"WB Lightning is focused on customer service. The company provided good communication and responded very quickly to my inquiry for a quote. WB Lightning is a respected company, I had another electrical service provider tell me I made a good choice when I hired WB Lightning Rods."

"He said he was coming and he didn’t make the date. Said he got tied up with something else.  My wife said he was over booking. It seemed to be. He is trying to get his business off the ground. He finally showed up with a piece of equipment, I kind went down to a home improvement store and purchased the same thing and stuck it in myself. We have an electric box and I challenged him on that and he said I and get you the one from general electric which he did the next day or so. He said he was going to ship it to us and then I would call him and evidently he canceled that. He had gone and purchased what he wanted and put in the right thing. The installation was pretty simple and straight forward but it was the right product for the job so I’m happy I challenged him on that. He tried very desperately to do the right thing and to make the customer happy. He did perform the service and he did put the right thing in."

"It went very well, he is a licensed electrician and he changed all of my old s12 sockets to energy efficient sockets so that I could use my electronic devices and not blow circuits.  I was being charged each time I called in a help ticket.  So I called Mason Electrical Services and had him come out and take a look . He came out and took a look at the problem and gave me an estimate .and I was really satisfied on the price.  He arrived promptly on 8 March 2014 had everything he needed to work with, and completed the work it only took a couple of hours and the job was done.  In that time he installed a ceiling fan in my bedroom with a remote.  He didn't make a mess.  I would definitely recommend him to others needing electrical services in the future.

"the staff are very nice - before they even walked in, they laid down paper throughout the walk path of the house to keep everything clean. They were very careful in our home and courteous. Anthony is responsive and a really nice guy.

"My daughter has a town home on Kent Island and had no protection from the home warrenty program issued less that three month eariler.  The dishwasher stopped working a month after settlement and all she was told was it was an electrical problem.  I turned to Bay Life Electric and Vern from my Angies list search he was the best person I could have found for the job.  He explained what was wrong and how he planned to fix the problem."

"Eddie Watkins with Repair Tech Plus is awesome ? I would hire him again in a heartbeat and encourage others to hire him for all of their electronics repair needs. He arrived on time and examined the problem. He didn?t have the part he needed to complete the repair with him, so he offered to take the power board home, repair it and bring it back to re-install the following evening. That?s what we agreed to, and that?s exactly what he did. Now the TV works great and we?re very grateful to him for his fair price and excellent service.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Grounded electrical outlets are usually three-pronged. You can also look for a grounding clip in your outlet boxes or use a circuit tester. If you’re unsure, consult a suitably qualified electrician regarding your home's electrical safety.

The life expectancy of a circuit breaker is 30 to 40 years. However, how long your circuit breaker lasts depends on the condition of your electrical equipment, the amperage, your electrical consumption, and more. A breaker box that frequently trips from overload will last much shorter than a breaker box with the proper amperage for the number of devices and appliances in use. If your circuit breaker trips frequently, and you have also increased your electrical consumption, it may be worth upgrading your electrical panel to extend your electrical system’s lifespan—and save you the hassle of frequent power trips.

No. Blue wires and black wires are different. Even though both are used as hot wires, they serve different functions. Black wires are far more common in residential properties. They are always hot, can be positive or negative, and usually carry electricity from a power source to an outlet. Blue wires have a specialized usage in residential properties, generally as traveler wires, and are more common in commercial properties.

The National Electric Code states that outlets should not be spaced more than 12 feet apart, and there should be an outlet placed every 6 feet at the floor line in areas designated as living spaces. Most homes in the United States have 75 outlets, but it will depend on the amount you need based on your home's size and your needs.

Homeowners insurance policies will typically cover your cost to replace an electrical panel if damage occurs due to a covered circumstance such as fire, lightning, or certain types of accidents. Regular wear and tear or damage due to neglect might not be covered, so it's essential to review the policy details and consult with your insurance provider on the specifics of your coverage.
