. I have a zero scape yard and the gentleman was concerned about disturbing the gravel when putting the rod into the ground. WOW!!!!"

"We had a 22kw liquid cooled QS Generac installed. Since installation, we have had 3 gas leaks and it wasn’t even working since install. We were told they wouldn’t come out until final walk through and not to worry since there is nothing in the Gulf. Ok, fine. Today was the final walk through and it was not a great experience. We were told that we still owed $600. We gave them a deposit of $600 in March that was to go towards the balance. We have an invoice, sales order and initial contract that all have the same amount owed total. No where does it say the $600 credit was applied, even under the payments/credits section. The only difference was the initial contract has the concrete pad and the recent invoice and sales order had a stand. Still the same amount due. We even called the company before to verify the amount and we’re told that it was $20,108.34= $600 off from deposit. So, that’s the amount we got in a check for them. When I called, I was sent to Craig. He was condescending, rude and outright degrading. When he realized we weren’t going to agree and we’re at an impasse, I apologized saying I was sorry we got here and his response was to tell me that “yes, you are sorry and you should write a check for $600.” He went on to tell me that he didn’t know what world I lived in but he lives in the “real world” and that you pay what you owe. We don’t owe anymore. If we did, the contract, invoice, sales order and phone call should have said so. He even went as far as to say that it’s obvious we don’t have money and so, could not pay the $600. No, I’m just not paying more for what I’ve already paid for. This is not great business and disgusting behavior from a manager. Do better and check your contracts."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.

The National Electric Code requires at least one GFCI outlet in each sectioned-off portion of a finished or unfinished basement and at least one GFCI outlet per circuit in a fully finished basement. There may be additional codes based on your local municipality and building department. A licensed electrician in your area will be familiar with the requirements and can ensure your home is up to code.

Single-pole light switches are the most common light switches on the market. Their simple features make them easy to install and use. For more powerful applications that require 30 or 40 amps, you may need to use a double-pole switch. Some homeowners may want multi-way switches like three-way or four-way switches to control a light fixture from opposing ends of the room.

No, sconces don’t have to be hardwired, but they can be for a more permanent solution. Sconces come in various styles, sizes, and finishes as well as types of installation. Plug-in wall sconces can be plugged into a nearby outlet, and battery-powered sconces can be mounted to the wall. 

While you can technically live in a home while it's being rewired, prepare for some debris and dust if your electrical contractor needs to remove parts of walls, floors, and ceilings to access wires. If you stay home during the project, ask your electrician to cut the power supply to all exposed electrical wires to keep your family safe.
