Customers say: True professional

"Travis was an ABSOLUTE pleasure to deal with for our recent electrical needs! Friendly, professional, thorough and responsive. Arrived when promised, completed the work as requested, gave us updates as the work progressed and asked us about all final decisions. It can be difficult to find an electrician that will take on small home renovation projects, but Travis made us feel the improvements in our new home were just as important to him as they were to us. Real good guy! We have more home improvement projects that require an electrician and Travis is now the ONLY one we will contact. Thank you! John & Sandy"

"He was prompt and worked very officially. Clean and conscientious about the work he did, he was very determined and helpful. He was good at improvising and innovating methods to solve certain problems. He did more than just the electrical work, put in a fixture, fixed a very sentimental very old antique lamp. He helped with an exterior light fixture and did other helpful tasks."

"WB Lightning Rods did an excellent job installing lightening rods on our home. The owner stayed onsite the entire time to supervise the work. He took extra care to plan the rod and cable placement to ensure the proper protection and retain the aesthetics of our home. His crew were knowledgeable, polite, neat and efficient. We could not be more pleased with the results."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Inverter generators are designed to turn on the engine when your appliances demand more energy. This is in contrast to running at full capacity as soon as they’re turned on, like a standard portable generator does. So long as the wattage rating is high enough, an inverter can power a refrigerator just as well as a traditional generator.

An electrician will charge between $100 to $150 to install a new light switch. Whether you need to cut into the wall and repair drywall will determine your final project cost, as you can expect to pay $50 to $75 per square foot to repair drywall.

Many homes have a 200-amp service, which requires a 2-inch electrical meter riser. Larger homes or homes that require more energy for several appliances and devices may have a 400-amp service. For 400-amp service, opt for a 4-inch electrical meter riser.

Yes, blue wires can be hot wires in the U.S. However, they are less common in residential properties than red and black hot wires. Blue wires are typically used as traveler wires in three-way and four-way switches, as well as ceiling fans. They allow fixtures to be controlled by multiple switches, like when there are switches at the top and bottom of a staircase for the same light.

The color code for the common sprinkler wire is white, and then you can assign the remaining color codes to the rest of the wires for different sprinkler zones. For example, you could use red for the first zone, then blue for the second, and so on.

Color-coding helps you keep track of which wires go to specific zones so that you or a pro can address any issues or repairs quickly. Check your local electrical code for any requirements regarding sprinkler wire colors.
