"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."

"Excellent! Mark was on time and did an awesome job in locating the problem and in clearly explaining why the problem occurred and then potential fixes. He even located out-of-stock parts and helped me to order them. Mark was friendly, professional, and clearly informed about appliance repair. I’ve saved his card, for he will be the first one I call the next time I need help."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Homes in Oxford built before 1960 often have knob-and-tube wiring, while those from later decades may have aluminum wiring—both can complicate upgrades. Features like plaster walls, finished basements, or multi-story layouts make running new wires more challenging. If your home is near Miami University or has seen multiple renovations, expect non-standard wiring and limited access points that may require creative solutions.

Helpful?

For a successful electrical project in Oxford, start by outlining your goals and gathering detailed information about your home’s age and layout. Schedule inspections early and coordinate with utility providers for any planned upgrades. Consider local factors such as Miami University’s event schedule, which can affect contractor availability and traffic. Planning around seasonal weather helps prevent delays and keeps your project on track.

Helpful?

In Oxford, unexpected costs for electrical projects often arise from the need to update older wiring, especially in historic homes near campus. Additional expenses may include permit and inspection fees, weatherproofing outdoor outlets due to Ohio’s climate, and correcting code violations like missing GFCI outlets. Delays from winter weather or uncovering outdated panels during renovations can also add time and cost to your project.

Helpful?

Oxford has electrical contractors specializing in residential, commercial, and industrial work. Some focus on upgrades for older homes, while others handle smart home automation, solar panel installations, or electric vehicle charging stations. Many contractors are familiar with Oxford’s unique mix of student rentals and historic properties, ensuring they can address challenges like outdated wiring or specialized code requirements.

Helpful?

New homeowners in Oxford should prioritize a thorough electrical panel inspection and update smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for safety. Installing GFCI outlets, especially in kitchens and bathrooms, is essential. Given local storms, adding surge protection and weatherproofing outdoor outlets is wise. Consider upgrading to USB outlets and planning for smart home features to enhance convenience and future-proof your home.
