"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."

"I was pleased with the installation of the lightning rods--communication was great and the work was done quickly. What I wasn't happy with is he quoted me a price that was less then my actual bill was BUT the price was still less then two other contractors bids."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Urbana, you can safely address simple electrical issues like changing light bulbs, resetting GFCI outlets, or replacing outlet covers—always after switching off the breaker and verifying with a non-contact voltage tester. Keep a flashlight and insulated gloves handy, especially during storms. If you encounter persistent flickering, burning odors, or outdated wiring, stop immediately and contact a licensed local electrician for further inspection.

Helpful?

Urbana’s humid summers and icy winters can strain home wiring and outdoor electrical components. High summer demand may overload circuits, while winter’s freeze-thaw cycles can damage exterior outlets and fixtures. Frequent thunderstorms increase the risk of power surges and corrosion. To protect your system, schedule electrical inspections in milder seasons and prioritize surge protection and weatherproofing for outdoor wiring during Urbana’s stormier months.

Helpful?

The longevity of electrical work in Urbana depends on using weather-resistant materials, managing moisture, and protecting against temperature extremes. Ensuring proper grounding and following local electrical codes are essential. Hiring experienced professionals for installation and scheduling annual inspections help prevent issues from Urbana’s frequent storms. Promptly addressing repairs and keeping detailed records of upgrades will help your home’s electrical system remain safe and reliable.

Helpful?

Schedule electrical work in Urbana if you notice frequent breaker trips, warm or discolored outlets, or persistent flickering lights. Homes built before 1970 often need updated wiring or new circuit breakers. If your home still has two-prong outlets or a fuse box, it’s time to upgrade. Plan major projects in spring or fall, and consider adding surge protection or GFCI outlets to meet current safety standards.

Helpful?

For Urbana homeowners, create a seasonal electrical inspection routine by checking GFCI outlets and outdoor lighting each spring, monitoring circuit breakers and exterior connections in summer, and inspecting heating system wiring and weather seals in fall. In winter, look for ice damage and test emergency lighting. Test smoke detectors monthly and review your electrical bill for unusual spikes year-round. Annual professional inspections are especially important for older Urbana homes.
