"I estimate I have just under $100k in electronics and appliances in my house. We have significant lightning storms in my location. To NOT have lightning suppression installed is significant risk in my mind based on my location in New Jersey. RS LIGHTNING PROTECTION was responsive with a quick cost estimate and a reasonable price based on my research for installation. By the way...installation is part art, such as bends in cable are not more than 90 degrees. It's not just about running grounded cables. This installation in conjunction with surge protection on my electrical panel performed by my electrician and cable protection gives me significant piece of mind that all my appliances and electronics are protected from lightning and any potential surge generated by a near strike. Mr Richard Sherlock knows his subject. Highly recommended. Five stars."

"James G from Mid America Lightning Protection is very knowledgeable about lightning rods and how to protect a home. I would recommend Mid America Lightning Protection to friends and family. I feel a good lightning rod system is essential for protecting my home in Fayetteville, NC, especially since we have so many thunder and lightning storms. If you have trees near your house, a lightning rod system seems to be especially important. Mid America Lightning Protection was able to get my lightning rod system installed quickly and with minimal disruption to my tenants."

"Used this company previously and again it was a pleasure from beginning to end. I would give him 10 Stars if I could. Referred William to a close friend of mine and she was just as pleased. We both sleep better during our bad Florida thunderstorms. A friend of mine lost their home due to lightning. They got out just in time couldn’t save anything but their lives barely. I urge all to install lightning rods."

Small jobs welcome

"I remodeled my daughters kitchen changing everything but the cabinets which were to be painted. I contacted HandyPro who sent me Vern to estimate the job and offer some advice and ideas. Once the job was accepted Vern scheduled according to my needs and went over the job in detail. His partner Matt did the flooring and backsplash and Vern did the plumbing and electrical. They did an outstanding job. They even taught me how to best paint the cabinets. They were prompt, very clear on the plans of what they would do and when, and very polite and respectful. They were outstanding representatives of the company. The price of the job was more than fair for the quality and they also solved many little items that came up which could not have been seen during the quoting process. My daughter is delighted and I would use Vern and Matt for any remodel in the future. Hats off to HandyPro for hiring such quality employees. Numerous times when I asked Vern or Matt why they chose to do something in a particular way, they responded with "because that's the way I would want it done in my home"."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

A duplex outlet simply means that the receptacle has two plug-in outlets for two plugs. It’s a common design choice for homes. The two outlets should be wired identically during installation so the hot side is the same for both.

A ground wire is not required for GFCI to work. A ground is a third wire in an outlet in addition to the live and neutral wires. It serves as an escape conduit for electricity in case of a short circuit. If a ground wire is present, installers should connect it to the appropriate terminal. Otherwise, a GFCI will work fine without it.

Labor, materials, job complexity, and urgency affect costs for switches and outlets; expect from $150 for simple sets to $600+ for significant upgrades.

If only half of your outlet works, there are usually two possible causes: faulty wiring or a half-hot outlet. The first thing you'll want to do is check the circuit breaker panel to ensure that it's not tripped. If your circuit breaker isn't tripped, turn off the electricity and inspect the wiring to see if anything has come loose or corroded. 

If you have a half-hot outlet, it means half of the outlet is controlled by a switch somewhere on the same circuit, which should be nearby. This is an intentional electrical design commonly found in rooms without overhead lights.

No. Do not use a 14-gauge wire on a 20-amp outlet. A certified licensed electrician would know that the National Electrical Code (as per Section 240.4(D) subsection 3) requires 14-gauge wires to be used with a maximum amplitude of 15. Therefore, you should only use 12-gauge wires on 20-amp outlets.
