"William Burden is the third generation owner of WBLightningRods and his company has been in business since 1950. He is very courteous, professional, was on time, and has a very good crew. William was present for the entire installation. We chose the copper system. We are glad for the peace of mind a lightning rod system will provide."

"Damon was terrific. He responded immediately, and came to the house within the week to install the conduit while he ordered the actual EV charge plug. He came back yesterday to finish the project, cleaned up after himself and all is great. Thank you Damon and Ajalon Electric. Will definitely use them again!!"

"I had been trying for months to get an electrician to fix a can light above the sink in the kitchen and no one would even return my calls. I called at least 12 people and nothing. I realize this was a small job but no one in Haywood county would talk to me. Finally went to Home Advisor and did a search and found a guy with great reviews but I didn't expect to hear from him either since he lived about 40 minutes away. He called me within an hour and we set up an appt for in two weeks. He showed up, had it fixed in no time. I asked him about replacing a old circular fluorescent light fixture in the kitchen. He went online to Lowes and found a great LED replacement fixture at Lowes. We live close to a Lowes and he got in his truck ran down to Lowes brought it back and installed and the light in the kitchen is now 200% brighter. Fantastic, I would not hesitate to recommend Bryan. Great job!!!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures safe and proper electrical connections.
