"Despite a -12 windchill, Kevin and Jose sent a notice 30 minutes before their arrival and got to work immediately. They were both extremely courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and industrious. The project was extensive but they managed to keep power interruptions to an absolute minimum. Considering that the generator project required work involving gas, electric, and internet, their presence in our small house went almost unnoticed. I would absolutely recommend them. Great work!"

"Jim for Donhohues Lightning Rods installed the lightning rod system in my home. When the work was done I was very happy as their installer came as per promised time, and perform the work. Before giving them the work Jim completely sold me their work ethics, quality, and service. There was a minor issue and his team took complete ownership of this issue and talked to me in detail. They provide a very good explanation to satisfy me. I am a happy customer."

"WB Lightning Rod company did an excellent job in their installation. They were quick and able to start the work the next day. We have been hit twice by lightning and hope this will help. They were able to give us great information about their product and we are very glad we went with this company. Thank you very much."

"Riley, Mike, and Forest not only installed a standby generator but cleaned the work area so you would never have known they were there. Installed a new electric service line and showed my wife and I how everything worked. Job well done."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Tyler since late 2023 as I have rental properties throughout Jamestown. The work is always top notch at reasonable prices. The greater Jamestown NY area knows how good Tyler Sanders is at his craft so he is always busy. But not too busy to take care of the electrical needs of my properties. I had what was an emergency for me the other day and Tyler came out to check it out when was almost home. He about faced and came back to help me out. I can’t say enough about what a quality individual Tyler is. When my units need electrical work-I only call Tyler-and so should you.."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Leaving lights on raises the electric bill, but not as much as having high-wattage light bulbs. The best way to save on electric costs is to swap your light bulbs to LED or CFL bulbs that use far fewer watts. You can also use smart lights and light switches to control usage via a smartphone or voice-controlled device.

The number of outdoor outlets that can be on one circuit depends on the circuit's capacity and the electrical load of each outlet. Outdoor outlets should ideally be on a dedicated circuit that is not shared with other outlets, and each outlet should be rated for at least 15 amps. A circuit rated for at least 20 amps is recommended. It’s important to use GFCI protection for all outdoor outlets to prevent electrical shocks. Overall, it's crucial to avoid overloading the circuit and take necessary safety precautions.

You can add an electrical outlet outside by sending a wire through the wall from an existing interior outlet. Without having to open up walls, you can thread a new electrical cable from the existing outlet through the wall and to the exterior. You’ll need to cut a hole in the siding to place your new outlet. Ensure that your outdoor outlet is a GFCI outlet (ground fault circuit interrupter outlet) per the National Electrical Code. It’s best to hire an electrician to add an outdoor outlet unless you have previous electrical experience.

When converting a standard 120-volt outlet to a 240-volt outlet, the only components you can typically reuse are the existing electrical box and the hole in the wall. Everything else—including the wiring, breaker, and receptacle—should be replaced to ensure both safety and efficiency. Appliances designed for 240 volts have different plug configurations that won’t fit into a standard 120-volt outlet, making it necessary to install a compatible 240-volt receptacle. This design helps prevent overloading or underloading the power available to any one outlet or circuit.

It's recommended that you only use your circuit breaker for your water heater. Tacking on additional appliances, especially large ones like refrigerators, can overload the circuit and lead to electrical fires. Therefore, it's best to have separate circuits for each major appliance, particularly continuous load appliances, which use a lot of energy over prolonged periods of time.
