"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."

He works with your budget & helps to ensure you have the correct electric requirements for your specific job. I cannot recommend him enough. So much so that I have already hired him for another job!

"Mr. Jim Gorman who is the owner of the business called me back within a half hour of my email posting. He visited my home 3 days later, inspected things, and told me what the approximate cost would be. He and his helper then installed an entire lightning protection system on both my house and a back garage/storage area. He did things exactly as I wanted in every way. Also threw in a free weathervane which increased the beauty of my home. I would have no objection to recommending this gentleman and his company to anyone who is in need of a competently installed lightning protection system for their home/property. MID-AMERICA LIGHTNING RODS is one fine company run by a man who cares about doing good work according to the latest safety codes etc. Having lost my previous retirement home to lightning, it was very important to me to get this job done and quickly because the thunderstorm season is upon us and with the climate change, those storms are very wicked, especially here out in the country where i live!"

"I hired W B Lighting Rods/William Burden to install lightning rods on my home. I spoke to William on a Monday and by Thursday before 1 PM the lightning rods were installed on my home. William explained everything he was going to do before he did it. The lightning rods were affordable and most of all it gives me peace of mind knowing that my home is protected against lightning strikes and fire damage. I couldnâ t be happier with this company!!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

When hiring electrical professionals in Salem, look for experience with the area’s older homes and knowledge of local building codes and permit requirements. Ask for references from other Salem homeowners and confirm they carry proper insurance. It’s important they can handle panel upgrades or generator installations, which are valuable during local outages. Comparing several quotes and understanding seasonal availability will help you select the right pro for your needs.

Helpful?

Salem’s humid summers and icy winters can affect both the timing and durability of electrical projects. Cold weather and frozen ground make outdoor electrical work challenging, while summer humidity may lead to moisture buildup in panels and wiring. Scheduling electrical upgrades or repairs in spring or fall helps avoid weather delays and ensures better results. Always consider Salem’s seasonal changes to protect your home’s electrical system from local climate stressors.

Helpful?

In Salem, electrical issues like frequent power outages, burning smells, sparks, or outlets that feel hot should be addressed immediately, as these are urgent safety concerns—especially with the area’s cold winters. Problems such as flickering lights or rusted electrical panels also need prompt attention. Upgrades like installing smart switches or outdoor lighting can typically wait. Prioritizing safety ensures your Salem home remains comfortable and reliable year-round.

Helpful?

In Salem, if you notice circuit breakers tripping, outlets sparking, or buzzing sounds from your electrical panel, these are signs you likely need electrical work. However, if your HVAC or water heater stops functioning, the issue may be mechanical or plumbing-related. Salem’s older homes often have unique wiring challenges, so consulting a local electrician is wise if you’re unsure or if electrical symptoms persist.

Helpful?

In Salem, the longevity of electrical work depends on using moisture-resistant materials, proper grounding for local soil conditions, and ensuring all installations meet current electrical codes. Regular inspections and maintenance are especially important for older Salem homes, where outdated wiring is common. Adding surge protection and planning for weather-related power fluctuations will help keep your electrical system safe and reliable for years to come.
